Train Wrecks
Model Eats Runway ... Twice

Model Falls on Catwalk: Click to watchIf you thought Carrie Bradshaw had it bad as "fashion roadkill" on "Sex and the City," you ain't seen nothin' yet.

One poor model had not one, but two incredibly embarrassing falls at yesterday's Vivienne Westwood show during Paris Fashion Week.

The model, decked out in a pink skirt, impractical orange and yellow heels and a watering can full of water, was struggling right from her very first step onto the runway. As soon as she appears in front of the packed audience, the model wiggles, wobbles and nearly crashes face first into the stage. Thankfully, she recovers and gracefully continues her strut, but it's only a taste of what lies ahead.

After doing her little turn on the catwalk, the unsteady model suddenly crashes to the floor, water splashing out of her can as she went down. But, like a true pro, the model gets up and pushes on. Unfortunately, she may have pushed on a little too hard. She immediately begins teetering on her heels, waves her arms in desperation, and finally falls forward again. Hard.

Hey, nobody said being really, really, ridiculously good looking was easy.

121. I am really shocked at the unfeeling and nasty comments. Another human being fell and may have been injured while at work. Yes, at work that is her work. I hope that none of the mean people here fall and have someone take pictures of them. Sad commentary on our so called civilization in my opinion....

122. Cracking up, she needs the black queen on Tyra to show her how to do it! What would have been funnier that when she slipped and fell and droped the water bucket, that the whole runway would have become wet and slippery and every model that walked out would have slipped and fell! Send her back out with a pair crutches and a mask!!!! lol

125. Most of fashion design stuff is ugly. Model and fashion industry needs to really look at itself. They design shoes and clothes that are inpractical and dangerous.
Require models to be so thin so that every and any model can fit in the same outfit. And whats is with that stupid looking walk. Its is not sexy or attractive. It reminds me of a drunk walking the line for a sobriety test. That in itself is dangerous. I am suprised she didn't break something.

126. I feel badly for the poor model featured in this article, but I’m compelled to respond to the remark made by Stan Heck.

Stan, Kathy Ireland couldn't possibly be an idiot. If she were, how would she have built a design business that grosses according to Forbes over a billion dollars a year. I have purchased her clothing, and many of her home products. They are wonderful and a true solution for my busy family.

I recommend that you read her book Powerful Inspirations or visit her website www.kathyireland.com to learn more about a woman that you so clearly know nothing about.

127. this is awful- why did they put water in the can?! it probably weighed 20+lbs. and is no doubt responsible for balance problems- also, did you know that most times a models clothes are selected with no regard at all to what size shoe she wears? Heavy watering can+wrong size shoes+skinny girl=FALL DOWN!!!

128. was it really necessary to have actual water in that can? Its not like anyone wouldve known water was in it unless it spilled. I swear people are stupid as hell

130. Its not supposed to be funny when someone falls but, it is. Water+High Heels= a lot of falling down. I wonder if she's just thinking..." I am done. Washed up so to speak. All because of a can o' water. Ah, but it is a shallow industry.
