Fashion month has officially entered its third chapter, with Milan Fashion Week kicking off in the Italian city on Tuesday, February 18.
Following catwalk displays in New York and London, Milan is now playing host to model, A-listers, designers and fashion editors as local labels roll out their autumn / winter 2020 collections.
Luxury heavyweights Gucci and Alberta Ferretti were among the first to unveil their creations on the catwalk, both holding shows on Wednesday, February 19. These catwalk extravaganzas were followed by the likes of Versace, Prada, Fendi and Moschino, who presented autumn / winter looks over the weekend.
In the front rows were stars such as model Emily Ratajkowsi, actress Gemma Arterton and director Danny Boyle, while Bella Hadid and Kaia Gerber were among the models taking part in the shows.

Analysis
Maros Sefcovic is juggling multiple international trade agreement files, but his message was clear when he spoke to The National on Wednesday.
The EU-UAE bilateral trade deal will be finalised soon, he said. It is in everyone’s interests to do so. Both sides want to move quickly and are in alignment. He said the UAE is a very important partner for the EU. It’s full speed ahead - and with some lofty ambitions - on the road to a free trade agreement.
We also talked about US-EU tariffs. He answered that both sides need to talk more and more often, but he is prepared to defend Europe's position and said diplomacy should be a guiding principle through the current moment.
