And then Betsey had former Playboy Playmates instead of runway models for her Spring/Summer 2001 show:

This all reminds me of the most iconic and most prestigious fashion houses in history

The collection inspired by Magritte paintings!
A fabulous collection despite the infamous dresses.
The first show at The Carrousel du Louvre.❤️❤️

I totally remember watching a (straight) p*rno awards show, where they asked the ladies “Who’re you wearing?” and they said “Betsy Johnson.” Meanwhile, the men looked like a cross between Prince & Mickey Rooney in “The Wrestler.”

Soooooo many moments from Heatherette’s brand from yesteryear that can be posted for fun in this thread, but I’ll just post this for posterity..

Carmen Kass for J'adore Dior. She was the perfect girl for it.

The fact that Eugenia Volodina was supposed to be the new face after Carmen (even dying her hair blonde), but she apparently decided not to do it.

I actually see why they didn't choose Eugenia, she, like Gisele isn't the typical, classic beauty which would attract the French or the Europeans
They wanted something more subtle and simple but yet charming and beautiful like Carmen whereas Eugenia was more "ethnic" and intense. Both gorgeous women. That's the kind of brand Dior is. But appearantly they f up using Rihanna for this section, she clearly doesn't belong here.

And that's before Gianni's death...

*Dior Beauty decided to renew Carmen and drop Eugenia after she had already dyed her hair.

Okay now that makes more sense than Margiela!

And the photographers were actually pretty mad from what I have read about yonder’s past when it came to the headwear because it made it harder for them to sell their images to the press and magazines because it wasn’t guaranteed who was behind the headwear supermodel wise! Certain names earned them a higher pay cut and this show really pissed them off (how that’s possible, I’m not sure but it certainly did).

I for one love Treacy’s creations for Chanel. So gorgeous and flirtatious. Having rooster/chicken crows and noises remixed into the runway track adds to the flair.
