We have a bit to say about Milan’s catwalk conclusion, particularly the puzzling casting at
DSquared2. So: The brothers Caten slapped red lipstick and fishnets on their opener
Iekeliene. Now, the girl can pull off geek-chic glasses and toppling berets like nobody’s business, but sauntering down the runway like a smoldering sexpot? Um...no. And then the designers asked
Bianca to finish the show in the above pose (center). She’s a dazzling, voluptuous Italian babe! It’s Milan! And this is the hottest we get? Sigh. In less rant-worthy news,
Fendi and Dolce tapped bankable blondes
Lara and
Lily to open their shows, respectively. Plus, we got a serious treat at
Versace: the return of
Daria Werbowy. The Canadian icon bookended the show looking just as fresh, if not slightly more womanly, as when she was signed over a decade ago. Other girls have walked miles in Milan, but Werbowy’s earned the privilege to swoop in at the end and steal the win as Model of the Week. —
