Embellished it-bags, huge sunglasses, perfectly-shaggy i-just-woke-up-like-this hair, uniforms of black, black and more black, celebrities, posses, editors, models, and flashbulbs capturing it all: Fashion week is a giant spectacle. Hundreds of people spend months in preparation for a few minutes of magic on the runway. Every outfit, runway song, seat in the crowd, and swag bag is planned down to the last non-earring (http://www.fashionologie.com/tag/AbraxasRex), but no matter how amazing a designer is, they cannot remove the human error of their models. Well, unless they send robots down the runway (which Kanye would probably like) but in this economic climate robots are really not the most viable option for the suffering industry. After the particularly ridiculous model-antics of this Fall 09 season, though, one might seriously consider the option.
Two or three models fell at Herve Leger, while many more slipped, blaming the “slippery wooden floors” for their spills, but one might argue that the stilts they were walking on contributed to the struggle.

So true. =P
ReplyDeleteI thought that Auguste Tomasuite had a previous leg or foot injury that aggravated her once again and that the pain was so intense that it made her cry on the runway.
ReplyDeleteapparently she said that its because she has light blue eyes, and the bright lights aggravated them. LOL.
