American Vogue’s Forces of Fashion event, taking place on October 16, is dedicated to the art, drama and influence of the runway. In honuor of that, we asked industry friends to share their favourite runway-crashing stories, some shared their own, others shared tales of legendary crashes they witnessed.
However, I have gone to great, technically above-board lengths to make things happen, including in October 2010 when I used a photographer’s pass to walk into the Céline spring/summer 2011 runway show at the Tennis Club de Paris. I even sat in the pit, on the floor. It was such an amazing vantage point – a better seat than I had in future seasons, when I was actually invited. Luckily, no one said anything, and I was able to swipe one of the inspiration books from the seats .
