Then we showed you what those “real-life” models looked like in real-life. Now they’ve unleashed their campaign video in which you hear what those “models” actually sound like.

The best bits you may have missed on FashionIndie this week including the earliest American couturiers, coverage of Miami Swim Week and we’re looking for someone to fill my heels.
