Sonia Rykiel model sticks finger in socket - Stylefoul!

Just when you thought things couldn't get any crazier the Sonia Rykiel show for Paris Fashion Week proves you wrong. After seeing Cousin It walk the runway for Margiela, not Cousin It's twin model sister stuck her finger in the socket, got electrocuted and paraded the catwalk for Rykiel.

Sonia Rykiel tribute clothes

And if truth be told, the frizzy orange hair girl wasn't the strangest part of the event. The model who strolled down knitting may have been a bit kookier! Or, let's talk about the giant, neon pink furballs that another beauty wore on her wrists and neck. There was even a girl who had sleeves made of hair.

Other shirts had political themes, while another model carried a dead doll. There was truly no knowing what to expect.

But, the real clothes from the actual house of Rykiel were beautiful feathery evening gowns and other more normal -- if there is such a thing in this industry -- garments.

The wackness that we previously described came after the regular show when Sonia's daughter walked out and announced that there was a second mini-show coming up. The models wore clothing designed by other major fashion names such as Margiela, Gautier and Rodarte in tribute to Sonia. As is obvious, many were inspired by her flaming red hair.
