We're obviously used to seeing nudity on the catwalk - a peep of nipple is almost as obligatory as a bottle of Vitamin Water on the every seat, but if it's a non deliberate wardrobe malfunction, it becomes something more of a issue. Take this young model at New York Fashion Week's Gemma Kang Gen Art New Garde show. If she'd removed her top entirely after her double nipple slip, waved around her head and thrown it on the floor, the front row would've been nodding their heads saying 'yes, yes, so fashion forward', but because she frantically scrambled to hitch it back up, they were probably all wincing (apart from the straight guys, obviously). Didn't Ms Kang learn the importance of a good model fitting from Tim Gunn?

So, New York Fashion Week is here now, and enjoying the front row on day one, we have Alexa Chung, Shailene Woodley, an Olsen (hmmm, Ashley?), Whitney Port, Leigh Lezark and Jessica White. Don't you worry, there will be plenty more.
