Models Have Moves
Here's Karen Elson, Raquel Zimmerman and some Amish hos hawking fancy clothes while showing off the moves they learned at The Velma Dinkley Dance School. I just....
So this is the reason why that whenever I'm about to bust into any kind of dance move, a sign flashes in front of my eyeballs that reads: "WARNING: Are you currently 'don't give a fuck' tanked? If not, proceed with caution."

I have a lanvin pair of ballet flats. They're soft as effin butter. They make me feel like dancing too. Love the black coat with roses, but they stole that shit from Anthropologie. Fashion supposed to travel down....not up.
the hell is larry bud melvin doing in that video?

Couldn't take my eyes off that clip :)
...Amish hos...
I will laugh all day at this!!
it's not the worse dance moves i've seen...i'm actually amazed the models can move at all...this is a win...

Tall people can't dance for shit.
In related news, Lindsay Lohan is suing Pitbull and Lanvin, claiming that they're creating confusion among customers between the Lohan and Lanvin luxury brands. She's asking for $30 million in damages or "some free swag."
If their boy-bodies weren't erotic enough, these hos are busting the best model moves I have seen since the Addicted to Love video:

I would absolutely fork over some extra $$ to download some Ellson-Zimmerman/Amish dudes/Elbaz characters wearing Lanvin into my Dance Central game.
Some people have no rhythm. They just can't stay on beat with the music. I don't think it's something you can learn, either.

I like living this way. I like loving this way.
Yes, model dancing looks different than real dancing and the men are women. Amish looking fake men. OK...terrific.
ITA I love Karen Elson. Did you guys hear that she will be collaborating with Nine West and designing shoes and purses? The Stuff will have a Victorian look or whatever. I love her style so it'll probably be cool.
Damn! Tyra WAS telling the truth when she said that models can't necessarily dance, they just fake it so the camera catches something that passes for a dance move.
Before I clicked I thought (naively) that they would at least move well but it was hilarious nevertheless and maybe that was the point.
I love the Hell out of Karen Elson too. She's really getting into her little moves. Too precious.

If love had a dick I would eff with it. But it doesn't (it has a no crotch like Barbie).
White girls do that, white girls do this, whites can't dance. Anything else?!

Add a drunken 'wooooooooo' and this is every white girl in the club.

LOL @ ewe!!!
I am embarrassed for them.
Lanvin is played out.
I want Karen Elson's hair color.
It reminds me of when I was an amish dude on Hot in Cleveland
At least the guys are doing it with some irony and humor, whereas Karen Elson mistakenly thinks she's the shit. She is truly an awful human... vain, rude, arrogant, delusional, and incredibly, shockingly stupid. There is simply nothing to justify her existence.
LOVE this ad. LOVE it.
Is it just me, or did the Urban Sombrero just make an appearance in this mess?

Yes, it's Kinect's "Dance Central". The chick's are not helped by those high heels either. I'm usually laughing my ass off while trying to dance to "Teach me how to jerk" which I'd never heard of until I got this game.

What is this supposed to be, some sort of gay pilgrim faux-ironic "bad on purpose" ersatz David Byrne performance art? Well, it's bad, alright. And those clothes are just stupid. Nothing can save them.

LMAO
it's so hot I watched it twice.
the amish/orthodox dudes are the girls.
Strangely enough, I'm starting to think men are better dancers than women. Any race of men, doesn't matter, they just seem to have women beat. Boy, was I blown away by the dancers in the Michael Jackson "This Is it" movie. They were incredible!

hahaha. No pout, too?
and that's supposed to sell clothes? an anti-psychotic med maybe, but definitely no clothes...
Isn't that how they spend all their free time anyway? I mean, in between doing blow?
Snowy paid me!
Coma Caca!
----------------------------------
excuse me but how the hell else are super models supposed to dance? it's amazing they can move at all.
Hmm...I ain't impressed until I see one of these tricks do the Crackie Shimmy.

The Amish guys are hot. I've been saying for years I love the Puritan look and some designer needs to bring it back.

looks like they're doing the Wii "just dance" game to me. also, the boys look more like orthodox jews, not amish.
FUCK THE AMISH, BREEDERS OF ALL PUPPYMILL DOGS.....KILL THOSE BASTARDS...and I cant believe they really put that song there....those girls dont have an ounce of rhythm, not their fault, some hear the beat, others dont, doesnt matter the color, but yess lots of the WHITES cant dance.....Im white, I could say that, but I can shake my ass.

You're right, those guys in black look like yeshiva students, haha.

Fuck all you people saying white people can't dance. I've seen plenty of black people who can't even moonwalk.
---------------------------------
OK wait. Is that the standard of good dancing? The moonwalk? Do you know it's 2011? HAHAHAH! The moonwalk!

Lanvin is awful.
Those enormous asymmetric ruffles are so fucking played out.
The red head isn't THAT bad. You can tell someone is off to the side doing the dance moves with them cause the other one keeps trying to follow along.

The last time I danced in public was in 2005, when I was, without a doubt, 'don't give a fuck' tanked out of my mind. I must have had a dozen bourbon & Cokes over a period of a couple of hours, and my redneck side succumbed to Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Call Me the Breeze." The Banshe was bent over laughing, not something he did very often.
LMAO!!!
These dance moves were done solely for the purpose of taking a fashion shot for the ad campaign. Naturally the models will exaggerate the dancing.
As far as White people dancing, I grew up with plenty of them in the southside of Chicago that can throw down.
Fuck all you people saying white people can't dance. I've seen plenty of black people who can't even moonwalk. What if people said "black people can't swim/ice skate..etc." same thing. I hate over generalizations for entire racial groups. Grow the fuck up.
This video was stupid. It's like "yuk yuk look at our awkward dance moves" insta kitsch. Like the weird looking old man dancing fast for sic flags amusement parks ads. **yawn**. The clothes look like filenes discount shit. The room stylist did a good job.
Isn't Karen Elson supposed to be a "burlesque dancer"? I expected her to be less stiff - or at least to be able to move in heels.
I think they were supposed to look dorky. Right?
Also, those black booties are BAD. They make people's legs look stumpier. They cut you off at the ankle. Not a lengthening effect at ALL.
I suppose the models can pull it off because they have freakishly long legs (yes I am a jelly h8er), but regular women should take note.
Its a rip on Dogtooth
