If their capacity seems ridiculous, mini bags, very trendy in recent years, have the advantage of not unbalancing the silhouette, unlike maxi shopping bags, which are well suited to stealing the show. To prove it, the Marc Jacobs brand published a promotional video of its new bag (the XL Sack Bag) on its Instagram account on October 10, 2023, which hurts just to look at it.
This model perched on 6-inch heels falls down the stairs for a new bag
The clip quickly went viral because we see a model, with a large shopping bag under her arm, perched on vertiginous boots (the Kiki, which have become emblematic of the brand for their 15.2 cm heel) lose her balance in front of a flock of steps, and crashing there… before easily getting back up as if nothing had happened.
And no, these aren’t even AI-generated images in the service of fashion, but of a real human being. In the comments of the Instagram publication which has more than 7 million views in a week, we can read several people worried about the model’s health, and others joking about her compensation for agreeing to participate in such a stunt.
In reality it is a professional stuntwoman: Tereza Kubova. On her personal Instagram account you can see her performing more or less dangerous and impressive stunts. So becoming a victim of fashion must not have been rocket science for her. The hardest part was perhaps even walking in those high heels!
Why can we be fascinated by people who fall?
Once we have overcome the amazement, we can also ask ourselves about the attraction-repulsion that this kind of video full of zapping and end-of-year television best-ofs arouses, when the channels no longer know what to present but still want to have our brain time available. Even in fashion, when a model falls during a show, it attracts attention, impresses the retina and can lead to unforgettable fashion moments, such as when Naomi Campbell fell on Vivienne Westwood’s autumn-winter 1993-1994 catwalk, immediately making the shoes that he had worn. they wore cult items (the Super Elevated Gillie, now exhibited in museums around the world).
Visual impulse, fascination for the worst, guilty pleasure in seeing human beings suffer, or simple amazement when faced with a violent scene? In any case, compilations of models falling on the catwalks accumulate millions of views on video platforms like YouTube: from there to feeling an aftertaste of misogyny, there is only one (false) step.
