Fashion designers in Los Angeles, the city of drivers where no one walks, are struggling to recruit models with a decent catwalk strut.

It is one of the toughest challenges when casting for Los Angeles Fashion Week, which began on Sunday and is seen as the poor relation to the leading shows in London, Paris, Milan and New York.

Many local models are also actresses and too busy angling for screen roles to practise their walks. The city also lacks the "gait coaches" who whip models' catwalks into elegant shape.

Kevin Johnn, the celebrated New York designer, described the models on offer in Los Angeles as "slim pickings". "It's hard to find girls in LA," he said. "They're less experienced. The walk in LA isn't as confident."

"Nobody walks in L.A." Including the models, apparently. :rofl:

2. I've walked in L.A. before.

People looked at me funny as they burned another gallon of gas for no reason.
