Water Pipe Bursts At Men's Fashion Show

Burst pipe gate

A water pipe burst at the London Collections: Men catwalk show this morning, splashing the fashionistas in attendance.

The incident took place just before noon, in the main catwalk building — the old sorting office. A hot water pipe burst over the crowd.
