Tyra Banks…Personal reason. Only one I’d physically ask for an autograph from. I’d LOVE to get a moment to speak to certain other models tho.

I sat across the aisle from Christy Turlington at the US Open when I was about 10…
I basically ignored the tennis and gaped at her for most of the match. During a break I summoned up the courage to go ask her for her autograph (I mean as a kid, that’s what you think you are supposed to do when you see someone famous). Get ready to cringe…
…all I had with me was a copy of seventeen magazine (which she was not on the cover of), so I asked her to sign that! ugh… it still makes me feel a bit ill to think about it.

Ali Michael? Do I really have to make a fuss for her?

I came face to face with Kate Moss at a Kills show last year, was stunned silent. She sat at a booth ten feet away from me with both Jamie and Alison (the Kills), and I tried to send a round of drinks over to them but when I went to speak to the bartender I couldn’t get words out. Tres embarassing. But I’ll never, ever forget it.

same thing happened to me last season at nyfw, rickeyg303.
i would definitely ask for a photo rather than an autograph.
that goes for any sortof “celebrity”.

I was walking in Chelsea once, on the way back from an internship interview, when I caught sight of Coco Rocha, who was about to walk past me. I did a double-take since I wasn’t sure it was her at first, but when I realized it was, she looked my way, and I looked away and tried to play it cool even though I was totally “OMG!” inside.
I pretty much did the same thing when I saw Aggy in St. Mark’s a few months later, except it was super quick so I didn’t even bother to hide the fact that I recognized her.

i stood behind coco rocha for at least ten minutes trying to work up the guts to tap her on the shoulder and say hi and tell her how much i love her……… but before I could she walked away and I was sad for the rest of fashion week.

Actually, funny thing, I was at Angelika Kitchen and Ali Michaels was sitting right in front of me. Some old dude started a conversation with her and I joined in at times when she said she was looking for someone to rent her apartment.

i would definitely take a picture and risk looking like an ogre next to a model!

I saw Gemma Ward once and I totally asked for a picture! She tried to downplay herself and thought I had mistaken her for someone else but once she knew I was a fashion student she took a picture with me!

Depending on the meeting circumstance (when, where, how, ect), ask for a photo!

I simply gape and hope that they notice that I’m watching and smile back at me or some other kind of acknowledgment. I usually just try and take pictures of them when they’re not looking because I’m too shy/afraid to say anything to them…
