Paris Hilton cannot escape ridicule. At New Delhi Fashion Week, Geisha Designs poked fun at the socialite with a line of eveningwear that “sought to capture the ‘haughty self-display’ among the elite.” And instead of showing with traditional format where vamping models merely stomp about with frozen faces, the Geisha models strutted the runway as if it were a red carpet:

…[T]he Indian designers said they were just having a bit of fun at Hilton’s expense and not condemning celebrity socialites.

It’s nice to see a fashion show have a little fun with the notion of celebrity, isn’t it? Meanwhile, the real Paris Hilton is currently working on a reality show for MTV, in which twenty guys and gals will compete to be her “best friend forever.” Which makes India look even better.
