Same with a Dolce show - they’re oozing that sex when they walk down the runway. “At a Michael Kors show they’re taught to look more sexy and give it more. The male runway pros look anything but messy, even though European designers “almost like an awkward walk,” Perrett says - “that blase look, like you don’t care, you don’t want to be there, you want to get in and out, don’t smile, walk straight, make a left.” Male runway models of late tend to fit into two categories: hot and buff or pale and sinewy, depending on the show. “There was controversy this season because it was actors taking models’ jobs,” says Pernett, who thought the final show, with appearances by Adrien Brody and Emile Hirsch, “just looked really messy.” Apparently the Prada casting is already so cutthroat that models don’t know if they get to walk the show until moments before it actually happens. “Why is that? Because they’re teenagers.” And crafting the right runway persona may have been more important for the male runway models this season than ever before, as a slew of slots in the coveted Prada show went to actors, not models. “A lot of the guys have really bad posture as it is,” explains casting director Douglas Perrett from COACD.
Male models, like all the ones we saw at Milan and Paris Men’s Fashion Weeks that wrapped over the weekend, often receive runway training from their agents, casting directors, and show producers. The best in the business combine posture, attitude, and putting one leg in front of the other to create a moment that either really makes you want to be them or want to have sex with them.
The oft-ignored male runway-model walk is no different: They don’t just show up and walk like they normally would on the street - there is work, training, craft involved.
CRIMINAL MODEL RUNWAY WALK TV
(In part because no shortage of airtime on reality television has been devoted to just finding a model show that will stick when it’s thrown on TV in the first place.) And so a lady’s catwalk has morphed into an enigma of the right posture, attitude, and hip sashay that come naturally to some blessed few and easily manifest in mass awkwardness for the rest, while those of us watching these girls walk back and forth often wonder who falls into which category. Her family moved to the United States when she was 10 to gain better access to medical care to slow the progression of glaucoma.No shortage of airtime on reality television has been devoted to the female-model runway walk. Lawal, 37, of Brooklyn, was diagnosed with cataracts as a young girl while living in Ghana. The women, on a makeshift runway, modeled outfits from multiple designers, such as casual-wear shop Legendary LLC, Kurvacious Boutique, and plus-size clothing company Ashley Stewart.
Smith plans to hold a second show in October during Blind Awareness Month. The sold-out event at VFW Post 1790 benefited the Foundation Fighting Blindness, a national nonprofit that works to raise awareness and drive research for retinal diseases. “I’m inspired even by my own self,” she said. She initially planned for only a handful of models, but after announcing the event, she expanded the number of participants after reaching more visually impaired women than she expected. So Smith began planning her own show over a year ago. By clicking Sign up, you agree to our privacy policy.
