Swide Magazine by Dolce&Gabbana

Bryan Boy's presence at Milan Fashion Week was more impatiently awaited than that of any top editor or Hollywood celebrity (who knew that much and therefore stayed home). We Swide-stalked him around the Dolce & Gabbana shows and offices in the hope of catching a little of that BB magic.

Tiring job too, for Bryan was everywhere, demanded as he was; and while expectations were high, he most certainly didn't disappoint and brought to Milan (alongside suitcases of bags and furs) his much-needed, highly refreshing sense of humour and joie de vivre. All of it seasoned with his trademark wit - most rewarding stalking ever for us at Swide.

First stop: the D&G front row.

A season after *that* epic front row moment that blew the media's socks off; now a front row veteran Bryan is happily posing alongside fellow front bloggers Scott and Garance. While some may be feel as though they were playing gooseberry, this snap is all about Bryan; and can you actually think of anyone else capable of upstaging Anna Piaggi?

Jet-lagged though he may have been (where are the telltale signs, we want that skin!), Bryan Boy is both professional and friendly, meaning an extensive posing session around the Metropol. Crowd-pleasing is a skill, at which Bryan is an expert.

Day two: in Dolce & Gabbana (chic black) land.

As seen on Twitter! The much-awaited surprise (probably more so by us curious as a fictional striped cat) specially sent in by Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce (here for a reminder); Bryan came in to the Dolce & Gabbana offices and despite his eagerness to find out what was lying inside he was ever so professional and took a few seconds to pose for our excited Swide camera. (Is there such thing as a posing gene?)

Upon unwrapping the furry delight: black, foxy, sleek, fabulous - best fashion pairing ever? At that point we couldn't wait to catch him wearing it. Which actually happened a few days later...

... At the Dolce & Gabbana show.

Old friends reunited - or at least that is how it looked at Domenico and Stefano were prompt to embrace their darling blogger. Too sweet for further comments (so sweet we won't be needing sugar in our coffees today).

After delighting the backstage photographers it was on with serious stuff - at least that's how it looked to us Swide stalkers (we failed to become Swide eavesdroppers what with lovely Eugene's hairdryers on full blast... no offense Eugene, you knew we love you too). We shall find out more...

Or maybe we have just watched too many spy films and Stefano and Bryan were just catching up as friends do? One thing we can say is that Bryan's popping up backstage acted some sort of stylish Prozac as it left everyone happy and relaxed.

Oh and look at THE fur! Match made in heaven - where Bryan is a fierce dark angel flying above the rest.

The most stylish of full circles - ending this Milanese Dolce vita on the Dolce & Gabbana front row, looking as though that was his natural habitat. A comforting thought as we just could not imagine going through another fashion week without Bryan's fantastic jokes. Till next time (promise, we'll try to take the stalking down a notch).
