At day two of Milan’s men’s fashion week, Tomas Meier showed off his knack for constructing that perfectly tailored leather jacket at Bottega Veneta's early morning show. Black and midnight blue reigned supreme at Emporio Armani's modern cool event, where models sauntered down the runway in luxury cloaks with fedoras, sleek modern leather coats, and impeccable silk suits. Ermanno Scervino was all about argyle, intricate and chunky knitwear, paired with simple gray and blue blazers.

If you're still kicking yourself for missing the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty retrospective, there are twelve ways to fill your fashion exhibit void this year. MTV FORA has put together a solid list of displays across the globe, and it features everything from the Azzedine Alaïa exhibit in Holland (one displayed creation pictured) to the highly-anticipated Louis Vuitton - Marc Jacobs tribute in Paris. See the roundup—which includes three events that you can catch right here in New York—after the jump.

Better late than never: after about a month of the latest issue of Purple Fashion -- Olivier Zahm's well-fed Parisian magazine as notorious for full frontal nudity as for fascinating features on a range of fashion, film, and art world alumnae -- gathering dust on my bookshelf, I finally cracked the hefty rag yesterday only to find a fantastic profile of Miuccia Prada, among other noteworthy pieces. And the interview, conducted by Massimo Torrigiani, reveals a pretty juicy piece of information about what Prada will put putting her FW10 male models in come fashion week. Simply put, you haven't seen the last of men's skirts.

After citing the inspiration for her men's fall 2009 collection as "survival" and producing a walking army of leather and metal hardware, Miuccia Prada has turned to what is most likely the most legitimate fanbase of her more eccentric collection pieces: none other than the New York gays. Prada was spotted parading around uberhip eco-club Greenhouse this past Sunday during club promoter Susanne Bartsch's biggest gay party of the week.

Forget Anna Wintour -- fashion royalty Miuccia Prada recently spoke with CNNAsia in light of her exhibit, "Waist Down," arriving in Seoul, Korea. While the designer doesn't discuss Oprah Winfrey's weight or how needy she is, the interview ("a private person in an ostentatious industry," it's her first television interview in three years) makes for interesting watching. While CNN argues, "she was one of the first designers to be inspired by military dress and vintage dresses" (though I'd argue that designers have sought inspiration in vintage dresses for over a century, and Yves Saint Laurent was doing military-inspired shirts years before Prada entered onto the scene), she is without a doubt an innovator and revolutionary within the business.
