Behind the scenes at Milan Fashion Week

The magic of Milan Fashion Week lies in its unapologetic excess.
There are dresses that take a team of five people just to put on (looking at you, Elisabetta Franchi).
Huge platefuls of spaghetti that must be eaten half-naked in preparation (*cough* Caroline Vreeland *cough*).
Backstage make-up looks that draw their inspiration from the motto “Basic Bitch” (hello, MAC).
And throwbacks starring the late designer Gianni Versace and a *very* young Elton John (yesss, Claudia Schiffer), as five supers of the 90s reunite for the 20th anniversary of Gianni’s death.
Join us on a decadent foray behind the scenes at #MFW 2018.
