Greetings from Milan!
Soon the moving epicenter of Fashion will be here. The runways in New York have front and center right now, but their fashion week is wrapping up this Friday. Next comes London, February 20-24. And then will be the collections in Milan, February 25-March 04. Paris finishes it off with their collections March 5-12.
Collections in these cities are a very big deal and any Fashionista worth their Prada bag and Gucci sunglasses will be in attendance, making careful notes.
The shows are later in the season this year than usual. But you can see how they are all lined up back to back and this never changes. It’s done this way so that the buyers and the press can sweep through as many of the shows as possible with the least amount of ‘down’ time between Collections.
There are fashion ‘weeks’ all over the world; more and more in fact and in some surprising places. You can see the calendar by going to this link:

And to follow the Collections and the industry in general, be sure to check out www.models.com, as you may already know.
I’m here in Milan looking for some very new girls–girls who aren’t ‘ready for prime time’ yet and are here early to see the designers before the mass exodus of ‘It’ girls from NY flood Milan. I’ve found that you can meet some very promising overlooked and/or undiscovered talent that way.
I’ll keep you posted. Wish me luck!
