George Michael's 'Too Funky' Is Still A Fashion Masterpiece! [VIDEO]
The talented and popular 80's and 90's musician, songwriter, and former lead singer for the group 'Wham!', George Michael, created arguably the best video ever, that payed homage to fashion and the role a supermodel plays in the world of fashion. His video "Too Funky" was directed by famed fashion designer Thierry Mugler, who also created all of the wardrobe for the video; that also features some of the most successful and beautiful supermodels of our era... Linda Evangelista, Nadja Auermann, Emma Sjöberg, Estelle Hallyday, Shana Zadrick, Tyra Banks and Emma Balfour. The concept for the video is based on a film called "Freedom 90", and captures the behind-the-scenes chaos of a fashion show and the antics of the beautiful and powerful supermodels that strut down the runway. The visually stimulating, high fashion "Too Funky" was most definitely ahead of it's time and has been very influential, as current well-known artists like Lady Gaga and Beyoncé, to name a few, have been seen in very similar costumes.
Check out the Director's Cut below that is more racy than the TV cut. Thierry Mugler's Director's Cut features even more models, like Beverly Peele, as well as former male models turned actors, Justin Chambers from 'Grey's Anatomy' and Oscar-nominated actor Djimon Hounsou, who was actually discovered by Mugler.
