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.

Fall-ing For Missoni.
Yesterday BS4F was invited to attend the much anticipated Missoni Men’s Fall 2016 show and I must say I was very impressed!
