Watch the full-length video of the fall/winter 2012 Dolce & Gabbana womenswear fashion show.

Nicola Formichetti gave me a personal preview of the fall/winter 2012 Mugler collection yesterday afternoon. They’re inspired by insects, geishas and ninjas this season. Mugler also collaborated with Christian Louboutin for the shoes. Bag fanatics take note — he’s thinking of introducing bags and small leather goods next year. I can’t wait to see watch the Mugler fashion show tonight!

Immediately after the Moschino fashion show, I visited the fall/winter 2012 Furla presentation. They’ve collaborated with performance artist Sissi to launch their new collection of very spacious and reversible tote bags dubbed “Furla and I”. A mini stage was installed in the venue where models, in white leggings, rotated, holding the new bags. They also presented several new additions to the Furla Canda collection — I like the white Furla Candy bag with the dalmatian print on ponyskin.

I have to be honest — I could count, with three fingers, the reasons why I would attend a 9AM show: it has to be a brand or designer that I personally love, to show my support to an advertiser, and lastly, a friend is designing/styling the show. It could also be a combination of both or all of the above. In any case, I had fun at the Moschino show a couple of days ago. I’m obsessed with backpacks as of late and these gold-chained knapsacks from their fall/winter 2012 collection are soo cute. They remind me of backpacks Chanel did back in the dark ages but the handle made them — multifunctional in the sense that you can also carry them as a handbag. Love it!

Anna dello Russo, who styled the collection, wore the backpack after the show.

Here’s the view from my seat at the Versus fall/winter 2012 fashion show in Milan.

Here’s the view from my seat at the ultra decadent fall/winter 2012 Dolce & Gabbana fashion show earlier in the afternoon.

Here’s the view from my seat at the fall/winter 2012 Marni fashion show this morning.

A trip to Milan won’t be complete without paying Prada (aka handing out cash you’ve earned in between seasons) a visit. I picked up two of their stunning spring/summer 2012 shoes before Fashion Week began.

Black mesh bootie by 3.1 Phillip Lim, houndstooth loafer gifted by Versace, sneakers by Pierre Hardy (click HERE to buy), golf shoes from Prada.

Something funny really happened earlier this morning at the Marni show. Before taking Anna’s photo, she quipped, ‘wearing your diamonds today…’. I couldn’t help but smile AND wished my cubic zirconia aka broken glass necklace from J. Crew were from Graff instead. He he he ;-)

Always a delight to see Mama Wintour!
