As the mom of two daughters (27 and 18), I know why the bra clasp was contaminated with RS's (and others' DNA). Her bra was exposed and touched by the men during a hug, or any of the other affectionate gestures typical of Italian men. I'm guessing RS gave Meredith Kercher a welcome hug and touched her bra during it.
My daughters are completely oblivious to their bra straps, cups and back clasps being exposed - tank tops, spaghetti straps, racer backs, a low swooping back line - they consider the bra underneath as part of the outfit.
I'm sure you've seen plenty of young women with their bras exposed with spaghetti straps or tanks etc. it's been this way for at least a decade or more. Madonna popularized that look and it's only become more popular and normalized ever since.
