With fashion week under way, we know how hectic it can be and how there is too many shows to keep up with, so we are going to do all the work for you and narrow it down to the good, the bad and the most bizarre shows.
We are going to pick our favourite collections from each fashion week, the ones that let us down and the most bizarre. We are going to give you all the important information to keep you in the know. We will cover the Paris, London, Milan and New york shows and all you have to do is check back each week to see who made it to the final cut.
New York Fashion week highlights...
The good: Altuzarra
Our NYFW favourite is AltuZarra's modern victorian collection. With the set and music creating an eerie vibe, it made to be a classic show with a twist.
Models showcased timeless pieces, with monochrome and red as occurring colours. Long boots under flowing dresses gave the collection a more versatile look, but with every model wearing a headband it brought it straight back to victorian times.
The set seen a modern take on victorian gardens as different size bushes were perfectly rounded off on a shining white modern floor.
The mix of old and new made us fall in love and we had to give Altuzarra's masterpiece the 'good' spot.
The bizarre: Marc Jacobs
Marc Jacobs showcased a street themed 90's collection, with the models wearing a range of cool hats with an over the top use of gold chains to finish the put together look. You can how it landed a spot in our bizarre category, because we couldn't see ourselves wearing this down to the local food shop.
The catwalk had two elements, firstly the models paced down a long wooden hall leading onto the second part which led out onto the New York streets creating a very urban setting that passers by could watch.
The 'streets' theme was consistent throughout and made for a show that will be remembered for ever, but we can't help but look at the bizarre side of it.
London Fashion Week highlights...
The good: Burberry
For our LFW 'good' show we picked the typically British burberry show, which seen a rock band play live whilst models walked the minimal set.
The collection had Shakespearean-gothic vibe, with the use of big collars, lace and pearls it was dark and romantic. Adding to the romantic theme, the audience were placed around statues making for a simple but abstract runway.
The show was so good that if we had an 'excellent' category it would have made it.
The bizarre: Ashley Williams London
For our LFW bizarre show we picked Ashley Williams' industrial-rodeo themed show. We seen models grace the catwalk wearing a mix of colourful tartan and floral prints.
From the hair to the clothing everything was a mix-match that fitted. Ashley Williams showcased a new range of T-shirts and hoodies with fun slogans, which have seen to be her best seller in past collections.
Placed in the centre of the catwalk were destroyed objects with overgrown plants. In the middle of the chaos models sat on chairs overlooking the models walking.
Although Ashley Williams made it to our 'bizarre' category, we secretly love it.
Milan Fashion Week highlights...
The good: Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini
For our 'good' pick of MFW we have chosen the spectacular Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini. The show had an elegant rock chick vibe throughout. With models wearing classy bows wrapped around low ponytails, frilly mesh dresses and black chunky boots to even the look out, this has been our favourite show of the whole season.
The colour palette for the collection was monochrome with a big dash of crystals. All different types of frills were used to create flowing textures and belts were used throughout.
The simple set with he pink stairs the models walked down gave the show an extra touch of feminine flavour and left the collection to take the limelight.
The bizarre: Moschino
For Moschino it was quite a different show, as there is normally one very distinguished theme and for their Fall/Winter 2017 show it was quite hard to find a consistent theme.
The models walked out of the iconic red theatre curtains and onto the rectangle catwalk. Moschino went for a neutral palette with pops of bright colours. One model showcased a candelabra on her head and one even wore the iconic red curtains as a dress, but it wasn't as 'far out' as Moschino normally goes, so in Moschino's case we were let down and wanted a better theme, so Moschino took our 'bizarre' place for being the most random.
Paris Fashion Week Highlights...
The good:

Dior's newly appointed creative designer Maria Grazia Chiuri is on to her third season and it was a big contrast to her frequent fairy tale inspired theme. We seen the latest Dior collection turn dark, with black and midnight blue embroidered tulle dresses it's going to be our Christmas parties 2017 inspiration!
With fake fog moving across the catwalk to give extra wintery/creepy vibes, the glitter covering the tulle dresses sparkled as the models emerged from the fog. We couldn't help but fall in love with tones the tones of glitter and berets, so Dior quickly became our favourite of Paris Fashion Week.
The bizarre

And finally, for our Paris Fashion Week bizarre choice we had to choose Rihanna's collection with sportswear brand Puma, FENTYXPUMA. The collection showcased sports pieces in bright colours and tartan being a recurring pattern, but we just can't get our head around the fact that none would wear this to the gym! It may be sport luxes but it has taken a step too far this time.
We are massive fans of the over the knee boots though, we'll take a pair in size four please Rihanna!
