Hollow-eyed and gaunt, the skeletal model stalked down the runway at the Gianfranco Ferre fashion show in Milan last night wearing a dress cut in a deep V that revealed her protruding clavicle and flat chest. A flurry of flashbulbs popped as photographers vied to get the best shot and the line of fashion editors sitting front row scribbled furiously on their notepads.
If ever there were a case of Emperor's New Clothes at fashion week, it was here. Did any one of the assembled crowd really think this model - bony cleavage, dark circled eyes - looked good? Could they genuinely say that this image was inspirational? And ultimately, would the model do what must be her main purpose here: sell these clothes to other women?
