Behind the Scenes and Socialising By Robert Rosen
Was it just a clever marketing move that the models at fashion week were playing with PSP players. Cute huh? But why not XBox 360s which could have been installed in the dull VIP lounge during the long days when everyone was bored picking each other to pieces while smiling? Did you see those shoes? How tragic were they etc etc.

Who Was That Blonde With The Funny Accent?
Introducing Brandusa Niro - the blonde of a certain age who was a special guest at fashion week and the editor of the IMG publication The Daily Mini - which is printed in New York. `Brandi’ who had a great Eastern European kinda accent swept in and out for a couple of days and saw all the Sydney hot spots including dinner at Icebergs yada yada yada.. No word yet on whether she did Bridge Climb. There was a lunchtime party for her in the Motorola Fashion Week lounge with baby mugs of parsnip soup and Oz piccolos - but the whole thing was puzzling …Brandi was just not your average New York style fashionista ..even allowing for the accent, she had none of the chat and she wasn’t covered in logos. She would have been instantly rejected for that international fashion gun role by Central Casting. So what was she really about? And why was she constantly surrounded by so many nervous MAFW staffers including Simon Lock? And what’s with that mini daily mag - that is only published once during the week? I left before the speeches and a second mini mug of soup..But if anyone out there `got her’, please explain? Post me ros@rosreinesgossip.com.

Fashion Week Continues On and On and ON….
Is radio `personality’ Jackie O ever spotted without stage girl makeup? We’ve seen her in that ad on TV when she has supposedly just woken up in the morning in full slap with not even a smudged eye, next to the divine Kyle. And of course, as we can see in this shot taken by Robert Rosen at the fashion week cocktails at the David Jones’ buying office, she is actually more made up than most of the models on the runway. Was she actually modelling during fashion week? Have I missed something? Has anyone, apart from her husband, ever seen her au natural?

The Soapie Version of Fashion Week
There was so much relationship chat in the air at fashion week, you would have thought that some of the delegates were auditioning for The Young And The Restless. Hugely attractive Mimco boss, David Briskin, who has recently separated from his wife Amanda, found himself targeted by many pretty young things during the chic cocktails at the David Jones Buying Office. Meanwhile with his ex-girlfriend, Browns buyer, Yasmine Sewell swanning around looking just a gorgeous and a gamin as ever, men’s shirt designer turned nightclub owner, Ian Nessick ihas turned his attention to magazine promo queen, Kat Vidovic. Then there was also a model breakup in the air but more about that later..
