sasha-piv.jpgEver wonder why models don't smile on the runway? Reuters tries to find an answer to this age-old fashion question, just as designers like Stella McCartney sent models grinning down the runway (Sasha Pivovarova is almost unrecognizable here without her trademark staredown) for her sprightly collection of spring florals. Although Stella broke the rules this season, don't think the models will be cheery come fall 2008. "When they smile you look at their smile. When they don't smile, you look at the dresses," said Didier Grumbach, the head of France's fashion federation. "It's probably better for the dresses."
