Posted by Models And Moguls
Yesterday, celebrity Amber Rose fans such as Russell Simmons and Jojo came down to the Ukrainian Institute of America to see her walk in her first runway show for Celestino.
The Cut’s Amy Odell gives her take on Amber as a model
A few of her colleagues seemed to struggle with the sky-high heels, and she was no exception, sadly (either that or her dress was too tight). She kept a poker face, with her shoulders back, but appeared to be taking short, stilted steps. Luckily, she didn’t trip on her hemline, so for that we chalk it up as runway success.
According to designer Sergio Guadarrama, Amber was cast partly for her “real-woman figure”.
“We requested her specifically,” says Sergio Gaudarrama. “I mean, we had the choice of big models, but we wanted Amber Rose. I mean, she’s Amber Rose, so she was going to close our show no matter what.”
When asked whether the fashion industry is ready to accept Amber Rose as she is, Gaudarrama replied:
“Well, they should; she’s a person…Oh my God she’s so sweet — like the sweetest girl you have ever met.”
