The Costume Institute Gala 2009: The Model as Muse

[b9409]

I think erin o' connor was actually there

Would love to see her in a spectacular Dior Couture creation, from the old days when she used to model them... like 2004 or something. Along with Alek and Gisele, she was a huge muse to countless British/French designers like Galliano and McQueen.

whooo I finally got to the end of this thread. okay my thoughts so far:

Anna Wintour: I could have sworn I've seen her wear that dress before. Didn't she wear it to a wedding?

ahh forgive me. anna wore a different dress from that chanel collection to selma's wedding. it was a similar style though.

Who is Leighton wearing? Dior? Lacroix?

 

[katherine]

^ Louis Vuitton.

I hate the late 70s, mid 80s, early 90s vibe. Paulina P "dress" will be in my nightmare tonight.

Why is everyone wearing LV shoes?

^ she could have done so much better.

I guess she has to try hard to be on the cover next time, instead of Blake, lol. Since she is the fashion-forward one of the two.

 

[katherine]

Anja badly dressed, really? I thought she did the dress so much justice.

 

[Nixon058]

i wish mk dress fit better under the arms. from the front it looks off. that dress could have been killer.

 

[LegsXI]

I thought Anja looked good too. would have liked something more flamboyant on her but the dress looked good and so did she

hahaha you all come up with excuses to save Annas face but its true Karl & Alaia are FASHION ROYALTY they are in this bizz before Anna was born editors longest time is like 10 years then theyre over! Why should super models pay tribite to an editor while they have they are the princess of the Kings?

Big-name designers like Karl Lagerfeld, Azzedine Alaia, and Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana are also staying home, possibly because Marc Jacobs has already commandeered the event by buying up at least two tables and by dressing Moss, Madonna and Kerry Washington.

It is funny that Tyra still thinks that she is a supermodel and her style of 'modeling' is still relevant. Pursing the lips, showing the neck... where does she think she is? It is so 90s, it makes me wanna puke.

She is clueless, and she thinks she can teach modeling to young girls. Yuck.

she actually can teach them how to do it, younger models are so blah that they need it.

Chanel Iman is absolutely eye catching and gorgeous in Zac Posen.
and blake lively in versace reminds me Ad campaign of esteen lauder - the mixture of blue and blond. but it's not bad. what I'm wondering is - why blake always design herself in such mature style?? after all, she's only 22!
