Top 10 Milan menswear shows

1. Missoni knitwear and a freezing Milan evening could be the most perfect pairing since Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield. Sixteen models lined up al fresco to showcase the Italian family's latest menswear collection. The star of the show was a super-cute toddler who made a break for the stage and ran in and out of the assembled models.

2. The absence of Marni from the show schedule leaves a hole in our lives; luckily it was filled we when saw the new collection at the showroom. There is a sporty feel to the fabric and silhouette mixed with precision layering, and perfectly proportioned tailoring. We like. Photograph: PR

3. Jil Sander's fast-paced soundtrack and choreography excited us almost as much as Raf's collection. There were beautifully cut modern coats in both wool and quilted puffas (fast emerging as a trend), and the cream fisherman's jumper is an early must-have. Photograph: Damien Meyer/AFP/Getty Images

4. The earth moved at Prada - well, it did for GQ and Suzy Menkes when the front row collapsed. Meanwhile, back on the catwalk 70s patterns and colours were a welcome break from grey and black. Beautiful camel coats with statement collars were standout. Photograph: PR

5. Start growing your hair now and stock up on Brylcreem: A/W10 is all about hairstyles. Our favourites are the gravity-defying quiffs Guido Palau created at Bottega Veneta. Photograph: PR

6. Pringle of Scotland entertained us with an animated film by the illustrator David Shrigley on the life of a Pringle jumper. On the catwalk the knitwear, it goes without saying, was sensational, as were the accessories. Our favourite piece was the huge furry mittens that put us in mind of Sesame Street.

7. Best designer bow went to Vivienne Westwood. Well, it was more of a designer push - she was wheeled down the cardboard-box catwalk on a hospital bed by the models. Photograph: PR

8. Dolce and Gabbana treated us to the best finale of the week: 90 models in vests storming down the catwalk and out of the building. Enjoy the model stampede for yourself at dolcegabbana.com. The film used as a backdrop is Giuseppe Tornatore's 'Baaria', a stunning visual delight depicting gritty Scillian life, a theme prevalent in the collection. Photograph: PR

9. As much as we enjoyed David Sims' collaborative film with Alexander McQueen last season, we would be lying if we said we didn't miss the spectacle that is the McQueen show. This was a welcome return to the catwalk with a collection of fabrics and intricate prints that quite simply blew us away. Photograph: PR

10. Military was a strong theme of the week - our favourite examples were at Burberry. We loved the use of denim shirting under military coats, and can only hope Christopher Bailey repeats the sheepskin-lined boots for womenswear. Photograph: Helen Seamons
