New shows, like The Beautiful Life and Models of the Runway, have been popping up this fall centered on the fab life of modeling. We are intrigued to get a glimpse into the other life.
I got my own peek into the biz on Monday. YouKnowYouLoveFashion.com hosted a launch party for its blog, which critiques Gossip Girl fashion (sarcasm included). The Red Canary welcomed guests into its French-adorned restaurant.
The party began with the viewing of the season premier of Gossip Girl, followed by a runway show (put on by YouJustShop.com), accompanied by figs, cheese and wine. There were Akira looks for each main GG character (Blair, Serena, Jenny and Vanessa). (See my previous blog entry Sui Dreams for info about the characters’ styles). I got the pleasure of modeling both a Serena and Jenny-like ensemble. For Serena, I was clad in a sequin mini and scarf shirt and for Jenny, an asymmetrical zebra shirt-dress, studded leggings, yellow coat and silver chain necklace.
Though nervous I was to strike poses in front of seated strangers in garb not my own, it was unexpectedly entertaining and fun! The 50+ guests were excited and energetic. They cheered me on and snapped photos. So if you have the opportunity to model for the night, I would recommend the experience. After all, to discover what it's like, you must put yourself into someone else's stilettos.
