MODEL BEHAVIOUR
Usually, when models outside the “norm” appear on catwalks, they’re accompanied by press releases claiming “diverse” casting, before the norm resumes next season. Which makes it all the more refreshing when Amber Valletta, now 44, slinks down the catwalk without even a hint of an inverted comma, as she did in over-the-knee leather boots and an oversized coat at Isabel Marant (and at H&M Studio, as well as at Prada and Agnona in Milan). Not as a talking point, but as a working model – who just happens to be in her forties.
