Racks of Burberry trenches hit our shores each year - now Christopher Bailey wants us to return the favor.
The checked designer was in Chicago last week for a Burberry fashion show, and the local models used on his runway made quite an impression -
According to Time Out Chicago, Bailey booked several of them for his Milan runway next month.
Stranger discoveries have certainly happened, and remember that Cindy Crawford developed in Chicago 20 years ago - it's also Erin Heatherton's hometown.
Who's next?
Maybe Shaletta Porterfield from Ford - Andre Leon Talley reportedly called the Vogue home office about her, and today, WWD runs a photo of her storming the Burberry show.
Look out, Milan!

Yeeah! I'm so happy to hear this (as a Chicagoan myself). There's been a lot of good fashion happening in the city and I have always feared that we'll never compare to New York. But things are so different here, more DIY, less black and luxe obsessed. I hope for more designers shows because it would definitely espouse a better fashion culture here.
