These days, \u201cFashion Week\u201d is more like Fashion Month, what do you\u00a0look most forward to in each city?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I focus on emerging luxury designers. That is, I like to find those smaller or up and coming designers who are producing unique designs with high-end designer quality.\u00a0 So, while their names might be lesser known than some of the iconic design houses like Ralph Lauren or Valentino, they create distinctive designs with the same high quality craftsmanship and impeccable attention to details.<\/p>\n

In that vein, during New York Fashion week I was really impressed by the presentations of Sachin & Babi and Novis.<\/p>\n

In London, I was very excited to see what Mary Katrantzou, Peter Pilotto, and Simone Rocha had up their sleeves. British fashion is having a major moment, and I’m completely smitten with the direction it is taking.<\/p>\n

For Milan, I was looking forward to seeing what Massimo\u00a0Giorgetti did at both MSGM and Emilio Pucci and what Marco de Vincenzo did with his label. Both of these designers are leading the pack of young Italian designers to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n

In addition, when it comes to Italian fashion, I can’t help but think of the high quality Italian leather shoes and handbags. So, \u00a0I definitely visited my friends\u00a0at Aquazzura, Giuseppe\u00a0Zanotti, and Elena Ghisellini.<\/p>\n

For Paris Fashion week, my highlights included Demna Gvasalia\u2019s highly\u00a0anticipated debut at Balenciaga, Chlo\u00e9\u2019s motocross-inspired leathers and clothes for real women by Stella McCartney<\/p>\n
