Having just participated in the live panel discussion, Rosanna Falconer shares her thoughts on the Gareth Pugh show. Hear what she has to say about his bin bag dresses in the sound bite above!

Tune in at 18:30 GMT for the Gareth Pugh live panel discussion on Wednesday 27 February 2013.

We welcome back Lou Stoppard as chairwoman, who has recently returned from her coverage of Milan Fashion Week. Stoppard will be joined by a host of industry experts including head of digital at Matthew Williamson Rosanna Falconer, fashion editor at Vice UK Daryoush Haj-Najafi, fashion commentator Caryn Franklin and renowned curator Sir Norman Rosenthal.

Last season saw Pugh create a highly-praised interpretation of a mourning Spanish mistress. During our exclusive re-see with Stoppard, the designer expressed his difficulty in working with two-dimensional, traditional fashion media. He says: 'It’s very frustrating because you lose [details of the garments] but how else do you communicate your ideas? There is a whole kind of mechanism around how fashion works and people are very resistant...they don’t want anyone rocking the boat. I can try and push against that as much as I can, but when it comes down to it, there’s this very definite system and hierarchy about how to do things'.

This time around, be sure to watch our live panel discussion for an in-depth look at Gareth Pugh’s Autumn/Winter 2013 collection!

Keep track of SHOWstudio's collections coverage for the latest shows from Paris Fashion Week.

Last night kicked off with a leather and chainmail vampire-ish Anthony Vaccarello collection with striking fashion illustrations by Jowy Maasdamme. Damir Doma was first up this morning with an androgynous, austere collection of interestingly proportioned separates. 

Stay tuned for the best Tweets and Instagrams from those at the shows, NOWFASHION catwalk images and show reports by Kiki Georgiou. Illustrations by Jowy Maasdamme will also be provided for selected Paris shows which can be viewed on SHOWstudio's Tumblr.

You can also look forward to the Gareth Pugh live panel discussion chaired by our recently returned Milan reporter, Lou Stoppard. Tune in at 18:30 GMT on 27 February 2013 for the lively debates on Pugh’s anticipated show.

Make sure to visit the collections page throughout the day as Dries van Noten, Gareth Pugh, Rue du Mail and Mugler are next up on today’s schedule. 

The first wonderful illustrations from Jowy Maasdamme are now available for the Anthony Vaccarello collection. Keep updated with her unique and beautiful illustrations of Paris Womenswear A/W 2013 through our Tumblr and our comprehensive collections coverage.

House of Flora launch their Autumn/Winter 2013 collection in a dramatic fashion film directed by SHOWstudio's head of fashion film Marie Schuller. Founded by Flora McLean, House of Flora is an avant-garde headwear label that creates distinctive pieces for the catwalk, fashion campaigns and collectors. Despite being a headwear label, the brand has expanded to include commercial jewellery, eyewear and clothing. 

With art direction by Marlon Rueberg, House of Flora showcases the brand's latest creations, filmed against a rumbling stormy backdrop which sets the scene for an epic post apocalyptic vision. The models are seen running in slow motion and shouting their silent screams while decked in hats and jewellery all by the House of Flora.

McLean is often influenced by surrealism, constructivism and the Bauhaus movement, with strong geometric and architectural forms. However, this collection's grungy makeup and textured styling provide an urban nomadic tribe aesthetic.

House of Flora is launched on SHOWstudio to coincide with the label’s offerings at Paris Autumn/Winter 2013 collections. So make sure to watch this high-octane fashion film and be the first to see House of Flora’s latest avant garde range.

As Milan passes the show baton on to Paris, we welcome Jowy Maasdamme, our new resident artist and the illustrator behind the blog ISEEJANEMARY. Viewing fashion as a way to gauge the spirit of the age, she will interpret and illustrate the latest looks fresh from the French capital’s catwalks. 

Having originally trained in law, Maasdamme soon abandoned the books and picked up a pencil, teaching herself the art of illustration. She primarily uses ink and pencil and prefers a simple palette of black and white. Within these limitations, Maasdamme has carved out a distinctive aesthetic that is both dark and feminine.

Favouring the fantasy of fashion over fashion itself, Maasdamme takes inspiration from a diverse mix of sources, including Disney fairytales, punk, nature and nightmares. Her macabre figures are reminiscent of Tim Burton sketches and emphasise both fragility and transformation.

