Before we jump to the funny part, let me take a moment to cheer for the winners and honorees of the night: fashion royalty Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld graced the stage to receive respectively the Fashion Icon Award and the Magazine of the Year Award (CR Fashion Book), while Eva Chow was crowned as Fashion Innovator. 

A night to remember also for stylist/designer Brandon Maxwell, who took home the Designer of the Year Award (Is he going to repeat the experience at the upcoming 2016 CFDA?), and the unstoppable Lady Gaga, who was awarded Editor of the Year thanks to her remarkable work with V Magazine's pre-spring issue. 

The last highlight of the night? 

Bella Hadid defeating her own sister, Gigi Hadid, for the Model Of The Year prize.

As I stated before, the good news stop here, because the red carpet was a total snooze fest...except for Nicole Richie, who brought some glam in Valentino, Kate Hudson and her two-pieces by August Getty Atelier, Jennifer Lopez, a chic vision in Ermanno Scervino, and yes, Mrs Kim Kardashian West, who happens to be on my best dressed list when she goes for a more minimalistic and classy attire.

Therefore let's have a look at the worst looks of the night:

"I am more famous than my sister" 

Gigi Hadid in Yanina Couture Fall 2015

Let me get the picture for you: it's your little sister big night, and you decide to support her by attending the special event...what would you be wearing?
Something simple and not too eye-catching?
Well, that's Gigi Hadid's pick for the night: a sheer caftan and a questionable bodysuit. Over-the-top? Yes, but coherent with her latest red carpet appereances: sexy, messy and pointless.
However a floor-length slip and a different hairstyle could have upgraded the final effect. Do you agree?

"Smoking-hot. Literally" 

Bella Hadid in Moschino Fall 2016

At first glance you might think that Gigi burned Bella's dress out of spite for not winning the model of the year award, but unfortunately that is a lie.
The Hadid sisters love each other (and I hope each other outfits at this point), therefore what you see is 1) a conscious choice made by Bella Hadid and 2) a design by Jeremy Scott for Moschino.
A classic beautiful look...until you look at the hem.

"Gaga oh-la-la!" 

Lady Gaga in Saint Laurent Fall 2016

That awkward moment when your stylist is awarded as designer of the year (Brandon Maxwell), and for his big night decides to dress you with an hideous creation from another designer.

Don't judge me by the cover - Forgive the photo I chose. I will explain everything. I'm not the kind of person who writes click baiting articles, using the names of Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid. I let Vogue do that.

Castings, what are those? - I really wanted to review the Fall Winter 2016 Ready-To-Wear Balmain show. I have watched the video of the show and all the photos from the runway very carefully. My opinion? Olivier Rousteing failed once again in designing an original collection. He has rather concentrated himelf on putting in the show models with a high amount of Instagram followers or models which he is friend with. Often those two things coincide. I wonder why... 

The review - The collection presented once again all the favourite leitmotivs of the brand: waist-cinching minidresses, tight trousers, over-the-top embellishments and thigh-high boots. However this time Balmain went for a lighter color palette, showcasing total looks in pastel blue, pink and camel. Some of the designs were clearly a statement-making take on boudoir pieces from the 18th-Century, like the mini crinoline skirts (nice but not very comfortable), and the present time, with those sheer lace pants and tops trimmed with ruffles.
As I was watching the models walking down the ruway, I constantly had this image in my mind: Olivier Rousteing asking himself "would Kim Kardashian wear this?" while he was designing the clothing. I think that this was the real inspiration behind the pieces.
The styling was horrendous: bad contouring and tacky wigs. Definitely not the best Rosie Huntington-Whiteley or Lily Donaldson have ever looked. Most of all, I belive that such a messy styling took attention away from the looks. But maybe this is exactly what Olivier Rousteing wanted to get...

You see, you can trust me. I'm not click baiting: I've mentioned Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid only once so far. Well, now I made it twice. And I also mentioned Kim Kardashian. I think I'm ready to send my curriculum vitae to Anna Wintour.

Maybe I'm just a hater - I too often find myself writing articles about how Olivier Rousteing cares more about popularity than fashion. Maybe I'm just a hater. But at least I'm not presumptuous. I don't think I am the owner of the truth. So I looked for the reviews of journalists who know fashion better than I do and write for prestigious magazines.

The verdict - What does the fashion world think about the Balmain Fall Winter 2016 Ready-To-Wear fashion show? I collected some of the most popular articles and social posts about it. 

Twitter

Websites - I'll post only three photos, because by now I know everything about the Balmain fashon show.

Mobility is the main feature of these days: we are always connected; thanks to social media, we can see what our friends, our colleagues or our schoolmates are doing - whenever and wherever.

Obviously, we share only our best moments on Facebook &co; the result: a daily hype of optimism and enthusiasm, which has a deep impact on the perception of ourselves and our lives. Have you ever thought: my life sucks, while scrolling someone’s Instagram?
That’s exactly the FOMO, the Fear of Missing Out, the anxiety to be social, to get likes and to show the best side of you.

Of course this idyllic image is completely fake, and it could happen that when you get tired of being fake, you decide to quit social media: it is the case of Essena O’Neill - the Australian model who broke free of her addiction to likes and comments by her followers.
(For the record, her action were too dramatic and she kept her Instagram up with edited captions, yes, but still: she’s accumulating followers. Was the “social media rehab” fake too? Draw your own conclusion).

When it comes to models and fashion industry, the pair being social and money is directly proportional. Casting directors will ask for models or influencer with a huge amount of followers to reach their audience, whether actual or not. And to get the best, you have to pay a lot: the three most highly ranked supers on social - Cara Delevingne, Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid - are currently valued between $125,000 and $300,000 for a single post across their portfolio: they earn more per post than their normal day rate!

Posting pictures of their every day lives, they monetize their images and create a personal digital brand: the more followers a model has, the more they can be appealing to the fashion industry, which can use their social profiles as advertising channels. For this new breed of models, the fact of being social is sufficient to be considered talented: imagine what Kendall Jenner - with a followership of about 65 million - is capable of!

Look beyond the screen: people who lead really exciting and amusing lives would probably not spend time sharing it on social medias.
