Ciao, fashionistas! Every single day of MFW the crew of BS4F attends fashion shows and presentations, and we usually just write about them independently. However, today it will be different! Reading this article, you’ll be able to spend the whole day at the Milan Fashion Week, as I’m telling you all about how we spent this Saturday at the presentations. We will make a whole fashion trip: start at Kiton, continue to Duvetica, AlbertoGuardiani, and LeSilla, and finish at the Tods re-see.

Raf Simons Is Parting Ways With Dior.
After three-and-a-half year as Creative Director, Raf Simons decided to leave Maison Dior and it’s so sad. Just few weeks ago he turnt the Louvre “Cour Carrée” into a breathtaking delphiniums hill for the S/S 2016 Dior fashion show, and that was his last one. “It is after careful and long consideration that I have decided to leave my position as creative director of Christian Dior’s women’s collection,” Simons said “It is a decision based entirely and equally on my desire to focus on other interests in my life, including my own brand, and the passions that drive me outside my work.”

On Monday night, our favorite fashionistas gathered to attend the coveted annual Met Ball in NYC. This year’s theme was China: Through the Looking Glass and people definitely did not disappoint. Here are a few of my picks for looks to be remembered. Some are amazing and others are extremely boring. I would like to add that in the spirit of positivity, there will not be a worst dressed. For individuals whose style was a little challenged this year, I shall simply wish them better luck next year. Without further ado, the gowns!

Suit 101: The white shirt – camicie su misura
Note: This is part of an ongoing series known as Suit 101. A white shirt can create emotion, even if it is just a shirt. And if we look at shirt-making as an artform and an act of craftsmanship, then we began to sense the possibilities of making this staple…something special. – Sonya Glyn Nicholson, Parisian Gentlemen Bespoke shirts are no stranger to the man’s world — akin to how stilettos are no stranger to a woman’s world (Feminists may argue otherwise but let’s not get too deep here).
