Runway Falls

 Runway Falls

Naomi Campbell
Even though it was in 1994, it's hard to forget that Naomi took a spill on the Vivienne Westwood runway
Jessica Stam at ChloƩ, Fall 2006
“It was the fall felt round the world — and thanks to YouTube, it was seen around the world too. Stam’s right foot tripped her up; her body to collapsed forward; her forehead hit the runway. It made even your most embarrassing schoolyard fall look weak. But while you probably would’ve burst into tears, this trooper got right back up — to applause.”

Kamila W. at Vivienne Westwood, Spring 2007
Kamila’s trip was excruciating — and hilarious. Her first tumble brought her to her knees. Then, after getting back up and fluffing her hair, her ankles give — and this time, she nearly broke them. Sadly, her fame seems to end here.

Elise Crombez at Proenza Schouler, Spring 2007
Again, dangerous shoes were to blame. Crombez’s sky-high heels made her pitch forward, like a runner at the start line. The audience gasped, the photographers cringed, but somehow, the girl escaped with knees unscathed.
Milana Bogolepova at Dior, Resort 2008Stiletto sandals and swimsuit cover-up proved too much for poor Bogolepova, who tottered so badly that she hit the ground not once, but twice. Official blame fell on her pin-thin heels, though there were vicious whispers backstage of just how much pre-show champers was consumed

Iekeliene Stange at Marc Jacobs, Sprint 2007
Faced with a slick runway, Stange gave up on trying to maneuver the catwalk in slippery shoes. She kicked off her sandals — to much applause — and continued the walk barefoot. Now that’s how to handle a fall.

THE PRICE OF BEAUTY



Warning: video and image below are shocking and graphic.
PARIS - Isabelle Caro, a French actress and model whose anorexic image appeared in a shock Italian ad campaign, has died at the age of 28.
Her longtime acting instructor, Daniele Dubreuil-Prevot, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Caro died on Nov. 17 after returning to France from a job in Tokyo.
Dubreuil-Prevot said she did not know the cause of death but that Caro "had been sick for a long time," referring to her anorexia.

Caro featured in an ad campaign by Italian photographer Oliviero Toscani in 2007 for an Italian fashion house. Under the headline "No Anorexia," images across newspapers and billboards showed Caro naked, vertebrae and facial bones protruding.

Caro said she had suffered from anorexia since she was 13.

The Pratt Institute created the exhibit in collaboration with mannequin designer Ralph Pucci. It was the result of a semester-long study in texture and form that challenged fashion design, fine arts, industrial design and interior design students to create a textural study to dress female mannequins in paper. Twenty-four pieces were chosen for the exhibit. Judges included fashion designer Anna SuiBergdorf Goodman’s Linda Fargo, interior designer Vicente Wolf and others.
