Star Boys

Miuccia Prada recruited some of Hollywood's finest actors to walk in her Prada autumn/winter 2012-13 menswear show, including Jamie Bell, Gary Oldman, William Defoe, Adrien Brody and Tim Roth.

"You realise how short you are," Bell told the Guardian. "You discover nervous twitches in your face you didn't know you had, and you don't know where to look."

Other highlights from the weekend included Vivienne Westwood's catwalk tribute to David Attenborough, which featured bearded models covered in ice and snow. At Emporio Armani, we saw a mix of men and women - the latter of whom were dressed in the label's new pre collection. On Saturday, Christopher Bailey created a "polite but charming" new offering for Burberry, featuring well-cut tweed tailoring and its signatures trenches teamed with colourful Baker Boy-style hats. Although Dolce & Gabbana poster boy David Gandy was missing from the label's show on Saturday, designers Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce impressed with black velvet jackets, slouchy knit jumpers and long dress coats, all of which were covered in intricate gold embroidery.
