'Fashion shows not just about clothes'

London, July 4 (IANS) American model-actress Whitney Port says fashion shows aren't just about clothes, it is also about taking care of other details like hair, nails and skin.

"A fashion show is not just about the clothes; it's everything from the hair and the make-up trends to the jewellery and even the fingernails. I once took half-an-hour to pick one nail colour!

"You take a lot of pride in it all because you know how many eyes are going to see it," contactmusic.com quoted Port as saying.

The 27-year-old knew she had to start at the bottom in the fashion world and would not get any special favours.

"When you are a new designer you can take whatever spot you can get during Fashion Week. My show was at 9 a.m., which was good because it got a lot of people there but we had to arrive at 10 a.m.

"I literally spent 10 minutes in hair and make-up. I told them just to do something really fast and make me look decent," she said.
