AceShowbiz - Masion Margiela flaunted its Spring/Summer 2020 at the Paris Fashion Week show on Wednesday, September 25 and one model managed to set tongue wagging on and offline. Model Leon Dome stole the show as he walked the runway in a rather funny and bizarre way.
Donning a belted leather coat, a nautical neck scarf, black knee-high boots and a structured cadet hat from creative director John Galliano's collection, the 20-year-old German model broke the catwalk tradition. Instead of stoic walk, Lome opted for an aggressive, stomping gait that made him look like he was upset about something.
It appears that Galliano deliberately hired Dome for his Maison Margiela show, in which most designs seemingly were inspired by World War I and II, to present a response to what he felt was apathy. He believed that we're no longer moved by a history that might be repeating itself.
Among those who were impressed by Dome's unique was Anna Wintour who sat front row during the show. In some videos shared by fashion influencer Aimee Song, the Vogue editor-in-chief was seen giggling at Dome's bizarre runway walk. "Anna approves," Song captioned the videos.
Actress January Jones also posted the meme-able moment on her Instagram account. "How I walk out of a room when someone says I can't do something.. @maisonmargiela@thelovemagazine," she wrote in the caption. "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" Lisa Rinna also shared the video, writing "Clearly my spirit animal."
This is not the first time for Dome to flaunt his brooding speed walk on the runway. He captured people's attention while walking for Maison Margiela's Fall/Winter 2019 show. The Berlin-based student and saxophonist made his catwalk debut in 2016. He has walked several other big brands including Alexander McQueen, Burberry, Gucci and Valentino.
