Milan Fashion Week has begun with Elena Miro showing off her 2010-2011 Fall/Winter Collection. Her show drew significant attention due to the models showing off a different look. Apparently, the days of super skinny models are out of style. The fashion industry does not want to encourage models or aspiring models to starve themselves. This show was put together to “help real women to feel confident and at peace with themselves”, Elena Miroglio.

One of the highlights from London Fashion Week was Naomi Campbell’s The Fashion for Relief Show to benefit Haiti. The show as also accompanied by an auction. Celebrities such as Geri Halliwell, Amanda Holden, Kate Moss, and more participated.

Tragically, famed designer Alexander McQueen committed suicide on February 11, 2010. Sadly, the week before the designer lost his mother.
