So this is a big fashion week in Milan.
I know this doens't mean much to us living our daily lives here while wondering what Britney is going to do today.
The biggest news so far from Milan would be THE SPICE GIRLS. They made a surprise appearance at the city's Fashion Week as part of a tribute to designer ROBERTO CAVALLI. The pop stars posed with the European fashion guru, who designed the costumes for their ongoing comeback tour. Geri Halliwell told the fashion press, "His clothes make you feel sexy." While bandmate Melanie Brown used the trip to Milan Fashion Week to pay tribute to stylish Italian men.
Beyonce's people made news in Milan as well.
Here's how the New York Post's Page Six told it:
"Tommy Fazio, the men's fashion director for the luxury store, showed up to the Versace men's show in Milan and took his usual front-row seat, and all was well until the late arrival of Beyoncé and Jay-Z.
"According to our insider, the standing-room-only event was pushed even later when Beyoncé's hulking bodyguard didn't have a seat. Our shocked spy said, 'A minion, who obviously had no idea who Tommy was, told him to get up so the guard could sit down.'
"Fazio wasn't pleased and said, 'Fine - I don't stand at shows, so please escort me to the door.' Afterward, Fazio canceled his post-show appointment with the fashion house. Onlookers were shocked, but Beyoncé was blissfully unaware as she went from the show to the GQ party that followed, where she sat in a corner with Jay-Z and 'read the magazine before leaving after 15 minutes.'
"A rep for Versace said, 'Obviously there was some confusion with the show, but it had nothing to do with Beyoncé or her bodyguard. It happens occasionally at shows.'"
We are in the midst of cold weather. This is our reality.
