Milan Fashion Week Serves Up More Runway Roadkill

Doom doom doom... another one bites the dust.
Milan Fashion Week had a case of runway roadkill today as a clumsy catwalker tripped during Mila Schon's ready-to-wear show. (Insert evil snicker here. Sorry, we can't help it.)
Luckily, the model was offered a helping hand by a good Samaritan sitting in the front row, but it's still going to be pretty darn hard to live down that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" pose.
Model pratfalls seem to be as contagious as swine flu at the Milan shows. Let's not forget the shoe SNAFUs at Gaetano Navarra's show, which had models ditching their heels halfway down the catwalk.
You think maybe they should start giving these girls knee pads?

This is a very common occurrence by these thin stick models who wear high heels and try to shake their bony fanny as they traverse the runway. My advice is for these gals to give themselves a lower center of gravity by beefing up their butts.

maybe they should have heel height limits for models. Most aren't wearing shoes that fit anyway. It's a wonder they don't have more models breaking ankles.

With all due respect, Erin Donnelly, I found your article a little on the ... evil snicker side and I wonder why. Accidents DO happen to everyone, and if they are happening more often with those girls on the catwalk that means something is wrong with the shows, with whatever the girls are forced to wear or how to walk, something. My comment says, basically, your comments drip venom in the name of entertaining, or just forced humor on the back of a girl who might get sacked. I really hope that she'll continue her profession, in spite of those published remarks. Thank god for good Samaritans. We need more of them.

Here Here. Catwalks that are slick, moving, steep grade, uneven you name it and then models that have to move quickly and wearing shoes that are usually too big or too small by more than one size and dumb people have to make a joke out of it. I'd like to see all the snicker-doodles get there behinds out there and give it a try. I do hope she overcomes this. Did you see that runway? It was slick as all get out.

You are so right Antika! I am constantly appalled by the increase in poor taste commentary by those relatively new to the journalism business. Our youth has not been raised with much courtesy. So sad.

When are these SHOE designers gonna get real??? How many gals can really walk in a natural way on 5-inch stilts?
Glad I kept my old shoes--Lets see some sensible heel heights designed so everyone can wear them.

This sensitive (?) reporter, Erin Donnelly, seems to think it's cute to snicker and criticize rather than report on the show. I would love to see ms. donnelly on the runway herself and fall flat on her judgemental, critical face. No wonder the rags and newspapers are losing it's readers. Who wants to read about some poor soul who had an accident (as we all do from time to time) and some moronic reporter who makes fun of it. Get a life, sweetie....and another vocation.

I cannot believe the nasty tone of this article. It is as if the writer is HAPPY the model fell. Haven't we all been in a position that we were all praying.."please Lord, just don't let me trip!" I remember thinking it at my college graduation, wedding, awards ceremonies, etc. Lucky it didn't happen, but if it DID, I would want to smack the smirk off the face of someone so crass as to comment publicly on it. Ms. Donnelly better hope she is perfect, because you reap what you sow. (nasty vile woman!)

I am married to a model and all three of her sisters are models. The world they live in is, I'll just say not all but most are way out there. They do fall, some get up some don't....

Wow Donnelly. You're so cool. Wish everyone got paid to be a nasty snot like you. It's not funny that these women are falling. Also, a 12 year-old girl blogging on her pretty pony website could have written that article. Be a real writer and, as I'm sure you were taught in any kind of school you went to, look at what happened, and then say something about it. That's right, actually write something worthwhile! Like what all these falls are saying about the industry, or how they can be prevented. Your ridiculous snickering makes me wonder if the tripping model isn't about 10 times better at her job than you are at yours.

This is not newsworthy at all and must be written by a writer with nothing to say and desperate to make a tory out of anything. And a mean-spirited, shallow story at that, Your writing is a mirror of your emptiness and lack of anything important to say, Erin Donnelly. The only thing newsworthy here is how hard up for material you are. I found that very interesting.
If your writing ever improves in substance, I hope you trip on your way to put up an award for it.

In 5" heels these ladies are toe -dancing, not walking. It's outrageous. A model who weighs less than her shoes is bound to fall from grace from the weight of her feet. The entire industry is ridiculous despite the bigger than life case Meryl Streep presented for the hideous need for fashion in The Devil Wears Prada. Who cares, besides Paris Hilton or one of those dreadful Karadashian tramp steamers or Posh the Pouteur?

The models don't need kneepads, but some real-life, down to earth shoes that are made for walking. How any human being can walk in those five inch heels is way beyond me.

It sounds to me like Erin Donnelly needs to be severely repremended for her cowardly, unsympathetic comments about catwalk models. Perhaps she's so jealous and envious of the ladies she reports about ( because she could never do it herself )bitterness shows through her reporting!!She needs to be FIRED!!
