3 Models fall down during Annah Stretton Spring/Summer 2009 fashion show

No less than three models fell down (and a fourth one seriously tripped) during the Annah Stretton's Spring/Summer 2009 fashion show "Compliments for Fish", held during New Zealand Fashion Week (NZFW) on 18 September 2008. The problem was not the 5-inch height of the Mi Piaci platform slingbacks but a combination of factors : nine of the models were wearing shoes that were too large for them, and footless tights pulled over the back of the models' heels made walking an even more slippery business ; the model changes throughout the show were so tight that the dressers failed to fasten the buckles of some of the slingbacks tightly enough. Add to that the shiny chrysanthemum motifs on the runway and it was a recipe for disaster. Video includes slow motions of each fall.
