What happens when a crew of self-proclaimed “bad girl” models get together to celebrate a fellow catwalker’s wedding? Well, as you might expect, it’s a major throw-down. This past weekend, Hanne Gaby Odiele, the leggy model known for her outré street style married her longtime boyfriend and fellow model John Swiatek in a charming, bucolic bash in upstate New York. Odiele, a staple on Alexander Wang’s runway and campaigns, wore white low-slung trousers and a bra top from the designer with a lace overlay and an ivory silk cape thrown over for a bride-to-be effect. Swiatek looked especially dapper in a matching white suit.
Bridesmaids included models Kasia Struss, Anna Ewers, Sheila Marquez, and Alanna Zimmer, as well as makeup artist Tracy Alfajora, all of whom wore slinky lavender slip dresses and went barefoot. Guests included Ladyfag, who hung on a tractor in a slashed-up green leopard-print skirt and bustier tank, while Mica Arganaraz wore an artfully floppy plaid shirt and hip bone–hanging flares and Julia Nobis punctuated the rainy weather in a bright graphic jacket and sneakers. Louise du Toit, who officiated the ceremony, wore a blush pink robe and a violet stole.
Though many of those attending the wedding may have looked slightly more formal than their usual, late-night, partying selves, some habits are hard to break—or as Alexander Wang pointed out in his video of Odiele and crew strutting, “When u walk the runway down the aisle.” And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how a model wedding is done.
