MEMORABLE MOMENT<\/strong>: My favorite moment this season was shopping in the Chanel Market. It was so nice. We got to stay on the stage for a really long time, like 10-20 minutes during the whole show. Walking around and talking with the other models was a really special moment for me. After the show, I saw on instagram that everyone seemed to really enjoy it.<\/p>\n

Plus I got to take the big Chanel door mat and I also got some dish washer gloves, the ones with the flowers. It was almost like Chanel was a country! The same way they have \u201cmade in China\u201d or \u201cmade in the USA,\u201d everything was \u201cmade in Chanel.\u201d<\/p>\n

MEMORABLE MOMENT<\/strong>: My favorite moment was definitely the Marc by Marc Jacobs show because the outfit was just so nice. The music was from Alice in Wonderland and I\u2019m a fan of Alice in Wonderland. Backstage I had goosebumps because it was so exciting and the runway was so nice as well.<\/p>\n

MEMORABLE MOMENT<\/strong>: I just like my work. For me, it\u2019s so good to see how people create fashion. It\u2019s cool to be inside and not just see from outside. My favorite show from fashion week? I think I have a lot of them. I couldn\u2019t say just one or two. In New York, I really liked Philip Lim and the DKNY show. They had a cool mix of people at DKNY – \u00a0normal people from the street, some musicians, some models. There were so many different people backstage – about 60 of us, that made for an interesting experience.<\/p>\n

\"P1000853\"<\/p>\n

MEMORABLE MOMENT<\/strong>: I think my most memorable moment was opening Phillip Lim. When I went to the fitting, they put \u201clook one\u201d on me. I thought maybe I was trying it on for another girl who wasn’t there yet. Then Philip said, \u201cyou\u2019re going to open.\u201d I thought to myself, ‘What! Me?’ I appreciate it so much. It was my first show ever opening and I’ve loved the Phillip Lim collection forever. It felt amazing and it was one of the moments where I thought, \u2018Wow. Dreams really do come true.’<\/p>\n

\"P1000779\"<\/p>\n

MEMORABLE MOMENT<\/strong>: My favorite moment would be working with Olivier at Balmain.\u00a0I also met Joan Smalls and Jourdan Dunn and they were so humble and so sweet. That\u2019s what\u2019s up – to see such big girls and realize they\u2019re still so humble, sweet and chill.<\/p>\n

MEMORABLE MOMENT<\/strong>: My favorite moment of the past fashion week was the Marc Jacobs show. Backstage I met my favorite blogger, Emily Weiss<\/a>, from Into the Gloss.<\/a> We talked about everything – hair, makeup, clothes. It was really fun because I\u2019ve been following her blog for a while. I was so happy to meet her there, it was amazing!<\/p>\n

\"pauline\"<\/p>\n

MEMORABLE MOMENT<\/strong>: My favorite moment from this fashion week was, of course, the Chanel show because it was amazing. The supermarket was so big and we were not expecting that at all. I had so much fun just shopping around in the aisles.<\/p>\n

I have really great memories from the Prabal Gurung show too. I had an amazing dress and I was so happy to be there – as I’m walking out this guy showed up out of nowhere and streaked down the runway! It was crazy and definitely a moment I won’t ever forget!<\/p>\n

\n<\/small><\/p>\n

\"P1000647\"<\/p>\n

MEMORABLE MOMENT<\/strong>: London was wow for me – I wasn’t expecting it. Working for Julien MacDonald and John Rocha was incredible. Matthew Williamson as well – I actually partied with him. I went to his after party and we had a blast. I thought, ‘Wow I didn\u2019t know you were this fun!’ Going to castings and just sitting there while the designer is checking you out vs. being at a party with them are completely different. It was wild, we jumped on a table!<\/p>\n

\"harleth\"<\/p>\n

MEMORABLE MOMENT<\/strong>: My most memorable moment was probably when I discovered that they were giving me bangs at a YSL fitting! It\u2019s memorable because it’s something I can can see every day – it\u2019s on my head every day.<\/p>\n

Vanessa Moody<\/a><\/strong>
\nHOMETOWN<\/strong>: Vicksburg Mississippi
\nFW14 HIGHLIGHTS<\/strong>: Alexander Wang and Balenciaga (exclusives)

\"P1000586\"<\/p>\n

MEMORABLE MOMENT<\/strong>: My favorite moment this season was, obviously, being able to open exclusive for Alexander Wang. I don\u2019t think I can think of any other way I would have rather had my first fashion week, and I\u2019m very excited to see what next fashion week will be like. I\u2019m from North Dallas Texas, and I started modeling there about a year ago. I am still so new to everything and I\u2019m so happy and excited with the direction things are taking. I can\u2019t wait to see what happens next!<\/p>\n

\"kia\"<\/p>\n

MEMORABLE MOMENT<\/strong>: My most memorable moment was probably straight after doing the Calvin Klein show. I did it with one of my friends, Jessica, and it was one of our first big \u201comg\u201d moments. As soon as it was over, we couldn\u2019t believe that we both walked it. We stepped outside and into this huge blizzard – it was probably the grossest day I\u2019d ever seen. So cold, so windy, so everything!<\/p>\n

We were walking together to back the agency and \u00a0every three seconds something would happen. Our umbrella would flip the other way, and we\u2019d think \u201cIt\u2019s okay…we just walked Calvin Klein.\u201d Then our eyes would be watering but we\u2019d think, \u201cIt\u2019s okay.. we just walked Calvin Klein.\u201d We were crossing the road and there was this gigantic puddle. There was no way we could get around it and taxis were beeping at us, but we didn\u2019t care what happened because walking that show was such a special moment. Despite the craziness, it was definitely an awesome time.<\/p>\n
