Since Ralph Lauren’s apologized (for the manufacturing-in-China issue, not the ugly thing), we can move on to the other major fashion x Olympics news. Here it is: Britain tapped some of its most famous and recognizable models to perform for the closing cermonies. Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Georgia May Jagger, Stella Tennant, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Lily Cole will walk in a fashion show designed by the wonderful Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen‘s Sarah Burton for the games’ closing number. All participants will be paid an honorary £1. The show will surely be a treat, but it’ll also be a major PR coup for the British fashion industry. While Americans squabble about sending jobs overseas and our dependence on foreign goods, the Brits will get a chance to spotlight their twenty-plus billion dollar a year luxury sector.
