Who says models are all beauty and no brains? Okay, I can't vouch for their brains, but I can prove that they have some mad skills. Wearing what looks like a suffocating bag around your face and having to walk down a long runway takes precision. Many models trip, even without such an obstacle, so I give the models who walked the Junya Watanabe Fall '08 show in Paris some respect. It looks like Paris and London, namely the shows of Watanabe, Maison Martin Margiela, Rick Owens, and Gareth Pugh, proved to be the most taxing for the models. Then again, signing on to work with such avant-garde designers, they probably expected a bit (okay, a lot) of craziness. Could you do it?

3I hope ANTM producers are watching. This would make an excellent challenge!
4WTF?!!!!!
5That's actually kind of disturbing to me.
But kudos to walking down a runway like that. I know I couldn't do it.
6They look like Gareth Pugh rip offs. I love Gareth Pugh! I'm not interested in this collection.
7WTF is this!!!!
8agree with buzz!
9If I saw this coming my way on the street, I would probably scream and run in the opposite direction.
10that's frightening...why would you pay all those models and not use their pretty faces? weird...
11what about the contraptions that victor&rolf made their models wear? they woulv'e been near impossible to walk in
12Scary-misogynistic-bondage-burqa. Eeeeek!
13Ok, that is just... as we say in the south... downright odd and ugly.
And ... um... I think the "girl" in the grey is a guy... or she has one HUGE Adam's Apple.
14They must pay the models A LOT for the models to actually agree to doing the show
15What the...
16WTF?
