All the familar faces were front row at the Gucci show this afternoon (Glenda! Hamish! Carine!), but one face we haven't seen since Berlin is Vogue Germany editrix Christiane Arp. Enquiring minds had to know...

We didn't see you at NYFW!
Unfortunately I couldn't make it! I had a bad flu because it was winter in Germany.

You were missed!
Hopefully!

What do you take when you have the flu?
Just like everybody else, I take hot lemon. I follow the advice of my mum and stay in bed.

You're back! What do you expect from a Gucci show?
High glam! I loved the last show. I like this style, and I expect that glamour we saw from the last show.

What's your favorite meal when you're in Milano?
I like the simple Italian cuisine, which is pasta with tomatoes. All of us that come to Milan love going to dinner, even if it's midnight.

Will you be able to get your running in while you're here?
I try to. I'm here for five days and hopefully I'll manage to go for a run on three mornings.

Anything you're looking forward to the most this week?
Because I wasn't in New York or London, I'm hoping that I can have as much as much inspiration for the upcoming season. We don't work in the six month terms anymore, so when you see something, you want to be inspired for the next issues.

Which city has the best people watching?
We call it wanderzirkus in German, which means traveling circus. We're all a part of this! Everywhere I go, everybody goes.
