Dangerous Footwear: Models Fall at Prada Show

Well, I guess I wasn’t the only one who could not concentrate on the Prada Spring 2009 show because of the intense fear that the models would permanently injure themselves. Many critics cited the extreme footwear as a “giant distraction from the clothes.” Two models actually fell on the runway and many more stumbled. According to Prada, the hazardous shoes would slippery because the models wore them with socks. Just because of the socks?

One of the models says to Telegraph newspaper, “I was having a panic attack, my hands were shaking. The heels were so high. Some of the girls were crying backstage they were so scared.” Poor models!

But a big applause goes to all of them, especially the ones that fell and then got back on their feet with their heads held high. Below is a short video of one of the girls falling.
