Italian fashion label Etro unveiled its own little and large show in Milan yesterday as two hirsute models hit the catwalk to show off its latest collection.
Sporting checked suits, the models looked more like they had stepped off the set of a Lord of the Rings film than the glamour fashion houses of Milan.
The Etro label was created in the 1960s and is characterized by a Paisley motif, which is its hallmark.

There are some things in life that should remain on film and never duplicated in real life, and Hobbit fashion is one of them.

I know Hobbits. Hobbits are friends of mine. These sir, are no Hobbits!

Yeesh...Talk about jumping on a bandwagon! Too bad the designers never did their homework:
From the Prologue:
"They dressed in bright colours, being notably fond of yellow and green."
No mention of pinstripes, paisley, patterns or checks.

You're probably right. She must be thinking: "Jeez, I'm supposed to BE the beard. Not actually WEAR one!"
