Leah de Wavrin talks about her experience at Hussein Chalayan Spring-Summer/2007 show in Paris [posted]: What was it like to open and close the Hussein Chalayan show... nude? "It was really cool!" She told us. "They asked me at the casting to do it - they said, Leah, you are the youngest girl, you are the bravest girl, can you do this? And I love Hussein and so I said, sure, why not? But then on the day of the show, I got so nervous! And you know, they put the crazy hat on me for rehearsal, and I thought, oh no, I cannot do this. But everyone backstage started screaming my name and the dressers just pushed me out there, and I thought, okay, well, here I go! And Carine Roitfeld stood up and started cheering, and I felt great. It was pure, it was beautiful, I'm glad I did it." But what did her mother say? "Oh, she told me never to do anything like that again!" [ via fashionista ]
