Fashion Is Fun

Drugs, Fame, Fortune, Oh My!

Here’s the second episode of VogueTV’s Model Live.

It tracks Cato’s last days at home in Holland before taking off for New York Fashion week (though we’re betting that’s not really her plane in the sky since we still have a couple of weeks).

Cato’s parents express a natural anxiety about fame and fashion. They acknowledge that yes, their daughter is beautiful and “magical” in front of the camera and pointedly note that a successful modeling career won’t degrade her intellectual qualities. In fact, Cato’s little sister says, “They say that beautiful people are smarter because everything’s symmetrical -even the brain!”

We meet Cato’s boyfriend Simon, too. His standout moment comes when he’s trying to convince himself, and us, that he has nothing to worry about and says, “What happens in the fashion industry? Drugs!”

Simon, relax. Cato, we’ll see you backstage.

Not trying to be a hater, I have quite a few model friends and family, but her boyfriend does realize that almost all the families and friends of models who OD'ed or committed suicide also said that they'd never do drugs, right? I'm not even going to get into her sister's comment about models being smarter.
