Alexis Knox: Milan Fashion Week behind the scenes!

So off to Milan I flew to style Sergei Grinko's On Schedule Milan Fashion week show!

Once I'd settled into my hotel it was off to the fittings and prep before the show!

The location was at an old Military school so there were plenty of soldiers rocking around! As well as this fellow! Specially commissioned by Fashion designer Sergei Grinko the latex clad mannequins were placed amongst the guests seating, to create other wordily presences.

We test the smoke for the show, making a spoOooOOoky backstage feeling!

This area was the pre backstage space, where the models queue up and press are welcome backstage after the show for interviews!

Out front singer Viktoira Modesta sound checks for her performance which will close Sergeis show.

After a long day from flying and fittings all we want is a comfy traditional italain dinner so we head of to this wicked restaurant which had the best comfort food ever! oooh yesss....
