Ex-spy Anna Chapman made headlines when she hit the catwalk for the Dosso Dossi show in the Turkish resort town of Antalya last week. For her modeling fees, Hikmet Erasland said his clothing company Dosso Dossi donated money to Chapman’s charity for children with poor eyesight in her hometown Volgograd, reported the Associated Press.
