Top five runway falls

Watching runway shows is way better than watching sports. You have beautiful people parading beautiful fashions down the runway and you have the potential of those beautiful people taking a major fall. I mean it's sad when people fall down and hurt or embarrass themselves, but in all honesty ... it's pretty freaking funny too.

New York magazine has compiled the top five runway falls in recent history. There are videos for some and pictures for the others. I was shocked that Noami Campbell's spill during the Vivienne Westwood show wasn't on there, perhaps it was too long ago. Anyhow, drum roll please ...

1.) The lovely and beautiful Jessica Stam's fall during the Chloe's 2006 Fall show. This one was bad, like really bad. Stam tripped over her own foot, collapsed forward, and smacked her head on the runway. She didn't cry and slunk off the stage, she stood up to a sound of loud applause.

2.) Milana Bogolepova took a spill at Dior's 2008 Resort show. Her body, only covered in a tiny swimsuit, took a major slam ... twice. The "officials" blamed the shoes, but that didn't stop the other models from making fun of her backstage. Poor Milana.

3.) At Proenza Schouler, Elise Crombez bit in 2007. Another shoe malfunction. She was hurled forward by her dangerous stilettos but pulled a major save and escaped the potentially tragic call. You go Elise!

4.) Vivienne Westwood is known for her dangerous shoes and dangerous runway incidents. So in Spring 2007 it was no surprise that Kamila W. killed her career on Westwood's runway. She tumbled, got up, fluffed her hair. The fluff must have been too much for the skinny model because her ankles failed her and she was down for the count.

5.) Marc Jacobs Spring 2007 runway was way too slippery for model Iekeliene Stange. Paired with slick shoes, she was no match for the runway show. After a quick slip she kicked off her shoes and rocked the runway barefoot. The crowd went wild.

This is the last "hit 'em while they're down and laugh about it" column I bother with. The item on jeans and summer reading were worthy Why don't you ask readers to give a numerical grade 1-10 so that you can learn what people want to read, so you can improve this blog. This article reveals unflattering information about the author.

I don't know if I find "model-watching" to be meanspirited anymore. I think it's kind of a right-of-passage type thing now, where even the top models have to survive an occasional tumble. It's almost endearing, and they've become good sports about it. Heck, one of the kids over on The Hills endeared herself to the Vogue editors by having a spill on live TV. It's part of the fun now, so I wouldn't say it was mean at all.

What IS mean is that the tech-guys here STILL haven't nailed down the comment section difficulties, I see.

ok well if i were a runway model i would probably fall too, because like i would be scared and like embarresed to even walk down the runway.
if you fire this runway model, it would be the wrong thing to do. she is beautiful and just think she could get better. eventually everyone will fiorget about the embarrissing day and moment and she could be the best ever runway model.

Personally I don't find it very funny. They may look funny taking a spill, but they could really hurt themselves. These designers need to look out for their models' safety more than the showing off of their (sometimes ghastly) creations.