Keep your eyes on our Tumblr from Tuesday 26 February 2013 to discover Maasdamme’s fantastical take on Anthony Vaccarello's Paris collection. Her drawings will also be uploaded to our Collections pages each day.

Back from snow lagged Prague. Haunted by black Madonnas and wide eyed saints, Kafka's pain, and jagged gravestones in the Jewish cemetery. But climbing up to the castle and finding the Casper Freidrich moonlit painting was a blast.

As Milan Fashion Week draws to a close, Lou Stoppard shares her reports on the final few days of noteworthy Italian design on offer. Her latest reports on the Autumn/Winter 2013 collections are now in. The list includes among others Dolce e Gabbana, Marni, Jil Sander and Versace.

Stoppard describes the opulent garments at Dolce e Gabbana as ‘so ornate they could have been lifted straight off the eye-popping ceiling at Venice’s St Mark's Basilica’. Emporio Armani stuck to the house's DNA of simple elegance, whereas Marni ‘proved that there is a beauty in toughness and a lightness in the dark’.

Other highlights include a display of ‘flirty femininity’ at Emilio Pucci, Jil Sander’s sophomore collection and a well-accomplished showing at Trussardi. For Bottega Veneta the ‘narrative and fantasy of last season had been replaced by lines, pleats and folds to create shapes that were challenging and conceptual’, explains Stoppard.

In Versace’s ‘Vunk’ collection, ‘bin-liners were skin-tight shiny vinyl dresses, biker jackets came with fur detailing created by American artists The Haas Brothers’. While Stoppard noted that Moschino made an homage to Scotland and British youth culture incorporating ‘St Trinian's minis, fitted blazers, ankle socks and fetishistic riding caps’.

You might have just got a tiny taste of the reviews here, so make sure catch up on the events of Milan Fashion Week and the full details of each show on our collections page now.

With Milan A/W 13 coming to an end, delve into fashion’s current debates via the latest on demand footage of our live panel discussions.  

Replacing safety pins with nails, Donatella Versace presented 'Vunk', her modern ode to punk in her latest show. The Versace live panel discussion was chaired by fashion commentator Caryn Franklin and fashion editor Victoria Higgs, GQ Style's editor at large Princess Julia and fashion writer Camilla Morton with debates centering on the sex appeal of the Versace woman.

Whilst Versace’s references were easy to read, Miuccia Prada’s show left industry insiders guessing about the inspiration. ‘With those projections, the fan and the movement of the air, Prada is juxtaposing a lot of ideas,’ commented artist and panelist Carlo Brandelli. 

Veteran panelist and PR guru Mandi Lennard returned to our Motcomb St studio to lead conversations about the new collections from Jil Sander and Dolce & Gabbana. Recap on the discussions to hear how industry insiders answered Lennard’s thought-provoking questions, such as ‘Can established brands like Dolce & Gabbana still be relatable for a younger generation?'

Finally, unpicking the understated but undeniable luxury of Bottega Veneta, fashion writer Hywel Davies led an insightful conversation between shoe designer Georgina Goodman, creative consultant Mimma Viglezio and illustrator Sue Dray. 

Catch up with our live panel discussions for expert analysis of the latest concepts and clothes from Italy’s luxury labels.

Fiona Gourlay has been busy providing illustrative coverage for select shows during Milan Fashion Week. Today, Gourlay will be finishing her stint as our in house illustrator, creating artworks for Giorgio Armani. 

Over the weekend, Gourlay has been hard at work in our Motcomb Street studios. Bottega Veneta was the first to be pencilled by the illustrator, with the contemporary, classic silhouettes of Tomas' designs being the focus for her drawings. This was followed closely by Jil Sander with geometric mirrored detailing and traditional tailoring techniques.  

Emporio Armani and Dolce & Gabbana were the final shows of the weekend which Gourlay covered. Her expressive mark making techniques and innovative use of materials provided a unique take on the textures and colours apparent in the collections. 

Be sure to check out all her coverage of Milan on our Tumblr page and stay tuned as we invite a new fashion illustrator, Jowy Massdamme, to cover our final city, Paris.
