10 times we cracked a smile at Fashion Week (imagine)


Fashion Month has come to a close, and while some of it has been terribly serious and about work, there have been many moments that have entertained, amused and made us cringe with intensity. 
Allow us to take you through the funnies, the weirdness and the outright ridiculous:
THOMAS TAIT'S EYELASHES

Our Halloween beauty look is officially sorted.
RICK OWENS'S HUMAN BACKBACKS
              10 times we cracked a smile at Fashion Week (imagine)
Last season Rick Owens put penises on the catwalk, this time round he used humans as backpacks. Yes models hit the catwalk wearing humans on the backs and fronts. Owens claimed it was a feminist statement "about nourishment, sisterhood/motherhood and regeneration; women raising women, women becoming women, and women supporting women".
CANDICE SWANEPOEL'S GIVENCHY TUMBLE
                       10 times we cracked a smile at Fashion Week (imagine)
We know it's too particularly mature or kind to titter at someone falling over, but Candice Swanepoel was not injured during her Givenchy tumble and handled the very public incident with good grace. The Victoria's Secret model fell flat on her face, but rose like a phoenix from the ashes and carried on walking.
WHEN COURTNEY LOVE PERFORMED WITH ROBOTS

Of course she did. Philipp Plein's Milan show involved models walking down an conveyor belt, while being handed sunglasses and bags from robot arms. Courtney Love was hired as the musical guest, opening the show with Celebrity Skin as she was pulled through a set of PP-stamped, spaceship-like doors and down the mechanical catwalk in a pair of ripped jeans.
Moschino is feeling very cautious when it comes to next summer - hard hats being its headwear of choice. They also served as great selfie props for the fashion pack when they were sent out as invites.

ANYA HINDMARCH'S BOOTS BOOTS
                         10 times we cracked a smile at Fashion Week (imagine)
Anya Hindmarch celebrated the great British high street by covering her accessories with the names of brands such Mothercare, John Lewis and Boots. There's no logo this designer won't touch.   
THE TIME THAT A HORSE RODE ROUND CLARIDGE'S
                     10 times we cracked a smile at Fashion Week (imagine)
How to wake up a group of fashion editors on Sunday morning? Send two ponies to trot round Claridge's. At least that's the tact Emma Hill went for when she launched her solo accessories label Hill & Friends.
HE MODEL WHO WAS ASKED TO SIT IN A WASHING MACHINE
                 10 times we cracked a smile at Fashion Week (imagine)
The worst gig of London Fashion Week had to go to the poor soul who was made to sit in a washing machine as part of Sophia Webster's underwater laundromat. Let's hope she was paid handsomely.
NORTH WEST LOOKING BORED WITLESS ON KANYE'S FROW
                         10 times we cracked a smile at Fashion Week (imagine)
Not even a rare warm smile from Anna Wintour was enough to impress North West at her dad's show during New York Fashion Week. Wearing a head-to-toe camel ensemble (to match her mum's outfit), young North dabbled between looking bored witless and wriggling frantically (perhaps a bid for freedom away from the horrors of her dad's collection). Never change North, never change.
FASHION BLOGGER SHEA MARIE'S MARILYN MOMENT
                     
Picture the scene - there you are about to attend one of fashion's most prestigious shows (Christian Dior). You've spent ages deciding what to wear. You have come armed with your fashion BFF (Caroline Vreeland). Everything is as it should be. Then, as you walk up the arrivals path, a gust of wind blows your shirt dress up in front of photographers and surrounding onlookers. But instead of weeping, you smile and look upwards, thereby creating the perfect Marilyn moment because you, my friend, are a pro.
