Meadham Kirchhoff: 'A bunch of powder puffing Courtney Love lookalikes burst out and did the can-can.

Meadham Kirchhoff: 'This was followed by a another group of models who appeared standing on what looked like a wedding cake/jewellery box with a ballerina on top. After this, the Courtneys came back and there was a big finale. Everyone smiled, including Anna Wintour – who for the record is much more smiley at shows that she gets credit for.'
