Milan Fashion Week – that sartorially-charged, vivacious, all-encompassing beast – roared to its spectacular close this week, and nothing quantifies #MFW more than the crude and lewd utterances of the style set whom attend it. Sweet nothings for some, for us, the inane observations, quips and comments that escape sulky show-goers and wannabes alike truly define the most fashionable week on the sartorial calendar. Those cumulative hours spent in waiting often result in some pretty spectacular moments that otherwise go undocumented; unless, that is, someone is taking notes of the outrageous things people say when they think no one is listening.
Here, in fashion parlance, a glimpse at the real Milan Fashion Week.
