The fashion week calendar is perhaps the most punishing on the globe and the Autumn/Winter shows in London and Milan are the latest to showcase what we'll be wearing next. Starting in London, there is always a mix of British heritage, punk rock and the avant-garde. I suppose we have a little of each today with a striking, architectural collection from Chalayan, haunting, dark replicants from Gareth Pugh and the queen, Pam Hogg, is still show us how it's done.

MILAN

This week in Milan has seen some real media favorites with the big fashion houses staging some epic productions. Milan always offers an interesting grab bag of Italian glamour with nightclub looks and some weird mixed in. Not quite the sophistication of Paris but I'm always surprised by something. While we don't normally like to feature the mega-brands, those really stuck out this week with nice presentations from Versace, Prada and ok fine, we will include the Gucci heads, which were six months in the making.
