Valentino Model Says Fuck Your Runway

She looks like a drag queen in the GIF.

That looks completely planned.

Also, those shoes are ugly.

And her ass looks large.

And this was 25 years plus years ago. Kristin McManface was hot for like 2 years ago in the mid 90's.

Oh my god! Fashion roadkill!

Did she ever fuck Sandra Bernhard?

R4 It's from Valentino's spring 2023 haute couture show, like it says in the article that you can't read.

Big model feet crammed into too-small heels — she probably lost circulation. Look at the way her feet flop around like dead fish after she peels those pumps off her big flippers.

Kristen is a legend and still working at her age. She's the Top Jolie Laide of all time. The dress is not cut to allow her to walk normally. Thus, the trip. Poor Kristen. I have always liked her.

Barefiot she seems pigeon toed. Maybe that's the problem.

I rather think the opposite is more likely.

Oh my god that poor girl at r18! Lol. What a shoddy runway.

OHFG! I've never laughed so hard in my life. I almost knocked a lung loose.

Sure, laugh! Hardee har har! What fun! R12 shattered her coccyx and crushed nerves, and has hobbled with a cane ever since. R13 fractured both wrists and broke her nose, and had a concussion. Fortunately, her nose was repaired and more beautiful, but she had PTSD and fled modeling. Works the food bar at a Gold's Gym in flyoverstan. Do you see the way R18 keeps sinking. In fact there was a 15 foot drop under the catwalk into the cellar, which was a rattlesnake den.

R21 Everything but the bloodhounds snappin' at her rear end.

She'll be fine. She just needs some cocaine, a cigarette and a glass of Champagne.

At her age, she's lucky she didn't break a hip with that fall.

R10- Agreed- She seems incredibly cool- Check out interviews with her on Youtube. She's okay!

Interesting, r26. I wonder if Alessandra Ambrosio’s daughter Anja is going to hit the nepo baby trail as well.

This model is considered a SUPERmodel ? How ? She's rather unattractive and too old looking to be doing this. (I'm her age).

Years ago there was an article about Kristen McMenamy in the New Yorker or someplace where they talked about how she was turned down by every major agency but she was so determined to be a model and so persistent that she managed to do pretty well for a couple of years.

I'm enjoying the fall-down gifs.

The different wigs are interesting in how they change her look.

Wow. I didn't realize there were 58-year-old supermodels who were still actively modeling.

Every so often a Carmen, r35.

Wow, that poor girl at R18. 🤕

I'm assuming she's the designer, r37, and didn't know she wasn't supposed to walk in the center.

I would have kissed his boo-boo

Naomi is 52 and Christy is 54 and you will see Naomi on runways every year, and Christy very occasionally. They both do print work.

It was explained to you above that Kristen was the TOP Jolie Laide model. She was very hot in the early 90s for that. Very glamorous and edgy and high fashion. She took a break to have kids. Then she came back as a mature model and has walked TONS of couture shows ever since.

Oh I didn't know that R38. It certainly looked painful.

Just a guess on my part, r41.

Isn't that what it looks like, r43? She isn't modeling and takes that little bow like the designer would. It looks like the center strip is illuminated from below and covered with translucent material that isn't meant to be walked on.

It could have been worse. She could have been hit by a giant pendulum.

Yes it does. I really didn't catch that until I went back and looked at it again. Who is she? Do you know?

The woman at R18 was K. Morgan, a boutique owner. She missed the rehearsal walk the day before and so she didn’t know the middle part of the runway was sheer fabric.

R18 shows CS Lewis is really reaching for ways to get to Narnia. "In the 1990's, Hillary Hogbottom was a well-regarded designer of women's attire. One day, at a fashion show highlighting her upcoming line of ladies' apparel for spring, she fell through the catwalk and right into Narnia she went!"

[quote]She missed the rehearsal walk the day before

I knew it!

R35 - Janice Dickinson turns 68 in a couple of weeks, and would like to remind you that she is the original SUPERmodel, and is still very much in demand, even though she's never working very much, thank you. How dare anyone forgets the orignal model who put 'SUPER' into "SUPERmodel" !

At the 02:30 mark in the r34 video Mcmenamy gives a little hop, perhaps to avoid a fall (?)

