...Milan
   

Milan is returning to a longer fashion week after experimenting with a shorter 5 day schedule that resulted in numerous complains from buyers and the media.
The event at one point lasted 11 days before being shortened!
The new 7 day timetable is viewed as a reasonable compromise. Milan fashion week is known for its inherent chaos because there is no centralized venue and people are left to their own wits to rush from show to show.

...Shanghai
    Shanghai Fashion Week is being slammed for the poor treatment the international media recieved. Many fashion reporters could not get into many of the shows because the tickets were given out to governemnt officials as perks. Officially called The Audi Shanghai Fashion Week 2005 International Fashion Showcase, hosted by the People's Government of Shanghai it was a beauractic nightmare. Even with many stellar participants including Paco Rabanne and Karl Lagerfeld many observers are wondering if Shanghai is ready for the bigtime.  
...New York
  After an astonishing rebound from a cocaine scandal is Kate Moss about to repeat the same mistakes that got her into trouble in the first place? The disgraced British Supermodel seemed to be preparing to allow trouble maker boyfriend Pete Doherty back into her life.  Pete checked into the same Arizona rehad center that Kate received treatment for her drug problem as a precondition of their getting back together. The rocker only lasted a week before he left the program. Kate was furious that he quit and swore never to see him again. But with Kate and Pete, never seems to last about a week.  
...New York
    Sharon Bush and daughters Lauren, 21, and Ashley 16, were spotted in the Air France economy line at Newark Airport on their way to the prestigious, Le Bal Cri llon des Debutantes. Ashley will be coming out at the world famous debutant ball. The event is held at a exclusive Place de la Concorde Hotel at the bottom of the Champs-Elyse. The ex-wife of presidential brother Neil Bush was wearing a fur coat and high heels and carrying a Louis Vuitton bag. The image of Bush family members in the cheap line could be a very convincing argument for the need for President Bush’s tax relieve program for the rich. Lauren came out at the same event five years ago on the arm of a Polish Prince. Now she is frequently seen on the arm Ralph Lauren’s son David.
