I had to laugh out loud when I saw this picture courtesy of Pierre Debuscherre. Front row of poised Isabelle Aout, studio director of Martin Margiela working the ripped jeans fantastically, Jean Paul Gaultier chatting away, Lucas Ossendrijver and his elongated frame and an overall epitome of top notch menswear dressing me thinks… and me staring up into…. I don’t know what….
Oh the cringe, the cringe…
Thanks Pierre for capturing that thought in my head which was saying ‘Err…. what is going on dude?’

Aw, you’re cute!
1 seat away from Jean Paul Gaultier??!! You are a lucky woman ^_^ Did you talk to him at all?
I wonder if that ripped jeans thing will ‘catch on’ as a trend. I know people who’ve been doing it for decades, ahead of the curve, behind the curve, outside the curve, but if it’s ‘in,’ I bet they’ll drop it.
On the plus side though, you’re tights are fantastic!
Where are they from?
HAHAHA i think at the point you were “HUH?” personified. cute.
You fit perfectly in there! π
maybe you’re in your thought bubble! very fitting for the blog ethos
Now THIS is a stylish front row.
wow susie! right up front at the end of the runway… how exciting! too bad there was no martin margiela himself…[hear he’s quite camera shy..] what show was this?
oh– not to mention, sitting next to Lucas Ossendrijver is pretty dope… interesting chat?
You look all dreamy and wistful, its lovely. Isabelle Aout looks fantastic in the jeans!
Cute and funny picture π and I agree on the thights. Everyone in black huh, was that on purpose or a coincidence?
I saw Agyness Deyn getting a fugging for those same jeans on Go Fug Yourself today, but they’re still rather cool, methinks.
Re: the photograph, you actually look quite cute in a ‘huh?’ moment, unlike most people π
haha, i was like…”is that susie?!”
and i love your helmut newton shot! will you blog about what it’s like? are there tonnes of clothes to chose from, or is it mostly just your own clothes + camera fun?
PS: I must say, Ms Aout’s jacket looks amazing. I’m always an admirer of a sharp jacket..
How funny!!!!!
Totally awesome. I like the very candid and “captured moment” of the shot…since it is exactly that. Ha!
Susie!!!
You need to see the pictures of “Fashion Rio”, the fashion week of Rio de Janeiro at Brazil.The Designers are wonderful. You really need see.

He he – read, look wistful and delightful!
He he – read, look wistful and delightful!
hahah! susie you lostie!
were you staring at a really cool ceiling display or something?
I agree with Helen, your tights are awesome.
I know most folks have that “do I belong here” moment a few times in their lives, at least. Luckily you have all your readers to chime in and remind you how awesome you are.
Everyone’s worried that they look odd too. Don’t sweat it!
Have fun.
Luv
Poochie
They’re by Basso & Brooke and they’re leggings…. I haven’t a clue what I was staring at….I look like such a loon, it’s unbelievable!
I love Lucas Ossendrijver’s ensemble!
It would feel all so surreal from a fashion outsider like me to be in close proximity to these wonderful people.
Thanks for sharing, Susie! π
I put this image on my blog, but i credited your site and the photographer. I just love Isabelle Aout, and let me tell you a picture of her is harder to find than ANYTHING on the internet, well besides any CDG fashion show pictures before like 95. Anyways, I hope I did you justice in the comment, and let me tell you, you have quite the following in LA.
