I was at Milano for just three days back in 2002. At Duomo me and my friend met two beautiful Ukranian models and they have given us invitations to a fashion gathering, where we saw Italy from a totally different perspective. Bad thing is that I had to buy a suit and then carry it with me all the time.
So yes, you do see models (haven't seen any supermodels though), and if you have a little charm, you're guaranteed what you're looking for. If you speak Russian it's even better, cause many of them come from the FSU.
