All alaia dresses were pulled from the event.

Alaia brings tears to my eyes it really touches you, and Karls absence too, it makes you think of things you know. These are fashion legends, dont play with them.

Linda, Christy and Naomi I love them for ever! & Stephanie!

The only thing humane now seem to me Alaia & Karl. The rest look like soldiers dressed in uniforms in a dictoral regime...

 

[khyrk]

still no KArlie and MCB

 

[babyjane]

I got a video of the some of the outfits. Not great quality sorry.

 

[fragonard&co.]

thanks for the video . does anyone else find the screaming paparazzi hilarious? like those SNL sketches from a few years back

 

[dumbfairy]

I don't think this was as disspointing as people are making it sound. When I read 'Model as Muse' I think of something relatively out of the ordinary. The girls in the long dresses don't really do it for me, it's a little too much like the Oscars.

I'm loving Leighton, Anne Hathaway, Mary-Kate and Ashley, Stam, Nadje, Claudia, Shalom, Lara, Daria, and Anja.

My absolute favourites though have to be Alek Wek Now there is a beautiful woman playing to hwer best features in a dress that compliements her wonderfully. Iman, who can do no wrong Sasha P who embodies Muse to me in that ensemble, a little bit offbeat, something that would inspire a designer and also Carmen Dell'Oreface I love how in the photo of her there is that line of men behind her For a woman her age to still so look so fierce,and yet make it all look so natural, well, I can only hope that I can achieve even a part of her confidence in years to come.

As for Rachel Weisz, there are no words.

I'm sad there was no Christina Ricci, she looked stunning at last years!

OVER YOUR SHOULDER!!!!




...sorry I got carried away watching those clips

 

[Marpessa]

January Jones was gorgeous.

style

Also, any id on Alek Wek's dress?

 

[happycanadian]

that video was HILARIOUS!

wow. it must be so awkward the first time a celeb encounters a circumstance like this. where literally hundreds of photographers are SCREAMING your name. anybody with epilepsy would definitely need to take the back door, because there were SO many bloody flashes!!

the photogs literally went I.N.S.A.N.E. when Gisele was there. they were in hysterics. "GISELE!! GISELE!!! OVER HERE! OVER THE SHOULDER! SHOW US YOUR BACK! GISELE! GISELE!!!" just crazy!

i love how Ashley Olsen is the only one who gave them a proper "over-the-shoulder". haha. i was like, "child, you betta work!"

 

[retailqueen]

I don't like it cause it looks cheap.
