It's the start of Fashion Month, so of course there's plenty to keep the eyes and senses tingling. NYFW has kicked off from the epicentre of American fashion, The Big Apple. While we keep our gazes trained on the next big showing on the lateral end of the world, across the pond, there's plenty to keep in mind on our own shores and beyond. From Bottega Veneta's first editorial venture to McMullin's rebrand, take a look at everything in fashion this week.
