Celebrity Vintage Spot - Natalia Vodianova

Here is another celebrity vintage spot that I am behind on posting.
Natalia Vodianova wore this spectacular Fortuny to the 2009 British Fashion Awards.
Natalia is know for having quite the collection of Fortuny's. I posted about this one that met a more disastrous end.

Funny story - that post was tagged by some big new agency and sat atop their main story broad for months and I was flooded by people leaving the NASTIEST comments about children dying and people suffering and how dare I post that this was a tragedy when there where so many more important things in life. True btw but Holy get a life people right back.

This is a fashion blog
I am supposed to be shallow
like Duh

Anyway, no mishaps to this gorgeous blue off shoulder version, so I might be safe this time from all the people lined up to put me firmly in my place.

(tough job that and long line too - hope you brought snacks)

BREAKING TRAGIC NEWS

This is the face of complete and utter tragedy. Style.com posted this shot of poor little Natalia's face after someone stepped and ripped her vintage Fortuny during the after party at The Bungalow. My heart goes out to her. Not only is a Fortuny one of the rarest, most beautiful vintage pieces there is to find, but it was a gift from her husband. Natalia, we all weep a little with you and hope beyond hope you can somehow salvage it. Personally I would be calling the New York Fashion Museum and begging their resoration team to assist!

Here is a better picture of Natalia in her Fortuny from earlier in the evening