Clearly, we now must watch it 300 times.

And I still can't stop laughing.

R54 = the late Jim Vance (Washington DC news anchor)

I loved the "included a look from the fall" burn.

^^ was just going to post that!

It’s the gold standard for model falls. And the way she’s crouching/creeping with her watering can and she tries to keep going…

Moments like this - Priceless

Honestly I think she's fabulous. Heroin chic, I'd be friends with her

Damn, what size is this bitch’s feets?

R47, I hope she never missed another rehearsal after that! I know a lot of big celebrities go to those shows and, omg it would be embarrassing. It's bad enough that it happened at all.

R18 I cannot stop watching this….crying with laughter….

You think she's gonna pull herself out, r62, and then...nope.

R62 Yes, looks like she’s going to make it out and then disappears into who knows where….probably better that as it would be fairly awkward hauling oneself out in front of the audience, better to Just fall into the stage

She probably stayed there until after the audience filed out.

Thank you R34. I went to high school with Kristen, spent a little time with her after graduation. She had a pudgy boyfriend and a very conventional 70s/80s shag. She wanted to be model but was so generic and clueless that seemed unlikely.

I heard a lot about her from friends in the fashion industry over the years. But I never actually saw her work as a runway model. I saw a few photos and that was it.

I had been baffled by her success, but I get it now.

Here's a longer video of the incident at R18.

Almost nobody does anything to try to help her. The last model looks back and sees what happened, but just keeps walking. Finally, three guys try to rescue her, but one of them tumbles into the abyss himself.

Never cared about fashion shows and models. Seems tacky to me. Oh well. Enjoy!

I did notice that too R68. The last lady sort of turned her head, and she didn't try to help her at all. Then I thought maybe she really didn't see what happened from her point of view.

Or maybe she just didn't give a shit.

Yeah probably R71. Those Women walked the walk and the competition between each other must have been vicious.

Who is the yellow jacket and scarf guy in R45? I see him in memes all the time.

R55 that is one of the funniest things I've seen in my life

I pee myself every time I see it

Going... going... and we have a recover 👍

This one should have left the beekeeper's hat at home...

She’s got nothing on anorexic Chanel bikini chick!

[quote]R66 I had been baffled by her success, but I get it now.

The fabulous thing about your classmate (!) Kristen McMenamy is her features were BIG. Symmetrical but almost ungainly. They could be manipulated to look grotesque.

That’s a good contrast to the pretty princess types like Niki Taylor and Christy Turlington, who are kind of interchangeable when you get right downtown it.

“Downtown to it” ??

Well, somehow that’s okay, actually : )

I love that she stopped, dropped and then served FACE!

The best is that 2008 Charleston video.

Watching that sweet southern frau get sucked straight down into hell gave me life!

Her leg hung on- it HUNG ON, but Satan said- NOT TODAY CHARLESTON!!!

SPLAT!!!!!!!!!!!

She certainly did, r80. Some get challenged by a mere pivot.

Kristen fell last summer at Gaultier. And I think that was the "bride" number. Sheesh 57 yo stumbling bride. Fashion!

Kristen, Kristen, don't break a hip!

Lagerfeld wasn't much a director, and Kristen's not an actress, but here it is anyway.

Male models aren't stuck wearing those skyscraper heels.

^ "The male bikini is an expression of masculine strength..."

😂

It’s not the first time.

r88 LOL at 00:17-22 The look on the dog's face is hilarious!! That is the best - thank you!

R83 Fuck, what are they paying this bitch for? You have one job.

Walk.

She looks great for 58.

And that dress is FABULOUS.

At first glance, the falls in the R55 video are funny, but when the model's feet are twisting that much sideways, surely there's a chance of real injury.

The backstory behind K. Morgan at R18. Supposedly she wasn't hurt.

The one and only. Surprised this hasn’t come up already.

Other people falling is so funny

^ None of them seem to get hurt, so, yeah, kind of funny

Been that way for a long time...

It's hilarious when women choose to sashay arpund in ridiculous 10" platform shoes and then OMG fall on their asses.. You picked it bitches

The models are not choosing to sashay say around. They are paid to model what the designer puts them in.
