Quote Me: Liya Kebede Is Willing To Help
“
In times of economic crisis, it is tempting to turn inward, to ignore or postpone the problems of the outside world and focus on ourselves. But, if we hope to thrive once again, we must realize that there are no outside problems in today's interwoven, globalised world.

Proenza Schouler's Pitti Party Comes to Florence
Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough with Raquel Zimmermann
Proenza Schouler designers Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough eschewed the runway for their 2010 pre-collection, instead choosing an avant-garde art installation to show off their latest clothes, shoes and accessories. At Florence's Pitti W, three of the designers' favourite contemporary artists - Kalup Linzy, Haim Steinbach and Kembra Pfahler - helped with the display.
Steinbach was in charge of an accessory installation, which (naturally) also included a metal bed frame, dog toys and plastic onions. Linzy showed two music videas, which featured cameos from Liya Kebede and Chloe Sevigny. Pfahler gathered up go-go girls wearing Proenza, and he (wearing a bustier from the brand and thigh-high boots) sang his heart out with his bottom out. Hernandez couldn't keep a straight face.

Chloe Sevigny, Liya Kebede for Proenza Schouler
When Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez weren't dealing with the media blitz from Kiefer Sutherland's infamous headbutt, apparently they were lining up artsy ways to display their resort collection in Italy. The new Proenza Schouler collection will be exhibited at the Pitti W pre-collection event in Florence on June 18, but instead of a runway, the designers will have three performance artists "interpreting" the looks.
One of the trio, Kalip Linzy, slotted Chloe Sevigny and Liya Kebede to star in a gender-bending video. Hint: it involves mega wigs.

Quote Me: Liya Kebede Sees the Obama Bump
“
I think there’s a lot more black models working and I think that’s because of having Michelle and Barack out there. I mean there’s been this issue, raised last year — how there wasn’t enough black models on the runways — but I think Barack and Michelle have really helped us, hopefully forever, to get over this hurdle for black models.
