There’s a lighthearted mood in the air, especially at Dolce & Gabbana where the cheerful models took selfies transmitted to large screens hanging over the crowd.
Meanwhile, the buzz cut is making a buzz among models, especially with the week’s standouts Ruth Bell and twins Camilla and Giulia Venturini. In an ultra-fem season, a near-bald scalp gives edge to frills and lace for women whose style leans more to the brooding side.
