Sadie Robertson says that the models at New York Fashion week gave her dirty looks and nasty comments.
Sadie, 17, presented her “Daddy-approved” prom dress line at the fashion week in September 2013.
She recounts the experience in her new book Live Original, which is slated for release on October 28.
Robertson says she tried getting some of the models with a “hey ya'll,” but that it didn’t work out well.
“They just looked at me like they had icicles in their eyes. Without using words, they sent me a strong message: ‘What are you doing here?’” she said, noting that she felt uncomfortable because she’s from Louisiana while the models were from places like Russia and other European countries.
“To me, they all looked about six feet tall and were super skinny,” the devoted Christian writes, per an excerpt obtained by Radar Online. “They were pretty obsessed with their weight, so instead of having snacks or treats, they smoked cigarettes and drank coffee…They were quiet, and they seemed either sad or kind of angry.”
But Sadie says that she soon overcame feeling intimidated because she realized that the models “had a lot of insecurities.”
“They cared way too much about their outward appearance— and confidence is an inside thing,” she explains. “If people try to become confident by trying to make themselves look better or feel better, they will never get there.”
