Fashion model Lauren Bush, the face of Tommy Hilfiger and the US president's niece (daughter of brother Neil), refused to wear clothing that is "too Arabic" at Fashion Week in Barcelona.

The fashion house selected Ms Bush as a model because she is an "international personality who had never modelled in Spain," Mr Galinanes said.

"This is fashion, not politics. You can't politicize fashion," he said.

Well, I see from today's IotD that you can politicize fashion. In the process, I think the fashion suffers.
