Milan Fashion Week A/W 2008-9: Missoni, Just Cavalli and Emporio Armani

This weekend belonged to Milan Fashion Week where some of world's leading designers took to the catwalk to present their autumn/winter 2008-9 collections. Missoni layered things up with flower prints, ponchos, petal-like collars and of course knitwear. While the Just Cavalli show livened up Milan with a time warp back to the '70s, featuring short boho dresses, wide-brimmed floppy hats, ruffled shirts and peach-coloured suits. There was also a dash of check, flamingo print and of course Cavalli's always-present animal print. At Emporio Armani, wide legged trousers stormed up the runway below nipped-in jackets trimmed with fur. Flashes of fuchsia, purple and blue added interest as well as his use of velvet.

Suzy Menkes chats to Spice Girls at Cavalli menswear show

Yesterday, we asked what the Spice Girls were doing on the catwalk at the end of Cavalli's menswear show in Milan. Well Suzy Menkes from IHT caught up with the girls and Cavalli at the show to quiz them about their collaboration, and more importantly to ask Victoria Beckham what she really thinks of her hubby appearing in billboards in his Armani pants. "I'm proud to see his penis about 25 feet tall... It's enormous," she replied. Okay then... enough said!
