Nathalie Moellhausen, whose sixth-place finish on Saturday was the best ever for a Brazilian woman, has walked for Italian dressmaker Alberta Ferretti and won team gold at the 2009 world championship. “Everything I do in fashion is related to fencing,” said Italian-born Moellhausen, wearing gold earrings of her own design in the shape of swords.
