"Over the weekend, while stuck to our beloved iPhone to keep up with all the Tweets from all the editors in Milan, we were shocked to see that The New York Times The Moment Twitter wrote about a model crying on the runway, saying At Jil Sander watching a model with tears running down her face. An allergic reaction to the makeup or to those orange wedges?
Her name is Auguste Abeliunaite, but she sometime uses Tomasuite as her last name. She also walked in Prada, Les Copains, Pringle of Scotland, and Burberry, a great season for a newer girl.
Pierre Rougier, Jil Sanders U.S. publicist, denied the model crying to the Wall Street Journals Heard on the Runway, saying he couldnt see it in pictures or video.

Were going to pretend that she was crying out of joy, rather than pain from her shoes or the flash from the photographers. Either way, well remember her."

Today, the blog has official word from Auguste's agent Piero Piazzi, who says that the waterworks were indeed a result of her delicate eyes (and not painful shoes, or exhaustion, or hunger, or a need to make a non-verbal statement about the economy). Mystery solved! It's amazing how a few tears could generate such a wave of publicity for the young model, who is still a student in Lithuania.

maybe she got stoned or something... lol

Really plays on that 'tragic beauty' thing. I'm not surprised people were so worked up over it.

My eyes can water something terrible if they come into contact with an irritant, however mild it may be!

I feel sorry for the poor girl - all that commotion!

Though, what's that saying? "All publicity is good publicity" - perhaps being remembered for this will work in her's - and the designer's - favour?
