>> From Prada's rocket-propelled slingbacks to the shoes that Lindsey Wixson says caused her to fall on the Versace runway, we've rounded up Milan's best pumps, wedges, and sandals for next Spring. See them all in the slideshow.
>> While pilfering from the guys is nothing new — the Fall 2011 runways of DKNY, Ralph Lauren, and Marc Jacobs were chock-full of menswear-inspired styles, from tuxes to tweed — we've taken the concept one step further and gathered up some of the coolest meant-for-men pieces around. In fact, these styles are so chic, it would be a crime to let the boys keep them to themselves; there's a chartreuse Jil Sander "document holder" that would make the perfect oversized clutch, a slim-cut teal blazer that would look so chic over a floral dress, and much, much more. Click through to shop all the picks.
>> Yesterday's heavy-hitting show schedule made for a full day of fun backstage at Milan Fashion Week. Not only was there plenty of pin-up girl posturing at Dolce & Gabbana — in bejeweled maillots, no less — but also lots of madcap twirling in tomato-printed skirts and aubergine-patterned dresses. At Ferragamo, models pranced in flowing gowns fit for a night in the tropics; at Missoni, oversized fans provided the perfect coy accessory. But the most delicious thing spotted backstage? Earrings made from pasta at Dolce & Gabbana. Get a peek at all this and more, here in the slideshow.

>> Milan Fashion Week may be drawing to a close, but that doesn't mean the style on the streets is any less inspired. In fact, the second-to-last day in Italy may have offered up some of the chicest street-snapped ensembles yet — from Giovanna Battaglia's mixed-print mash-up to Taylor Tomasi Hill's high-contrast black-and-white pairing. Also stunning was a jeweled gold-brocade miniskirt spotted on both Anna Dello Russo and Bianca Brandolini d'Adda. See how the two styled it — plus all the looks from day five — here in the slideshow.
