Famous People .... Runways?

Prince showed up at the Matthew Williamson show a while back & gained a lot of attention for the show. Conversely, Rihanna opened the DSquared show in Milan and closed it too.

Does celebrity belong in fashion? Or should the models just be models? I think they mesh whether fashion purists like it or not because fame sells clothes and clothes need fame in order to gain exposure. I don't mind the celebrity in fashion but what I do mind is the over-exposure of celebrity in fashion. Case in point: that kate moss perfume. Kate Moss has been all over the place, and that is not necessarily a bad thing but does she have to embody every aspect of fashion? No and I don't believe she should because it is not monolithic.
