Milan Fashion Week is well underway and it's been a return to form for the glamorous Italian city.

Thursday saw Raf Simons present his debut collection for Prada, which was unveiled via a pre-recorded runway sequence, while Giorgio Armani - the first designer to cancel attendance for a fashion show back in February - showcased his collection for Emporio Armani in the form of a short film.
Alberta Ferreti and Valentino were among the few brands who hold physical shows to a socially-distanced audience this weekend.
