Show coverage in haiku form

The Côte d’Azur set
the scene — famous playground of
the rich & listless.

Et voila! Here they
come, models whose lifestyles we
are meant to envy.

Long blonde hair, beaucoup
du stripes in navy & white
& vivid red lips.

Halter tops with spots,
impractical shoes abound,
monochrome is in.

Australia’s Next
Top Model does her little turn
on the slouch-walk.

Wooden bangles &
brown leather belts help ground a
floaty white shift dress.

By the looks of things,
sailor chic will be major.
Ahoy there matey.

Mimco’s turbans &
beads reek of Little Edie
at the beach. (Love it.)

All the male models
look like criminals, even
in pink & florals.

(Sunglasses hide one’s
eyes from the piercing glare of
the surly front row.

There are several
mothers in the audience
who are not happy.)

...Is that all there is?
Stripes & white for summer is
not that ground-breaking.
