John Galliano delivered his version of that - nude upon nude, which program notes detailed as the color of choice, as used in various combinations. No matter what was put into print, most editors seemed to draw a direct line to the legendary Kate Moss, supermodel who once posed nude, but since her fall from H&M glory is said to be in rehab.
