Style site Fashionista has just released a list of the appearance fees that various celebs charge for attending catwalk shows during fashion week - bit depressing really, especially since the majority of them can't even be bothered to muster up a smile or take off their shades. Still, most of them do have to go around dressed up like a tit for the week, so perhaps it is their due...
it's nice to know that Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan do it for the goodie bag alone (if they can even make it passed the clipboard)...

- Beyonce ($80,000-$100,000)

- Maggie Gyllanhaal ($60,000)
- Chloe Sevigny ($60,000 or more)

shit, new york fashion week. does that mean loads more pictures of peaches geldof?
There are too many fashonistas and socialites in New York for anyone to care about some Geldof brat. Most Americans don't even know or remember who Bob Geldof is, much less Peaches.I think last year the only show she showed up to was some show that wasn't good enough to get in the tents. It was the equivalent to an off Braodway show. And the only paper to report on her "appearance" were 1 or 2 UK papers.
$100,000 to sit and look at some clothes for an hour? Oh. My. Days. I am in the wrong fucking career.
...and there is the essential difference between men and women. Tesco says she'll do it to look at clothes on the catwalk, I would do it to look at the women on the catwalk.
Well, the difference between hetero women & gay men and hetero men & lesbians.
Or the difference between people who like human beings, and people who want to shag a bag of bones.
Hang on, you've confused me now. No wait, I think I get it. No, sorry, hopelessly lost, but definitely agree with you regarding bones. Curves definitely required.
It'd be nice to try both and see which one I preferred
Though I can't speak for shagging bony girls, I can say that I went out with a very skinny boy for awhile. I ended up with all manner of bruises from his sharp pointy bones, all jutting out. It was like shagging a bag of sticks.
Get Johnny Borrell in there - he'd do it for a small pencil and a packet of pork scratchings. Mind you, the alignment of this malign gobshite with your brand would guarrantee it going down the tubes within a week, hence the phrase 'Pay Peanuts - Get a fucking twat with an Aslan fixation'
What a load of bollocks - this just reinforces my views that fashion designers are the biggest load of sodding charlatans and cheats that ever walked the earth. The news that the supposedly iconic fashionistas in the front row are merely moneygrabbing freeloaders does not exactly surprise me but the amount of cash offered certainly does. Pretty much everything seen on a catwalk is totally unwearable and to charge the amount that they do for some of that crap is tantamount to daylight fucking robbery.
It's the emperors new clothes I tells ya !
Zoolander had it right, certain designers could take a shit, wrap it in tin foil, stick fish hooks in it and sell it as earrings and silly cunts like Hilton, Beckham, etc would still pay thousands of pounds for the chance to wear them.
That fucking list of nobodies up there looks like a wishlist to send to Carlos the Jackal
agree with slug. I mean they get that sort of money but in reality they probably spend 3 times as much on those stupid coutour things while they are there watching it. And why do they think the fashionistas need to be paid, even if not they would still probably turn up because New York Fashion week is uber cool and to be photograhed there is uber so since being wannabee uber why wouldnt they turn up there anyway? They invite Paris and such friends because they know they have money and loads of it and since being shopping addicts/fashionistas they will be buying those overpriced k-mart dresses anyway. The fashion world are the type to not invite you if they find out you may not have much money now hence lohan.
Fuck me. I hate these shit celebs - they even grab at $$$$$ for dropping product names on Twitter. Don't they make enough already?
