The small mercy: SWINTON is at least wearing lipstick, to prevent her looking like a zombie.

The larger mercy: SWINTON, period. Last year she went with the garbage-bag caftan; now, it's her very best funeral sarong and what I think may be a summer poncho she turned into a blouse with the aid of a strategically placed hair elastic.
Sure, okay, she could have added a lei made of Creme Eggs and a blazer woven from porcupine quills, but we have plenty of time for her to rise up the bonkers scale. We're only in the first third of 2009. Isaac Mizrahi just sent handbag hats down the runway, so she's probably just working up to the day when she'll swan into a premiere at Cannes and start stuffing people's business cards into her millinery before kneeling in front of the valet so he can find her wallet. Believe.
