It's all about the perfect suit in Milan. On day three of Men’s Fashion week in the Italian sartorial mecca, with empires such as Canal, Etro, Gucci, Brioni and the hip Z Zegna (pictured top) presenting, men's fashion editors, stylists and buyers had plenty to keep them busy.

Now that the fall/winter 2012 season of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is nearly a month away (seriously, where does the time go?), Mercedes-Benz has revealed their latest "Icon of Style" campaign, shot by photographer Alex Prager. The key visual will debut during MBFW, and stars two very attractive subjects: Dutch supermodel Lara Stone, and the luxury vehicle manufacturer's new SL Roadster.

It’s no secret that London still rules supreme when it comes to street style. Here’s a look at what caught my eye…

Some things to love in London. 1. NAOMI. I mean, there must be formaldehyde coursing through those veins or is it possible to be eternally flawless? Clearly, it's possible.

In a unsurprising turn of events following Alexander McQueen's tragic suicide last week, sales of clothing from the late designer are surging. According to Draper's, "sales of iconic Alexander McQueen pieces soared 1,400% at the end of last week." Big sellers included a an iconic McQueen skull scarf and men's tees, no doubt thanks to the fact that each item is one of the most affordable McQueen pieces one can buy. But, that's not to say tailored jackets and garments of all stripes aren't selling in record numbers as well.

Matthew Ames is known for his simplistic approach to fashion. Drawing inspiration from architectural elements, Ames’ Fall/Winter 2010 collection highlights pure lines and tailoring. Accompanied by classical music, strong silhouettes made of a rich camel colored leather waltzed down the runway. All of the looks were incredibly structured and basic, as was the hair and make up approach. I'm sure the models were rejoicing, as was I, to the flat oxfords worn by every model. The camel colored shoe was not only worn by the women, but also by the male models in the show. At two points in the show a male and female model walked together wearing almost identical outfits. This play on the sexes was interesting, especially after my original intrigue for Rad Hourani's completely unisex line also for Fall 2010. By the eleventh look, pastel colors began emerging from the previously neutral palate. Colors like mint, baby blue, and pink basics were a nice compliment to the line. I found the draping of leather to be one of the highlights for Ames'; the detail in the smallest curve of the material was noticeable and enjoyed. The show was a quiet expression of the craft that is patterning, and what it looks like to have beauty in the basics.

New York Fashion Week is just past its halfway mark, but already a dominating trend for FW10 is fast becoming apparent. It's a return to the '90s on runways from Vena Cava and Joseph Altuzarra to buds Alexander Wang and Erin Wasson. (Not to mention over at the Olympics there's Apolo Ohno's soul patch). And while a love for all things flannel and My So Called Life, from boyfriend jeans and crop tops to hi-liter streaked hair, have been popping up in editorial spreads and sartorial references for the last year on NYC's catwalks this past week the increasing influence of the decade have been too strong to ignore.

Just came from the Rag and Bone presentantion and feeling really inspired. Lots of outdoor inspired fashion. These were mountain men (or boys, rather), bohemians, world travelers who like to wear their eclectic finds all at once. The styling was spot on with lots of layered pieces- chunky sweaters, camo (seen here on Brit model-of the-moment Jeremy Young), and amazing leather backpacks. I couldn't help but feel warm and cozy even with snow still on the ground here in New York.

In recent seasons there's been talk of a small fashion week stimulus package in the form of selling off show seats. Surely not a bad idea given the industry's recent economic struggles, the proposal has been controversial nonetheless. But come New York Fashion Week 2010, which kicks of February 11, two very well-known designers are taking matters into their own hands and hawking tickets to their shows... granted, all proceeds will go to charity. Marchesa just announced that they'll auction off tickets to their fashion week presentation: bids for which are currently clocked in at $1,850. Although, it's not just a VIP pass to the presentation the winner will win. "Not only will the winner receive a collection dress—which she’ll get to choose herself at the design duo’s Manhattan studio—she’ll also get two VIP passes to the label’s February 17 presentation at Chelsea Art Gallery," says Fashionista.

There's a dangerous dichotomy at work in the fashion industry these days and Sao Paulo Fashion Week is the latest culprit. Just yesterday the Associated Foreign Press pointed out a growing concern among Sao Paulo's fashion set about ultra skinny models on the catwalk. "The organizers of Latin America's biggest fashion show raised the alarm Thursday over emaciated Brazilian models apparently following unhealthy US and European trends," reports read. Paulo Borges, the creative director behind the biannual fashion week claimed that the emaciated models in question "are based most of the year in Europe and in the USA where they work majorly." (Basically Borges is implying that it's expectations further north and east that are encouraging Brazilian models to trim down to unhealthy weights.) But that debate in Sao Paulo specifically is nothing new.
