HY ARE THERE more celebrities sitting in the front rows of the Luca Luca spring–summer 2003 show than any other we've seen of late? Luca Orlandi knows. They want to see this designer's sexy and glamourous new looks on the runway as they do every season. They will most likely be wearing some of their favourites to the parties and benefits they plan to attend next spring.
   Sensuality has always been the attraction at a Luca Luca presentation. Even Donald Trump and his girlfriend, Melania Knauss, sat just a few rows from Ivana Trump and her boyfriend, totally oblivious to the buzz around them, thoroughly enjoying the show.
