Luxury fashion labels branch out to dining scene

Milan is home to several fashion-focused restaurants, such as Prada's stunning Bar Luce, designed by fashion's favourite film director, Wes Anderson. There's also Ceresio 7 Pools & Restaurant, a glamourous Milanese rooftop location from Dean and Dan Caten, the identical-twin designers behind Dsquared2.

At the Beige Alain Ducasse Tokyo restaurant, a chic collaboration with Chanel, refined French cuisine is served up in immaculate surroundings. It's designed by Chanel retail architect Peter Marino and the brand's signature motifs even make an appearance in the food. Tokyo is also home to Il Ristorante, a restaurant and bar from Italian brand Bulgari. The kitchen is headed up by executive chef Luca Fantin, the only Italian chef in Japan with one Michelin star. At the brand's Omotesando location, shoppers can also relax with a coffee at Il Cafe before sampling the brand's chocolate line at Il Cioccolato.

And for those who want to enjoy the combined worlds of fashion magazines and cuisine, the GQ Bar in Dubai and the Vogue Cafe in Moscow are the perfect way to round out a fashion-meets-food global tour.

When it comes to luxury fashion and luxury eats, the two clearly go hand in hand – or, should we say, fork in mouth.
