New York, London, now Milan and next week, Paris. Fashion Weeks are taking over the major capitals of the world. Fashion shows, parties, endless opportunities to see and be seen. Last night saw arguably the most glamorous of them all. The AmFAR Gala took place in Milan, with the best of the best clambering for invites, and then showing off their presence with thousands of instagram posts and tweets. THIS was the event they were proud to be seen at.

Why so? Because it was not only the most enticingly-glamorous event of them all, but it was directed by a social conscience. The Foundation of Aids Research brought them all - supermodels, Victoria's Secret Angels, Hollywood icons and social royalty - together to raise money and awareness for the vital cause. They were there to have fun. They were there to cement their status. More importantly, they were there to do good. If only all charity events would have the social standing that AmFAR epitomises.

See you there next year... we wish.

We LOVE Stella McCartney. Not just because she and her designs are incredibly stylish, incredibly gorgeous and incredibly fun (see above), but because they are incredibly sustainable, too. McCartney knows how to play around, sending Cara and co down the catwalk shining brighter smiles and bolder dance moves than Paris Fashion Week has seen before. But she also knows how to make her brand as ethical as it is fun-loving. This season, all the wood used in her accessories (such as the shoes seen on the catwalk above), is FSC Certified, emphasising the brand's commitment to responsible forest management. So we suggest you go out, buy some of those gorgeous items and do your bit to keep the world's forests as beautiful and hospitable as they are today. After all, every little helps...

Fashionable Giving

She wood, woodn't she.
