New York Fashion Week got underway last week, starting the bi-annual run of shows where the world’s top fashion houses showcase their Autumn/Winter 2015 collections. In London, Naomi Campbell will be opening proceedings with her Fashion For Relief show that will be raising awareness of the war against Ebola. In Milan, Gucci will be showing their first collection since the sudden departure of creative director Frida Giannini in January. While in Paris, designer Rick Owens plans to show a little more than his usual seasonal collection.

RBS 6 Nations

6 February – 21 March
Twickenham Stadium, London / Stade de France, Paris / Millennium Stadium, Cardiff / Stadio Olimpico, Rome / Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh / Aviva Stadium, Dublin

Although all eyes will be on Twickenham when the Rugby World Cup returns to the UK in September, the RBS 6 Nations is already proving to be the warm-up to be reckoned with. Every year loyal fans traverse the continent’s capitals to catch the matches, which this year will see England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France and Italy compete for a newly designed trophy. England will be hoping to improve on their 2014 performance, when they became the first team to win the Triple Crown (by beating Wales, Scotland and Ireland), while losing out on the championship to another home nation team, Ireland.
