Streaker 'Freeballs' at the Dolce & Gabbana Fashion Show

As you can see from this video, a streaker disrupted the Dolce & Gabbana men’s show in Milan just as the designers were leaving the runway. The man — who was naked except for his sneakers — made it all the way down the runway and part of the way back before being surrounded by security. You can see him in this video, which is narrated in Italian like a soccer match, at 1:15. And here is a report from a GQ editor who saw the whole thing live:

“While the designers come out for their bow and turn to walk backstage, from down the other end of the runway a guy rips off his clothes. (Not sure if it was breakaway suit or what.) Full freeball. Says nothing anything can understand and just kind of zig zags up the runway before the first security guard tries to cut him off. Maneuvers a little but turns back and that’s when four guards create a perimeter to block his junk and he’s taken away. Fashion community says ‘huh.'”

Stefano Gabbana, meanwhile, didn’t want to talk about his and Domenico Dolce’s recent conviction on tax evasion charges. “We feel shocked about what’s happened. But we are relaxed too because we know that we are innocent. We resist, and I feel strong,” said the designer. The pair were given a suspended 20-month sentence but have announced they will appeal.

Why should we bring luster to other markets?” A reporter asked if Armani would be “open” to a “dialog” on these issues, and he replied, “Are the French open? Are the English open? Are the Americans open, with that signora [Anna Wintour]?” [WWD]
