SAME TIME, SAME PLACE: For the first time since the event bowed in 2009, this year Vogue Fashion’s Night Out in Milan will coincide with the city’s women’s fashion week, kicking off Sept. 17, the day before the first shows. The shopping event has spread across the globe, and participating countries now include Brazil, China, Germany and South Korea. New York City is not partaking in this year's VFNO.
“We are proud to continue to give our support to the fashion industry, which represents one of the most important economic sectors, especially in our country,” said Franca Sozzani, editor in chief of Italian Vogue. “Having reached its fifth edition, by now the event is well-established in [Milan], and involves thousands of people. In addition, Vogue Fashion’s Night Out is also an occasion to support concrete projects benefiting the cities and communities we are a part of.”
Last year, funds raised during Italy’s VFNO events in Milan, Rome and Florence supported citizens of northern Italian cities hard hit by a string of earthquakes in April and May.

Model Alessandra Ambrosio wore this year's bejewelled brassiere, the "floral fantasy bra" worth $2.5 million and covered in precious and semi-precious stones like sapphires, rubies and pink and yellow diamonds.
Other show-stoppers included a caged corset worn by Doutzen Kroes and Aldridge's star-spangled wings that shot sparkles. Vogue-favourite Karlie Kloss also trotted down the runway for the "Circus" and "Calendar Girls" segments.

So yes a million peeps have done Madonna stories and will continue to do , but I think this one is particularly nice because Sky actually looks a bit like Madonna and because it’s Mario Testino. Andrew Richardson did a really nice job with the styling and it’s not too junked up or OTT. And I never understood Sky until last fashion month season when I ended up in a crew with her at the Mugler Afterparty. She is extremely gorgeous, un-pretentious and funny, three things I was not expecting necessarily. So now I get why people are obsessed with her and why she has become a fashion darling.

Stiller has confirmed that he will be returning as male model Derek Zoolander, alongside Owen Wilson - who will be reprising his role as rival Hansel McDonald. Lady Gaga has been tipped to play a potential love interest for the characters.
"Gaga is top of their wish-list," revealeda source. "She has the talent and attitude - and an amazing sense of humour."
It's expected that a sprinkling of fashion faces will make cameo appearances in the sequel.
"We have a script that we really like," Stiller told The Metro. "I just want to make sure it lives up to what fans of the first one want."

We have touched on the idea of high fashion using skeletal make-up styles for shoots, and we are especially impressed by French photographer Pauline Darley for Ever Magazine, where model Clémentine Levy is touched up with a ghostly look. Elegant and subtle.

Giorgio Armani triumphed with his ‘One Night Only’ in Beijing.
It was never going to be a low-key affair. The venue, once a gigantic gas tank in the city’s former industrial zone, had been transformed over the course of two weeks, Armani-style, into a slick cylindrical catwalk, befitting the up-and-coming art district which has sprung up in that area.
With 1000 people invited to attend the show, and a very Armani front row it was too, including Tina Turner, Michelle Yeoh, Fan Bing Bing, Daniel Wu and Shu Qui, guests were treated to the full Giorgio Armani experience with no less than 221 looks on parade, from his lines Emporio Armani, Giorgio Armani and Armani Privé, his couture collection.
After the finale couture dress had posed regally centre stage—a column of liquid-black sequins embellished with a writhing dragon picked out in jade and emerald jewels that glinted in the spotlight—the equally epic Mary J Blige took to the stage (in a Giorgio Armani white suit, naturally) and proceeded to belt out ‘No More Drama’, as if the songstress’s life depended on it. She then reeled off six more songs, including ‘Family Affair’ and a cover version of U2’s ‘One’, much to the delight of her front row and Mr Armani himself, who could be seen bopping in the wings.
As to why Mr Armani wanted to put on this blockbuster show in Beijing, he said: ‘It was a way of celebrating my presence in this culturally rich and fascinating country, a country I got to know well, over ten years ago, long before its economic boom transformed it into the dynamic market it is today.’
‘China is today one of our most important markets and one of the most receptive markets to my message. I felt it was my duty to bring my vision directly to the public by organizing a unique event in a high impact location,’ he added.
Giorgio Armani opened his first boutique in Beijing in 1998; he now boasts 289 stores across the country. And, judging by this event, his intentions are clearly to continue to expand.
