Runway Mishaps

[sethii]

SHE'S ALIVE! [unless she fell through another runway and died this time]

Then K. Morgan took the stage. This is the first year in Charleston Fashion Week for the recently opened boutique and the crowd burst into applause at the fresh new looks. When the owner herself stepped onstage to take a bow, the applause swelled with appreciation when all of a sudden the woman took a misstep and plunged through the middle section of the runway floor. Gasp! Photographers stormed toward her, when a camera totter himself also tripped and fell into the hole. No one popped up to show they were okay, rather the poor lady crawled the length of the runway on the ground to the safety of backstage. The MC Brook Ryan of 95SX Two Guys and A Girl in the Morning eased the crowd and suggested grabbing another drink before the next selection. Eventually K. Morgan came back on stage for a victory walk. Luckily no one was hurt and it was all a fluke deal. Apparently all the models and store owners did a dress rehearsal walk the day before, but Ms. Morgan had missed the practice run. What she didn’t know was the middle of the floor was actually just sheer fabric to allow light from below and only the periphery was actually runway.

I love it when the TFS detectives find us the whole story! Karma for that!

I think we need a best-of-fashion-mishaps thread, not for comments, but so these gems don't get lost in the massive thread. Maybe a mod could maintain it.

This is my second favourite mishap. The best is the one where the martial arts guy broke the hole in the stage and the poor model fell in.

Dear God, she really had to fight, didn't she! Sounds like one of those life-or-death missions.

LOL

I'm beginning to think she planned this all out so she could get more press lol....

You know what else is funny in that view, lol. After the designer/owner starts falling down, the last model turns around, sees it and then just continues on walking, lmao. Guess she's not booking that show again.

[Paws]

Just re-watched that clip!!

I didn't notice the first time I saw it .....but when the 2nd photographer who goes to help and also falls in...........well, he must have been standing right on top on her (unless as reported above and she actually did crawl away).

[Fontenrose]

Yeah, I couldn't believe the second photographer fell in too! That's hilarious!

You are not allowed to build runways like that! They built a pit trap -- someone is going to fall in.

The clip from Charleston FW is epic...

 

[Mr-Dale]
