[FRANCY ITALY]

especially the one in the previous page is scary as hell

Poor girl..that's what a month of walking in brand new heels will do to your feet.

That poor foot looks broken to me.

Also the shoe is too small.

The heel is just dye from inside a shoe, I hope.

WTF?!?!
This can't be healthy

 

[CommanderTMugler]

Holy Crap! That's crazy! Why are these girls not getting the proper shoe sizes?!

 

[diesanni]

^Because they are not available? They have to work with what's given to them at the shows.

 

[CommanderTMugler]

You would assume all that is taken care of during the castings, specially for shows as big as LV and Roberto Cavalli.

 

[StoneSkipper]

Making shoes the size of models' feet is way more expensive than just throwing the samples ones on any outfit.

 

[Crying Diamonds]

Was there a show both models were in previously where the dye came out of the shoes?
It looks as if the second girl was wearing ankle boots as I doubt her foot would bruise in an ankle-boot shape..

 

[Littleathquakes]

those shoes are way too small. Models are tall people, with the exception of people like Lara Stone, so they generally have big feet. You would think it'd be the opposite problem with the shoes being larger than the model's feet to accommodate for the average feet size, rather than these Cinderella shoes.

The ankle bruising could also be from an actual twisted ankle backstage or something, or maybe even just from impact of a month of walking. Stomping down those runways in heels must put SO much pressure on the ankle.

Poor Daiane, did someone laugh at her? (opening look)

but she handled it with grace. even the way she pulls and throws the dress is elegant

Frida tripped a little (7:28)

 

[diesanni]

I think the boobs-falling-out-of-dress-thingy happens on purpose more often than not. It's not really a mishap to me anymore.

You can see Milly Simmonds tripping on the back at 7.34

Also Aymeline Valade tripped a little at Giles S/S 2012 (07:54)

 

[zacatecas570]

I think Liya tripped or something wrong is happening with her shoe at 10:23 at the finale
and you can see Mariacarla talking to Anna Selezneva, I know that was posted before but you can see it here too at 10:43, also the photographer yell at Raquel, probably because she didn't pose when she came out the two times

Mariacarla laugh a little when Liya tripped at 2:12

My Favorite Mistake

Manolo Blahnik on the shoe that almost ended his career.

...

The first time I had a major mistake was due to my inexperience. In 1972 I was invited by Ossie Clark, one of the biggest designers on earth, to do this collection at the Royal Court Theatre in London. I made these divine, fabulous heels. I think it was my first shoe, actually. They were royal-blue suede with acid green inside, and a sole made of crepe rubber, which is beautifully white. It’s like walking on snow, but in rubber.



For the heels not to bend, they needed a steel spine inside. I didn’t realize that. So here we are. The fashion show started. Everybody in London was there. It was extraordinary to see all these models coming down the runway. I looked down and saw all the shoes going—boom, boom boom! The heels were moving around and bending. The models were moving in such a strange way. It was movements you’ve never seen before, even in the sirens of Hollywood in the ’40s. I thought, “Oh, my God, this is the end of my career definitely. Tonight, it’s finished.”


It was humiliating for me to see what happened at my first fashion show. But when it ended, people came up to me and said, “Congratulations. This is divine! Those shoes are great. It’s sexy. Blah blah blah.” I didn’t see it that way—I thought it was a horrible thing.
