Naomi Campbell falling over in Vivienne Westwood's platforms is probably the most classic

agreed

What do you expect in 12-inch heels?

On an interview... Naomi said that the trick is that those platforms had the center of gravity on a different place... you were supposed to put your weight to the front .. or was it to the back?
Anyway..tricky indeed!

I'm searching for past threads and I stumbled on this. Teehee. Models tripping...
As Calvin's (Calvin & Hobbes) dad would say, "it builds character".

Besides, the models get applauded nonetheless. Happens to the best of them.

That Gucci show was a disaster waiting to happen.* LOOK what they are walking on.* Heels can easily get caught in that sheepskin, or whatever that is.* It would be "sad" if they girl just sat there.* But, they always get up.* No one is really ever laughing at them.* Its funny when anyone falls, even if it isn't on a runway.

It happens to the best of them.

I don't think it's sheepskin. That would've been extremely expensive. And I mean extremely. It was nonetheless, "a disaster waiting to happen," as you put it. And whomever designed that set was on crack. Five inch heels and textured surfaces such as that do not mix!

it looks like velvet [/b][/quote]
It was actually faux sheepskin. I may have been expensive, but then again Gucci has even covered their runway in rose petals......can't get much more expensive then that, unless you covered the runway in chinchilla or sable fur.

I don't know about those Westwood shoes, but the Dior shoes from last fall probably aren't very difficult to walk in if you have experience wearing heels. Remember that models, especially at a Dior shoe are walking at a really fast pace and the force one foot in front of the other......mabye with a normal walk they could actually be worn.

I meant posting in this thread a few days ago! How ironic

Anyhow, I agree about the Dior...

Although some of those models must've been pretty experienced! Some of them glided on air in those fetish heels, as if nothing. Karolina Kurkova especially.

...Alek Wek nearly tripped and narrowly escaped a broken ankle, as well..

Anyhow, Bettina Weitze falling at that show was so sad

Poor, poor girl. She was down for quite a few seconds... you know that had to hurt.

She was never hired again for Dior!

I uploaded a video of the fall for any of you who care enough to see it:

That outlandish strut they have to do on the runway looks like it is also a culprit for tripping and twisting ankles. They cross their legs over very severely and take gigantic steps, yet hardly bend their knees. On almost all of these photos, you can see where the girl set her foot down wrong...a little on the side, and just rolled over on her ankle. I have done this a zillion times when I am hurrying and it is almost always a guaranteed sprain. The way they have to walk, combined with the sort of shoes they have to walk in is basically an equation for disaster.

I'd definitely have to agree with that.

I think one of the Dior model slipped on the carpet in the couture show. You can see it on the video. It's really funny when they fell actually...I think once Jaquetta almost killed someone in the front row when she slipped at Lagerfeld.

We need a "Models falling on the Runway" Thread!

I love it! It`s funny & brings some "life & realism" into the artificial Shows!

A couple of years ago during fashion week I was at a show and there must of been a hole or the floor must of been uneven because every single girl kept stumbling in the same exact part.

I'm gonna get fired laughing so loud at work. That sounds like one of those urban legends the way you wrote this. It's hilarious.
