We have one week left — Paris, the crème de la crème of Fashion Week month. Can you keep going? Hear how the pros survive fashion’s most anticipated event. Fashion Week designers and celebrities from Kelly Cutrone to Whitney Port to Rachel Roy weigh in on the dos and don'ts of fashion mania.

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana chose to kick off their Winter parade with a video (watch it here) showing a behind-the-scenes glimpse into their design studio. The footage showed the two designers at work, while women and men in white coats stood close by ready to create their vision. The presentation was incredibly moving (reducing some of the audience to tears) and really gave insight into the brand's Sicilian heritage and undeniable tailoring skills. From that moment on, you realised this collection was going to be special.

Titled Sartorialita, Sicilianita, Sensualita, which translates to tailoring, Sicilianness and sensuality, Natasha Poly opened the show in a pantless double-breasted jacket teamed with boyleg briefs. This set the tone for the entire show which featured countless tailored jackets (70 in the finale), Sicilian-widow style lace, chunky black knits and the odd printed dress in leopard, polka dot and floral styles. The collection remained fuss-free apart from a scattering of gold medallions pinned on bags and trims, and the pantless outfits were easier to swallow when you realised the focus was solely on the incredible craftsmanship of each piece. I get the hype, this collection had me at hello.

Don't forget to catch all the rest from Milan Fashion Week here!

Marni took to the catwalk this week with a very colourful collection. The pieces were quite structured, yet typically fun with layered up items and quirky prints. Clinical-shaped jackets and knee length shorts featured heavily, while plunging V-necks made an unexpected appearance. All of the ensembles were teamed with a range of accessories including knee high socks, loose leather gloves, metal-framed handbags and clogs. In typical Marni form, there will be some pieces you lust after, and some pieces you just don't understand. What do you think of Consuelo Castiglioni's latest offerings?

Ah, Gucci. You can always count on this perennially Italian label to draw an impressive front row crowd and an even more impressive Autumn/Winter collection. Designer Frida Giannini doesn't muck around. Instead of playing with prints, experimenting with shapes or adding tricky details, she keeps things straight to the point. And it works. This season, Giannini has created an utterly wearable collection filled with statement separates and tailoring you'll come to rely on again and again.

We've seen Giannini's take on the man-style pant before, namely in their Spring '09 range, but this time round styles are sleeker, more low-slung, and in a range of earthy neutrals. Shaggy fur jackets, cocoon coats and a statement leopard-print coat (which I can already see Rachel Zoe running for) were styled over streamlined sheath dresses, while thigh-high suede boots were given a classy makeover when teamed with opaque tights in both black and Winter white. The accessories — always a standout — were kept more discreet than usual with only a few sleek gold cuffs, statement eyewear and minimal monogramming featuring on bags and belts. Top models Anja Rubik, Abbey Lee Kershaw and Karlie Kloss looked as sophisticated as ever in this mature collection.
