On January 26, local time, American supermodel Kristen McMenamy shared a show photo on social media, posting next to it "after falling."
Christine, 58, attended the Valentino brand's new product launch at the "2023 Paris Spring Couture Week" earlier in the day. Because of the unstable center of gravity and fell on the catwalk, she was on the hot search, which in turn caused heated discussions...
From the scene of the scene, it can be seen that Christine had an unstable center of gravity before she fell, cautiously walking with the "inner eight figures", completely lacking the aura that a supermodel should have, and she leaned forward while walking.
Although he fell forward, there was no "mouth gnawing mud" scene, but he landed on the ground with his hips and sat firmly on the ground. Immediately afterwards, an audience member stepped forward to help.
Although the steps did not perform at the level, Christine's action of throwing shoes was quite sassy, and then she stood up again, and still kept walking a few steps "inside the figure", looking a little awkward, and this is also considered to be an ankle injury. When she turned to the cross platform, she was back to normal.
What exactly caused Christine to fall? The first reaction was that she was wearing high heels, and then criticism rang out, "I don't want to buy Valentino shoes again", "Christine is brave, and the real embarrassment is the designer, who let him create such ill-fitting shoes".
High heels are seen as the culprit, but they are completely wronged, after all, Valentino's high heels have caused models to fall more than once. Just last year's "Paris Spring/Summer 2023 Fashion Week" runway, at least three models suffered "high heel accidents", either walking crookedly, or falling directly under the steps, and one even walked with a shoe and "disappeared".
Comments later called it a "public relations strategy," but Valentino's spokesperson denied it, saying that there was no such thing, that they had always put the safety of the models first, and that the choice of shoes had been tried on during rehearsals, and that discomfort could be changed.
Models falling on the runway are not uncommon, and most of the time, people give sympathy to models who fall, and it's easy to blame the catwalk failure on shoes or the skirt or pants they wore. But this time many people see another side of things...
From the comments of some netizens in the New York Post, we can know that many people think that Christine fell because she was "hungry".
"No wonder shoes. At a glance, she hasn't eaten much since November," "She needs a burger more than these heels," "Give her something to eat, she's too old to starve," "Melina needs a sandwich and she doesn't look healthy at all."
This is Christine's appearance on the catwalk, sunken cheeks and dull eyes, thinking about how it would feel if she encountered such a face on the street. Of course, if you put it from another angle, this is "becoming a demon and becoming a demon", or how can someone praise it as a "white-haired witch".
Christine became famous in the 90s and was famous for her androgynous appearance when she was a redhead who was later cut short and dyed black. When she returned to the runway at half a hundred years old, she dyed her hair white again and made it her new logo.
Whether Christine is hungry or not, outsiders don't know, but I think she won't eat too much, otherwise she can't be so skinny.
And the reason for maintaining this look is also to meet the requirements of designers, even if the fashion industry has now set a lower limit on the weight of models, but there are still many "skinny" people.
