No city does fashion like Milan and for a week in February the eyes of the fashion world are focused on the city during Milan Fashion Week.

There are around 100 catwalk shows scheduled as the top names in the industry showcase their latest designs for autumn and winter 2008/2009.

Donatella Versace, Dolce & Gabbana and Giorgio Armani will all be there for the biggest week in the Milanese fashion world.

The whole city will be buzzing and the media, the buyers, the designers and all the beautiful people descend on the restaurants and bars to see and be seen.

Young designers will get a chance too as new talents are given the opportunity during the industry's Milano Moda Donna event.

Non-profit making association Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana (the National Chamber for Italian Fashion) organises Fashion Week and promotes the development of Italian fashion.

Milan Fashion Week runs from February 18th to 25th and is held at Fiera Milano.
