Summary The women's collection featured colors ranging from muted to neon.
The tall, lanky models on the runway at a show by the U.S. clothing firm Express may not have been out of place in the fashion world, but they did stick out on Mexico City s vast, wind-swept main plaza.
Passers-by, motorists and taxi drivers stopped Friday to watch the "Rock the Sidewalk" showing of the firm s casual styles, ranging from swim suits to cocktail dresses.
The women s collection featured colors ranging from muted to neon, while the men s fashions were more neutral.
Some of the onlookers expressed delight at the sight of the long, white runway stretched out across the five-century-old colonial plaza.
Seventeen-year-old student Andrea Mendoza says a show like Friday s "encourages people to get to know more about fashion and fashion shows."
