Photographer: Paola Kudacki

Models: Hana Soukupova and Tanya Dziahileva

Most models could look good in a paper bag, but model Hana Soukupova looked completely ridiculous at the 2009 Whitney Art Party. Soukupova might have been in New York, but her head was definitely in Hawaii. I hate to break it to you, but try as you might, you can’t make a hula outfit work unless it’s Halloween or you’re at a luau. 

Thanks Fashionologie!

Before realizing how adorable photographer Arthur Elgort’s spread, “The Wedding Party,” for Vogue’s June 2009 issue is, I prematurely threw up in my mouth at the fact that Sasha Pivovarova was actually married and that her husband, artist Igor Vishnyakov, looks like he could be her father. Rebecca, a native Russian herself, thoughtfully pointed out that no, Vishnyakov wasn’t old, he was just Russian (hmm, i guess Russian men just look older?). Ok, Vishnyakov isn’t exactly a spring chicken at 41 years old, but that’s besides the point…sort of…since he actually is old enough to be the model’s father. But hey, a man that flexible is a youngin’ in my books! 

“The Wedding Party” is a charming reenactment of Pivovarova and Vishnyakov’s wedding, complete with a gorgeous Lanvin wedding dress and fellow models, Jessica Stam, Irina Kulikova and Hana Soukupova as the bridesmaids. Though the spread hits a soft-spot in my heart, I’m a little resentful that Sasha is just another thief, stealing my socks and stilettos look. Grr.

Thanks IMG!
