The Latest Digital: Gucci, Porsche & Raymond Weil

Luxury brands push more & more video content, as Raymond Weil directs all corporate web traffic to Facebook and Christie’s auctions Andy Warhol exclusively online

Given François-Henri Pinault’s well-documented love of technology and digital communications, it is with little surprise that the French conglomerate is turning its Digital Academy project into a permanent human resources tool.

Launched in September 2011 as a pilot training scheme, the initiative is designed to foster digital culture within its luxury and sport/lifestyle brands, including Gucci, Puma, Stella McCartney and Boucheron.

WWD reports that 400 employees have as yet taken part in training sessions in eight cities on three continents, with participation not only by digital experts, but also top brand managers and chief executive officers. The workshops are designed to strengthen expertise; help brands define and seize opportunities; develop innovation and e-commerce, and create a digital community within the group.

Menswear klaxon! The British Fashion Council has today released the provisional schedule for the first ever dedicated menswear showcase – the London Collections. It's been the source of much excitement among certain members this parish, but really who doesn't love the idea of decent-looking men showing off classy, innovative and occasionally that-bit-too-boisterous clothes?

Menswear nerds should click here to see the schedule which runs from 14th to 17th June in full. We confess we are particularly excited by the thought of HRH Prince Charles 'doing a Boris' and opening the whole event. For starters, he has better suits.

Friday's action will be led by the Topman catwalk show which will no doubt feature clothes for fellas who like their music and have a FROW which may include at least one member of One Direction (we can but hope; come on Sir Phil make this happen). Tom Ford will host a dinner for dapper chaps that evening – cue handsome gallery incoming on this site.

By the weekend we will mostly be excited about Jonathan Saunders and Christopher Shannon showing their respectively brilliant collections. Sunday morning will see JW Anderson's knitwear-based expertise and Christopher Kane showcase his doubtless zeitgeist capturing menswear. British powerhouse Burberry will close the event with a suitably swank event hosted by Christopher Bailey. We'll be covering the Christopher-heavy event in full but please tell us below if there's anything you'd really like covered by team Guardian fashion and why.
