This frosty February, all the excitement will focus on an issue of vital importance: what to wear in autumn/winter 2009.
We’ve sifted through socialite schmooze and tabloid talk, passing fancies and radical revivals, to bring you absolutely the best of the best—designers, labels, shows, parties—on one page. Check fashionweek.unlike.net daily for all the latest updates and event details.
