Boys, boys, boys! Excuse us. MEN! It's fashion week in Milan and menswear is stealing the show. The Spring/Summer showcase kicked off Saturday night with shows from Dolce & Gabbana and Giorgio Armani whose designs set the tone of this chic week -- edgy sophistication. Think Chuck Bass. At least we'd like to think Mr. Bass would wear a bejeweled embroidered evening jacket with tapered trousers.

Pitti Uomo and a few other designers harkened back to the British colonial days with khaki coloring, collarless shirts, and tunics. Ah yes, gotta love imperialism. Fashion weeks will include shows from Versace, Missoni, Bottega Veneta, Cavalli, Gucci, Prada, and others. Check out some of the backstage highlights from the week...
