Spring is in the air, and with it comes Spring Fashion Week. Major fashion hubs such as Milan, London, New York, and Paris debut the work of top designers in the business for a week of nonstop runway action. This week, Paris Fashion Week 2016 has taken over social media, and with all the glamorous racket that's made each season over the brands, clothes, and celebrities in attendance, it makes you wonder: why are all the runway models in these shows so serious? They're living the dream! They're doing the thing!
Perhaps the answer to this question can be found in the altogether awkward positions they are put in by designers. Maybe being serious is the only way to endure some of fashion's most avant-garde ideas. You can determine why these models have such intense poker face with these top 10 most interesting moments of Paris fashion runways past and present.
Why so serious, models?
1. Sometimes there is just no other way for models to remain composed.
2. Sometimes models are laser-focused on combining two groundbreaking technologies.
3. Sometimes models are tired of being judged by the "stereotypical model anatomy."
4. Sometimes models need their own space to be alone.
5. Sometimes models miss the nostalgia of "Harry Potter" and channel their inner Hedwig.
6. Sometimes models have gone through a lot to be here (i.e. just survived an emu attack and simultaneous non-motorized vehicular trauma).
7. Sometimes models feel like the competition is just heads and shoulders above them.
8. Sometimes models are tired of being used as the runway swiffer after every show.
9. Sometimes models are still salty that this runway show made them miss Sunday brunch.
10. And sometimes no matter how serious they look, they still end up in glorious mere mortal moments.
Hopefully, the mystery of model solemnity has finally been solved, or at least, made a little more clear. Not just any 5'11" Amazonian can maintain such intense composure in such ridiculous situations. Hopefully, this brightens your Fashion Week!
