Stephanie Seymour

We’re sure that when cavemen banged out rhythms on old animal skulls, all the most gorgeous cave girls immediately came running. While musicians have never had a hard time picking up women, it’s safe to say MTV made it easier for them. The era of the model/musician relationship bloomed during the MTV era–models and musicians were frequently thrown together during video shoots, which was a job that hadn’t existed for models before.

MTV just turned 30, and to honor the music channel which helped to give musicians faces and personalities, here’s our roundup of the 30 best (and strangest) model/musician pairings through the years.

Maria Shriver is going through hell this week. But somehow, even as news of her soon-to-be-ex-husband Arnold Schwarzenegger’s affair and love child with one of their staffers broke, she managed to put on a brave face, sexy blue sequined dress and inject some serious volume into her hair for an appearance at her buddy Oprah’s celeb-filled farewell spectacular in Chicago yesterday.

It’s hard to imagine how she pulled it together for such a public appearance amidst the media onslaught about the torrid demise of her marriage. But here are some women–politicians’ wives and celebrities alike, who probably can imagine what Shriver is going through. They all weathered incredibly messy and public splits and through it all they held their heads high and managed to look fantastic. Take a look:

We met Peter and Harry Brant, the sons of supermodel Stephanie Seymour, at the second Miu Miu Musing a couple weeks ago. While Peter Brant II might be better known at the moment for photos snapped of him and his supermodel mom being super-affectionate on the beach at St. Barth’s that sent the internet into a frenzy (Brant subsequently eloquently defended the photos in a statement to Gawker)–after watching Peter and his little brother Harry essentially upstage larger-than-life Andre Leon Talley that night, we knew these boys were destined for fashion greatness. Like, they’re gonna be huge.

They also happen to know their stuff when it comes to fashion. Having family friends like Azzedine Alaïa and and Naomi Campbell around will do that do a person. “When we were little we used to spend hours sifting through our mother’s dressing room and various designer’s ateliers,” Harry told us.

So we asked them to send in dispatches from their experiences at New York Fashion Week. Peter, 17, reflects on what it’s like to sit in the front row (and what happened when someone stole his seat at Alexander Wang). Harry, 15, hilariously recounts his failed efforts to make it to Marc Jacobs on time.

Enjoy.
