After my quick trip to London, I landed in Milan to do a little shopping for the stores. I love visiting young talent like Augustin Teboul, whose neogothic pieces are a hit at Curve, as well as established houses like Francesco Scognamiglio who are masters of the craft. Besides, no trip to Milan is complete without a stop at 10 Corso Como for little shopping and nosh!! I captured some of my favorite moments before jetting off to Paris for my week-long stay. Ciao!!!

What do Donatella Versace, John Galliano, and now Burberry‘s Christopher Bailey have in common? They have served as the chair of London’s Fashion Fringe competition.

Bailey, who will chair through 2013, will judge, select and mentor three finalists, then name the winner who gets to show their collection during London Fashion Week. Previous winners include Erdem, Basso & Brooke, and Curve favorites Aminaka Wilmont.

One of our favorite collections will have a reduced role in the upcoming Fall shows at Paris Fashion Week. Why, you ask? Pheobe Philo, the house’s creative director, is expecting her third child in April and wants to take it easy, WWD reports. The house has opted for a more informal presentation, possibly even in their showroom, however they will keep their original time slot on the calendar on March 4th at 1pm. While we’re sure the collection will be beautiful no matter what, we always look forward to Céline’s runway show…. but April’s production is obviously way more important*

Ooh la la! Jean Paul Gaultier is the honoree of Lycée Francais de New York’s annual gala this March. This year’s event will fête “Les Années Folles” – the roaring ’20s in Paris, a period of rich cultural exchange between France and the U.S. and an era Gaultier has a special talent for recreating. Speaking of recreating periods in fashion, click here to watch the finale of Gaultier’s 40s-tinged Spring 2012 runway show in Paris. Bravo, Jean Paul!
Kanye West has opened a Twitter account for his clothing line, DW by Kanye West (@dwbykanye), the same day he made another auspicious debut as a DJ. There are very few tweets and no announcement, but the press has noticed and word is getting out…besides rumors have been floating around the last few days that Kanye is moving to London to be closer to his design partner Katie Eary and receivce tutalage from the staff at Central Saint Martins. Does this mean he will keep his promise and show in Paris again? After fashion critics skewed his debut collection, Kanye vowed to take all of the criticism constructively, go back to the drawing board, and produce a collection worthy of being shown alongside the best fashion talent in the world. After all, people have devoted their entire life’s work to fashion and, although Kanye seems very enthusiastic about it, he has a long way to go. What are your thoughts? Do you think he should do it? Do you think he can?
