Lindsey Wixson, 17-year-old supermodel, is no stranger to falling at fashion shows. Well, Wixson repeated her trip down the runway (see you next fall) at Friday’s Versace show. Falling is never fun, unless you’re an extreme sports fanatic or a fashion blogger — and then it’s awesome.
Lindsey Wixson took a tumble at Versace’s Spring 2012 show in Milan on Friday. Wixson later tweeted, “Sprained ankle :(“.
Ouch. Walking the Versace show would be a career high for any young model. Our source, who was speaking after one unfortunate model tripped on her dress during the Amanda Wakeley show in London this week, admitted that falling on the catwalk can be career-threatening.
'It's quite common for girls to be quietly dropped by their agents after tripping or falling during a show,' they told MailOnline.
The source admitted that the more well-known models were less likely to be affected: 'If the model has an existing profile and clientele then she will probably survive a few stumbles - look at Naomi Campbell.'
