If you're riding the subway this week, you may have noticed an increase in the number of girls who only take up half a seat. Super-slim things with the nervy air of woodland creatures clutching huge shoulder bags. Yep, the models are out in force, because it's Fashion Week. A recessionary Fashion Week, with some notable absences from the tents this season (Betsey Johnson, Vera Wang), but still the shows go on.
This year's Fashion Week went off with a bang, as two models ate it on the Herve Leger runway in Bryant Park. Here's video (the stumble happens about :45 in), and you've got to love this 15-year-old's big, gap-toothed grin as she gets to her feet.
It's not quite as dramatic as the Spring 2009 Prada show from last year (favorite moment: when the model gives up and takes off the shoes in disgust and finishes her walk barefoot), but I have to wonder, do the designers secretly hate these girls?
