Donatella Versace's pad

We tried to get her to come down and party but she wasn't having a bar of it.

The peculiarities of fashion

1. A guy taking a shower on the catwalk at Frankie Morello.

2. A ladder on the catwalk at Costume National.

3. A dog in the already way too crowded and way way way too hot backstage at Costume National.

4. An Italian fashion editor so committed to his braces, they've worn marks onto the back of his blazer.

This kid is only 17 years old! It's his first season. He walked for Jil Sander in Florence two days ago. Not a bad way to start things off.

This is how you introduce a character

"Moberg was a degenerate. He was small, with thin blond hair and a face that was pale and flabby. I have never seen a man so bent on self-destruction – not only self, but destruction of everything he could get his hands on. He was lewd and corrupt in every way. He hated the taste of rum, yet he would finish a bottle in ten minutes, then vomit and fall down. He ate nothing but sweet rolls and spaghetti, which he would heave the moment he got drunk. He spent all his money on whores and when that got dull he would take on an occasional queer, just for the strangeness of it."

- Hunter S. Thomspon, The Rum Diary.

I especially like that last line.
