What happens when you take a bunch of editors and bloggers and mix them with some of the most exclusive designer fashion and the most delicious food in the world? It's a heady concoction that comes together twice a year in Florence, Italy thanks to uber-boutique LUISAVIAROMA. Between amazing meals in the hills of Tuscany and the legendary Boboli Gardens of Florence, we styled a shoot of our favorite looks for Fall/Winter 2013. And to cap it all off, we celebrated grunge and punk as they touch on fashion with a major concert. Stay tuned for all the photos from our shoot (designer alert: Dolce & Gabbana! Proenza Schouler! Alexander McQueen!) but in the meantime, check out all that we did (and ate).

Hedi Slimane rocked the fashion world with his Fall 2013 grunge collection, and he's not done making waves in his role as creative director of Saint Laurent. The designer has turned his exquisite eye towards rethinking the brand's boutiques. Following Paris and Shanghai, the new NYC flagship, located in SoHo, offers a first in-store shot of key Pre-Fall items.

The store itself is a master work of geometry with custom-designed jewelry cases, matte-finish Italian marble shelves, and even vintage 20th-century pieces handpicked by Slimane dotted throughout. The mirrored dressing room opens up to the iconic skylights that define the neighbourhood's architecture. And did we mention the product? The full range of accessories — from Janis pumps to the Duffle purse — flank the entrance.

Exclusive pieces include the coat Courtney Love wore in the Music Project campaign, along with accessories in colors specific to the location. And while the boutique offers private shopping services upon request, consider this your own personal tour.

Look no further than his killer cocktail dresses, including a black fit-and-flare with a sheer yolk. Elegant daytime luncheon? Saab's creamy white suit with an overcoat-cape-hybrid is spot-on.

Saab is at his finest turning out a mix of sharp daywear, including trim skirtsuits (and even a sweatshirt!), and major dresses for the evening with a mix of swingy skirts, slits-to-there and lots of peekaboo details. Indulge your inner starlet and see all the photos from the Elie Saab Fall 2013 collection right here.

Miuccia Prada took Miu Miu in a new direction for Fall 2013, and this is one trip we'd like to tag along on. The emphasis was on skirts, dresses, and outerwear with a long, often lean silhouette. Zip-front knit dresses went past the knees, ending in surprise pops of pastel polka dots. Astrakhan coats were a standout, including a belted one in navy. While the clothing had a sporty, feminine quality, Miu Miu shoes grounded the looks with thick curved heels, lug soles, and colorblocked metallic details. The brand's beloved bags ranged from structured doctor bags in bright pastels to a bucket bag that may indeed be the world's chicest luggage.

Marc Jacobs has delivered a knockout Fall 2013 Louis Vuitton collection, emphasizing the intimacy and luxury of boudoir dressing. With a circular set of hotel doors surrounding an audience that included Naomi Watts and Jessica Chastain, models like Kate Moss and Lindsey Wixson showed off ladylike looks with plenty of sex appeal. Tweed suits with nipped-in waists had degrade sequins while panne velvet dresses clung to the body. The house's famous bags were rendered in fur and other luxe materials, leaving the logos off the runway. Click through to see all the photos from Louis Vuitton Fall 2013.

Chanel Fall 2013 was all about celebrating the brand's global reach. With the strains of "Around the World" pumping through the Grand Palais, Karl Lagerfeld sent models swirling around a gigantic light-up globe with interlocking CC logo flags dropped in to the brand's boutiques around the world. Chanel's iconic tweeds turned up in boxy jackets with rounded shoulders over matching miniskirts, while the famous quilted bag got an update with an open-ended handle. Nighttime came in layers of sheer black over chain-laden boots and globe-shaped minaudières. From the folders filled with photos of the collection by Lagerfeld himself to the enormity of the set, there was a precision and an attention to detail that one can only expect of a house like Chanel. If this is Karl's world, then we want to live in it. Click through to see the full Chanel 2013 collection.

Call it Seattle by way of Saint-Germain. The Saint Laurent Fall 2013 took a detour into "California grunge," with creative director Hedi Slimane filling the runway with babydoll dresses, slashed leather leggings, flannel shirts, and embellished buckle boots. The YSL signatures were cleverly woven into the collection — "Le Smoking" was a tough elongated tuxedo jacket over a mini, the iconic fur chubbies turned into voluminous fur jackets draped sexily over dresses, and sparkling fishnets (even on full bodysuits) winked at traditional French dressing. We bet that front-row fans like Jessica Chastain and Kirsten Dunst will be snapping up the perfect leather coats — a sharp double-breasted trench was a standout — and the flat boots that accompanied many of the looks. Did we mention the army of black-leather-mini-clad models that came out at the very end of the show? Cool girls from coast to coast, from continent to continent, will be rocking those come Fall.

The clouds parted for the Chloé Fall 2013 show. With sunlight streaming in through the glass roof of the tent at the Tuileries in Paris, Clare Waight Keller showed a lineup of softly romantic clothes with a sharp tailoring edge, which is precisely what cool girls around the world want from Chloé. The house's famed bags took on a softer feel with slouchy dual-handle duffels and slim shoulder bags, while every look came out with solid-heeled oxfords. The outerwear was a highlight, with narrow-shoulder coats and wearable capes popped over white blouses and A-line skirts. Click through to see the full collection.

If Redken Creative Consultant Guido Palau is in the building, you know you aren't getting standard-issue hair, and the British stylist did not disappoint at Jean Paul Gaultier Fall 2013. He chopped inexpensive wigs into mismatched bowl cuts layered over the models' hair for what he referred to as a "boyish kind of punk." The makeup matched the bold brows, which helped to balance the heavier hairstyles. Click through to see more looks from the show.

Isabel Marant is a perennial cool-girl favorite, and her Fall 2013 collection went straight to the heart of rocker-chic. With a heavy-metal lashing of studs on cropped jackets, low-slung wrap skirts, and long skinny scarves, models like Arizona Muse showed off a parade of black, white, cream, and navy. Marant went deep into sexier knitwear this season, focusing on a second-skin shape with cutouts just above the bustline. As for her much-loved shoes, it was all about the wedge boot — ankle-high and knee-high in lush suede and sometimes clad with biker-like straps. Click through to see the full collection.

Roland Mouret cut it extrasharp for Fall 2013, honing his famous tailored dresses to a geometric T. The London-based designer chose an ornate, chandelier-bedecked ballroom as a foil to his mostly black and white collection. It was filled with slim pleated pants with a knee detail that recalled the look of over-the-knee boots, sleek sheath dresses with origami-like folds carefully placed across bodices, and structured bustiers with stiff fabric chokers. Crossbody bags in rich leathers complemented the collection, while colorblocked coats with oversize shoulders appeared in violet and black. Evening was a strictly black and white affair with an emphasis on pants over his star-loved gowns, but we hope he has more like the one open-back stunner he sent down the runway.

Peter Copping stuck to what he called a "resolutely graphic palette" for the Nina Ricci Fall 2013 show, using predominantly black, white, and crimson red for the feminine collection. With nods to 1950s silhouettes in sleek skirtsuits and sporty motifs like fur-trimmed layers, it was a collection made for a modern Grace Kelly. The presentation itself was also fit for a princess, as the sister duo of Katia and Marielle Labèque played at nested Steinway grand pianos placed in the middle of the gleaming red runway.
