Which model/designer is trying to clear the air regarding a less-than-brilliant statement she made about her current style muses--the homeless? See the full quote and answer below...

It's model/RVCA designer/Alexander Wang muse Erin Wasson, proving once again that maybe models should just stick to what they do best. Apparently, a while back, Miss Wasson told Nylon TV that she thought homeless people in Venice Beach had the best style. She then tried to clear up her original gaffe with this explanation:

“I have actually talked to these homeless people. I’ve had conversations with them. It’s a choice that they’ve made. They don’t want to have a job. They enjoy being completely free. I’ll see people on the beach and aesthetically, they look awesome, and because it’s so uncontrived and uninhibited. I got a lot of heat for that. It wasn’t that I was like ‘Oh yeah, homeless people are so cool; it’s so cool to see people that are homeless looking cool.’ It’s the lack of complexity in the way that they dress and the fact that there’s no thought behind it whatsoever that’s so righteous. You know?”

Oy.
