Sudanese Models Arrested After Fashion Show

Comments (10)

Models that ripped the runway last Thursday in the Sudanese Next Top Model Fashion Show were later rounded up and detained by police in the nation's capitol of Khartoum. According to Reuters, the fashion show – the first public event of its kind – featured both male and female models on the catwalk, a big no-no for the Muslim state, which enforces separation of the genders. Sudan's fashion shows are generally private events.

"They came to the club after the show and arrested between 20 and 30 people -- not just models, but people doing the makeup, the people who provided the clothes," said a participant. The majority of those arrested were released Friday, except for six models who are facing unspecified charges.

The models were said to be modeling wedding dresses, traditional Sudanese clothes, suits and garments from local shops.
