Happy March 1st :)
Milan Fashion Week. Get your blazers, laces, furs and leopards out for Fall 2010.
Dolce & Gabbana
I hate to say it, but yawn. The collection as a whole was a little disappointing, but there were a few clutch pieces. Tailored blazers had the most prominent appearance in the D&G collection, which I found a bit boring. Sure, the pieces work, but I found them to have played it way too safe for such an established company. There was no apparent "new" look within the collection. But, then again... I suppose practicality is in. Even more disappointingly, more than a hand full of the were bare-boned and emaciated. Lace is sexy and all, but they could very clearly use a Big Mac or seven.
Roberto Cavalli
Always lahved Cavalli, this collection seemed alive and inspired. The gowns appeared goddess-like. Cavalli softly added animal prints and fur, allowing it to appear feminine rather than hunter-like. But, enough with the Harem pants!
Missoni
Creative knitwear with tribal inspiration. The outerwear was clearly unique, wraparound with monstrous safety pins. (love)
Prada
What first caught my eye about this collection were the normal-sized models, looking refreshed and lively.
Giorgio Armani
One collection that took a risk. Maybe it was a bit too far-fetched for ready-to-wear. But I respect it nonetheless. Unlike majority of the designers, who have ultimately focused their collections on the "every-day-woman" for Fall 2010, Armani took a leap. Mixing tones and accessorizing boldy, the collection showed true inspiration and creativity.
