Sex sells, and you can be sexy, beautiful, and shouldn\u2019t be shamed for it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Of course you don\u2019t have to show skin to be beautiful,&#8221; she said as she got ready backstage in a baby blue full tracksuit.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Katie Price wore a black two piece with a white ruffled bustle (Ian West\/PA)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/00250962-614.jpg\"\/><br \/>\nKatie Price wore a black two piece with a white ruffled bustle (Ian West\/PA)<\/p>\n<p>For the show, Price appeared in a black lingerie-inspired mini dress, taking her place in one of a series of viewing boxes surrounding the audience at Collins Music Hall.<\/p>\n<p>The appearance was, admittedly, familiar territory for the reality star and model.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the little window that I\u2019m in, I just have to be me,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It\u2019s just like being on a photo shoot, just standing there and posing. Something I do best.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m in my absolute element.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\" Katie Price backstage ahead of the Natasha Zinko show during London Fashion Week\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/00250963-614.jpg\"\/><br \/>\nKatie Price backstage ahead of the Natasha Zinko show during London Fashion Week<\/p>\n<p>Price said Zinko\u2019s team had approached her about taking part, and she agreed after looking at the designer\u2019s Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I thought I love it. It\u2019s so different, and the outfit they picked [for] me, I would even buy myself. It\u2019s so me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And unlike some runway clothes, Price could actually imagine wearing it again.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I would. I\u2019d wear it out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The show was titled Pay Per View \u2013 and Zinko took the phrase rather literally.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\" model walks the runway at the Natasha Zinko show \" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/00250968-614.jpg\"\/><br \/>\nA model walks the runway at the Natasha Zinko show<\/p>\n<p>Instead of sending models down a conventional runway, the Ukrainian-born designer populated the individual balconies and viewing boxes of Collins Music Hall with performers, turning the cavernous venue into something between theatre, a live social-media feed and a peep show.<\/p>\n<p>The audience stood in the middle and looked up as different scenes unfolded around them. Crucially, the performers could look straight back.<\/p>\n<p>The staging drew on the idea of the panopticon \u2013 a circular prison design in which inmates can potentially be observed from a central watchtower without knowing exactly when they are being watched.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People behave differently when somebody watches them,&#8221; Zinko told PA before the show.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So the audience is part of the game. They also watch for by our models.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Drea de Matteo walks the OnlyFans x Natasha Zinko show during London Fashion Week\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/00250965-614.jpg\"\/><br \/>\nDrea de Matteo walks the OnlyFans x Natasha Zinko show during London Fashion Week<\/p>\n<p>It was an unusually fitting concept for a show staged in collaboration with OnlyFans.<\/p>\n<p>The subscription platform made its London Fashion Week debut with an 18-piece capsule collection created with Zinko, which formed part of the 42 looks presented during the evening.<\/p>\n<p>The collaboration put Zinko\u2019s stamp on OnlyFans\u2019 visual identity through shrunken silhouettes, graphic X-ray motifs and everyday pieces, including a brown zip-up hoodie emblazoned with &#8220;ONLY FANZ&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Zinko is also joining the platform as a creator, offering subscribers behind-the-scenes access to her studio and creative process.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"James Sutton, Taylor Ryan, Kate Nash and Megan Prescott attend the OnlyFans x Natasha Zinko show\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/00250966-614.jpg\"\/><br \/>\nJames Sutton, Taylor Ryan, Kate Nash and Megan Prescott attend the OnlyFans x Natasha Zinko show<\/p>\n<p>For the designer, however, Pay Per View was less about OnlyFans specifically than the peculiar reality that almost everyone now performs some version of themselves for an audience.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We all perform \u2013 each of us. Some more authentically, some more like they\u2019re pretending to be another person or another character,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So I was like thinking of this live streaming life that we have now and how it influences us as well and changes our behaviour.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The clothes reflected that idea of costume and performance, mixing lingerie-inspired pieces and exposed underwear with cowboy hats, tailoring, sportswear and corporate-looking shirts and skirts.