Fashion month has just begun and between New York, Madrid, and London, weāve already somewhat lost our bearings in the newsroom. But while some of the worldās biggest fashion cities (plus the increasingly relevant Spanish capital) were bringing explosive collections to the runway, finally sensual again, finally with something to say, equally exciting news has ruffled the feathers of the fashion industry. First and foremost, the announcement of Dario Vitale as Creative Director of Emporio Armani and Giorgio Armani Accessories, followed by the rumour of Gucci potentially joining the Haute Couture calendar and the appointment of Alexandre Arnault, LVMHās nepobaby, to the board of directors of Nike.

At this point, all thatās left to do is make ourselves comfortable, pull out our notebooks, and see what happens next, as we approach Milan Fashion Week.
