Heathcliff: his life as a model

That on the picture would be Heathcliff according to Gucci. Yahoo! on behalf of Fashion Wire Daily reports a fashion show in Milan where:

One could almost feel the wind on the Yorkshire moors in the first look, when a hirsute lad in a sleek black cashmere minmalist highwayman's coat strode out on the runway. In an odd way, one can tell a lot about where a Gucci collection is heading from looking at the catwalk, which this season was mannish industrial metal gray carpet, austere like the fashion.

[...]

Moreover, there was a confusing Gucci grunge moment, with youths in Allegheny check shirts. Surely no rock star could be further away from this slick Italian brand than Kurt Cobain? Finally, two particular looks – a shrunken leather motorbike blouson and an aged cowhide punker's jacket rendered the Heights a tad too low.

Yet, a smart velvet moment for evening meant that the show did ultimately end on a high note, unlike Heathcliff in Emily Bronte's famous novel.

So, for all of you wondering what Heathcliff did during his absence from the Heights, now you know. He worked as a model for Gucci, and trained Matrix's Neo to wear his robes without tripping. (Take one more look at the picture and you'll see "Heathcliff" is wearing Neo's clothes)

But this is not the first time the Brontës make it into the Fashion world.

Now, what would Emily with her "I wish to be as God made me" kind of attitude say about her characters being used for promoting the latest trends? Nothing good, that's for sure.
