The New York Observer’s Meredith Bryan has an interesting lead in to her story on a Fashion Week show held at Cipriani Friday night.

Maybe it was the rain, which had soaked through coats and leather boots, causing a vaguely earthy smell to permeate the packed bleachers at Cipriani 42nd Street; or perhaps it was bronzed, shiny supermodel Gisele Bundchen, who—exhausted from sucking all the life essence from New England Patriot Tom Brady?—didn’t walk the runway, but took a seat beside actress Julianne Moore just before the lights went down;

or maybe it was just that it was Friday night, and there was a bar. Whatever the reason, Rag & Bone’s post-Abercrombie parade of co-ed military-inspired looks, many veering towards English boarding school, many featuring black thigh-highs or leggings in lieu of pants, felt sexier than your average fashion show.

That’s one possible explanation for the crazy upset that happened yesterday. But we have to wonder if letting Gisele Bundchen suck out all your life essence isn’t preferable to a Super Bowl ring. We feel you, Tom.