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A model walks the runway at the Natasha Zinko show\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/00250967-614.jpg\"\/><br \/>\nA model walks the runway at the Natasha Zinko show<\/p>\n<p>The show began not with a model walking but with a man singing opera a cappella from one of the boxes, dressed, incongruously, in a pink cleaner\u2019s outfit.<\/p>\n<p>It happened to be Zinko\u2019s favourite look.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He\u2019s going to perform. So it\u2019s actually authentically him,&#8221; she said, before laughing: &#8220;I guess he wants to clean.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>From there, things became increasingly disorienting.<\/p>\n<p>Lights illuminated different boxes in turn, revealing an assortment of characters performing simultaneously as the audience attempted to work out where to look next.<\/p>\n<p>There was kissing, pole dancing and models smoking real cigarettes as Zinko delivered on her promise that audiences would see &#8220;not sex, but close to it&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Price posed in her black mini, while De Matteo \u2013 best known for playing Adriana La Cerva in The Sopranos \u2013 swivelled around on a director\u2019s chair wearing a trench coat.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Kelly Osbourne walks the runway at the Natasha Zinko show \" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/00250964-614.jpg\"\/><br \/>\nKelly Osbourne<\/p>\n<p>Osbourne, meanwhile, channelled something of her emo youth in black, wearing a bow tie and pencil skirt with a dramatic side-swept hairstyle.<\/p>\n<p>The former also tapped into one of the more unlikely trends to emerge this fashion month: the return of business casual.<\/p>\n<p>Among all the exposed skin and lingerie were shirts, ties, pencil skirts and corporate-looking separates \u2013 albeit styled considerably differently to anything likely to appear in an ordinary office.<\/p>\n<p>Zinko said Price and Osbourne were chosen precisely because neither easily disappears into the clothes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They\u2019re such strong personalities, and I adore this [type of] woman,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They\u2019re just like, you know, phenomenal, and I think we need these strong characters. They own the place. They own their window.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\" Models backstage ahead of the Natasha Zinko show\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/00250969-614.jpg\"\/><br \/>\nModels backstage ahead of the Natasha Zinko show<\/p>\n<p>Other performers were selected through an unusually involved casting process, with Zinko\u2019s team asking prospective models about their individual talents rather than simply how they looked.<\/p>\n<p>Each was then given their own space in which to perform.<\/p>\n<p>It made the audience\u2019s attention almost as important as the clothes.<\/p>\n<p>One moment you were watching an opera singer, the next Price posing several metres away, before another light illuminated another performer elsewhere in the building.<\/p>\n<p>The effect was not unlike scrolling through social media made into a live-action role-play. Dozens of people competing simultaneously for attention, each presenting a different version of themselves.<\/p>\n<p>And Zinko seemed less interested in using OnlyFans simply for shock value than in the transactional nature of visibility itself.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A model walks the OnlyFans x Natasha Zinko show\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/0025096d-614.jpg\"\/><br \/>\nA model walks the OnlyFans x Natasha Zinko show<\/p>\n<p>Who is watching whom? And how differently do people behave once they know there is an audience?<\/p>\n<p>Not that Zinko was pretending the evening was prudish.<\/p>\n<p>Asked whether sex could still shock in fashion, she said that, &#8220;we live in a time when people show everything, you know.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now everybody doesn\u2019t care, you know. Like you show your plastic surgery, you show sex \u2013 you show everything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As for what guests were about to witness, she offered a fairly accurate warning: &#8220;You\u2019re going to see not sex, but close to it!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In Zinko\u2019s version of the internet made physical, everyone was simultaneously performer, audience and content.<\/p>\n<p>And after three decades of understanding the value of being watched, Price looked entirely at home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#8220;Sex sells,&#8221; declared Katie Price backstage at London Fashion Week as she prepared to make her first return&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":630798,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[93,61,60],"class_list":["post-630797","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630797","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=630797"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630797\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/630798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=630797"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=630797"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=630797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
