Jeremy Scott has managed to top last season's McDonald's/Spongebob-themed collection with an even more lurid, fun and recognizable influence: Barbie. And that's it. Just Barbie.

Milan Fashion Week opened with a rather retro collection by Frida Giannini of Gucci: she channeled the early '70s with a sea of knits, suedes, cropped sailor trousers and marching band jackets. There was also a lot of denim — probably more than we're used to seeing on the runway, but, whatever, let denim have its day…

London Fashion Week marches on, and yesterday Tom Ford delivered a typically Fordian, which is to say extremely sexy, collection. (How sexy are we talking? Nipple pasty-level sexy.)

As usual, Betsey Johnson's spring 2015 collection was raunchy, girly, loud, and — above all — fun. While all of her shows are beauteous spectacles, this one was especially great: it was a ruffly, lacy, glittery celebration of marriage equality.

New York Fashion Week marches on: on Thursday, Tadashi Shoji showed his stunning and sumptuous spring 2015 ready-to-wear collection.

Fashion week has started in New York, and thus the BCBG Max Azria spring/summer collection has glided in gracefully, trailing silk and pastels.
