Looking radiant in an off-white vintage Ayesha Depala gown, Yasmin Le Bon, who was one of the kingpins of the '80s supermodel era, made no bones about being bowled over by Depala's virginal creations.
In a candid chat with tabloid!, she spoke about clothes, shoes and her marriage to her rocking better half, Duran Duran frontman Simon Le Bon.
You seem to have thoroughly enjoyed the show. At one point, tabloid! expected you to glide down the ramp!
I loved the show. As the models sashayed down the ramp, I was like, 'I could so wear that gown,' or 'My daughter would have loved to wear it.' All of the pieces are stunning, yet wearable. I love the vintage feel.
Regarding walking down the ramp, it has to just feel right. Models these days are very young. Most of the times I fear I will look like their granny. Or the thought that they are young enough to be my daughters keeps popping up. But if the right thing comes along, I am willing to give it a shot.
We hear, that you are a shoeholic?
Absolutely. I have lost count of the number of shoes in my closet. Let me just say that it's filling up, and the worst part is that I hate throwing stuff out. My most recent acquisition is this beautiful pair of Manolo Blahniks. It was a gift to myself for Simon's birthday. I convinced him that gifting myself a shoe for his birthday bash was a great present.
Speaking of Simon, what's the secret of your long-lasting marriage?
To put it simply, he keeps me on my toes. I think it has worked out very well for us and we are good for each other.
What are the defining qualities of a supermodel?
It's all about the attitude. If you have nailed the right attitude, then the rest is easy.
What next?
Change is in the air. I try my best not to make any hard and fast rules. I have also learnt not to panic wondering where my life is going. Some interesting doors are opening for me. But it's too early to talk about it.
