The ongoing pandemic has meant another unusual season of shows for Milan Fashion Week, though fear not, designers are rallying round to bring you the best of their AW21 collections. New York Fashion Week has kicked things off with a mix of physical and digital shows, while London Fashion Week has gone entirely digital, presenting gender neutral shows as well as a mix of men and womenswear. And Paris Fashion Week will end the month with its own hybrid format.

Milan kicks off on Tuesday 23rd February and will run until Monday 1st March 2021, so get those dates in your diary.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
