Charlotte Dawson was a Marc Jacobs muse?
Well, for fifteen minutes at least. Here is a series of screen caps from an episode of Andy Warhol's 1980s MTV series Fifteen Minutes, filmed in January 1987 and which features the former Ford New York model, now Australia's Next Top Model judge, modelling one of Jacobs' earliest collections. The underwear-as-outwear-themed collection includes the Freudian Slip Dress, emblazoned with a Sigmund Freud caricature. Dawson was one of three models cast for the show. Twenty three year-old Jacobs conducts the interview astride a ladder. And if you find the photo shoot antics of the ANTM contestants amusing, Dawson and co are required to climb the ladder after him. It's one of three episodes of the MTV series that will be screened by the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) next week under the umbrella title Marc Jacobs' New York, as part of ACMI's week-long Marc Jacobs on Film festival during Melbourne Spring Fashion Week.
Yes, that's right, an entire week of films - six in total - dedicated to Jacobs' work.
Frockwriter buddy Bryanboy, in whose honour the ostrich skin 'BB' bag from Jacobs' FW0809 collection was named, has been flown down by ACMI to open the festival on Saturday night.

God I hope Michael 'tresemme' Finch does not see this blog post it will only encourage him. The hair is bad. As was the dress Michael designed for Shelley Horton for the Project Runway finale last week.
HAHAHAHA. Oh Charlotte look how expensive you look!
Hmmmm, who does that boy on the ladder remind you of
give you a hint, has long hair, works in beauty ......
I feel like I'm having flashbacks.
