Zoolander in Valentino

The Internet was abuzz when Ben Stiller walked Paris Fashion Week as Derek Zoolander, the eponymous model he portrayed more than a decade ago, along with Owen Wilson who channeled Hansel, Zoolander's rival.

It was such exciting news. It overshadowed the actual show, which was really beautiful by the way. It's magnificent and everything looked really expensive. 




I could imagine people palpitating in awe at the beautiful clothes, then on to a climax with the surprise appearance of Zoolander and Hansel.

People stood up, the Internet was sharing images and videos, announcing the upcoming movie. Zoolander was a ridiculously silly but highly amusing  struggle of a male model. It was satirical, and I think the industry understood how ridiculous it can get sometimes.

How they will  pull it off, we don't know. It was about an aging model, now Zoolander should be really old, way too old by what I understand of the modeling industry. The first movie was in 2001. Maybe they should write about the changes in the industry, the death of the old greats and the rise of the hordes of silly fashion bloggers.
