Fashionable names for Fashion Week

Today heralds the start to Rosemount Australian Fashion Week in Sydney. A week where we watch people parade garments we know we'll never wear and if we do we know they wont look like that on us!

Fashion heralds some interesting names, not just the names of the designers and labels themselves but also the names of the models. The most common designer baby names out there include Chanel and Dior followed by Louis. Paris, being the fashion capital of the world could also be thought of as a fashionable name, however one person who has made the name famous has removed most of the class from the name.

Feast yourselves on this selection of fashionable names, but not too much or you wont fit that size 6! (on a side note, is anyone actually a size 6?!)
