As we begin to round-up the last of our Milan Fashion Week coverage, Frida Giannini got us excited with this highly glam collection for Gucci. Referencing the fashion house's archives from the '70s and '90s, Giannini offered a sophisticated yet relaxed vibe in colours of mostly cream, beige and stone. There was lots of tailoring once again, and a fantastic use of suede, fur and leather.

It isn't the first time that Anna Wintour has taken a vested interest in Christopher Kane. However, after the presentation of his latest Versus collection, pictured above, (the diffusion line he works on with Donatella Versace) in Milan, Wintour is reportedly very eager to make Kane a household name. After all, it was her who first introduced the young Scottish designer to Donatella in the hopes of reviving the Versus brand, which was first began by Gianni Versace in 1989. While there is no word on what she has in store for Kane, I'm sure whatever it is it'll be big.

Layering has worked wonders on Angela Missoni's runway for the past couple of seasons. Her A/W 2010-11 collection was no exception, only this time we were taken on a tribal journey with influences from Africa all the way to Scotland. Blanket-type knits were draped and pinned to give the impression of capes, kilts and ponchos. Other elements included tweed, fur-trimmed garments, cropped cardigans all created from colourful looms and patterns. Daughter Margherita Missoni also left her mark by unveiling her first accessories collection, including chrome metal bracelets and neck pieces, which fit perfectly with the tribal-inspired collection.
Sex kitten was the theme of Versace's latest autumn/winter 2010-11 with an array of super-slick, metallic sci-fi pieces. Strong tailoring appeared in suede coats, biker jackets and asymmetric cut dresses and patchwork trousers. Bold colours in bright blue, orange, yellow, and aqua.

Named Uptown Girl, Giorgio Armani presented an 80s-inspired A/W 2010 collection for Emporio Armani. Furs lined almost every piece of clothing from skirts to trousers to jackets. Using a palette of mostly muted colours such as charcoal, nude and soft marl, Armani sent out pleated skirts, funnel necklines, pinstripes, and jackets that nipped in at the waist.

Victoria's Secret Angels stormed the runway at yesterday's Prada show in Milan. Miranda Kerr, Doutzen Kroes, Alessandra Ambrosio, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Bianca Balti were surprise additions to the show, which presented a Mad Men-inspired collection that seemed focused on the boob-age area.
That's right, Miuccia Prada is all about the breasts for autumn/winter 2010-11, much to the delight of many menfolk I'm sure. According to Miuccia, sexiness is in the covering up, and not baring all.
Her collection consisted of '50s style long-sleeved wool dresses featuring bell skirts, high necks and A-line hems. These were matched with lady-like cropped jackets, cable knits, patterned tights, and library-chic glasses. Click through to watch two videos of the show...
Snow bunnies this one is for you! The boys at D&G have created an Alpine treat for their autumn/winter 2010 collection, sending down the runway a knitwear fest full of one piece jumpsuits, cable sweaters, and reindeer jumpers that Bridget Jones herself wouldn't turn down if given half a chance. Oversized furry boots and ski goggles included, there were also flashes of silk in baggy bloomers, and floral prints in long skirts. Adding a feminine touch were chiffon blouses with pussy bow neck ties. Very cute!
