  • Milan Fashion Week: Missoni AW09
    If you’ve ever wondered about how to layer successfully, take a note from this show. Missoni took layering to the limit and pulled it off brilliantly. The best way to describe the look is, if you told a group of fashionistas that they were going trekking across the Sahara, this is probably what they would turn up wearing.

  • Milan Fashion Week: Emporio Armani AW09
    Armani is renowned for his beautiful lines and delicate cuts. And this collection is no exception. Although this did divert from typical Armani, it was far more preppy, not in a pashmina, chino sort of way, but in a Leighton Meester from Gossip Girl way.

  • The Beckhams, they just can’t keep their clothes on
    Just when you thought it was safe to open your eyes, there is more sultry underwear wearing from the Beckham family, but this time it’s both of them. Yes, Victoria and David have teamed up for a jaw-dropping advertisement for Armani lingerie.

  • Milan Fashion Week: Prada
    Anytime soon, Miuccia Prada will be known as fashion’s mad hatter.….but do we care? No, we love her and her wacky approach which some how always works. Pulling looks from the sixties/seventies art scene, the collection from Prada is the stuff of fairytales….whimsical and dreamy. Fabrics are soft and floaty, print dresses are paired with loud tights and attention...

  • Milan Fashion Week: Moschino
    The catwalks in Milan consistently ooze sexiness every fashion week and the Spring 2008 collection from Moschino stayed true to form while retaining an element of mystery. Hemlines were short and plunging necklines were non-existent, dresses were shapeless and loose fits were the order of the day. The collection is filled with varied pieces from trapeze shaped dresses...

  • Milan Fashion Week: Giorgio Armani
    Inspiration for the Giorgio Armani collection came from close to home….South of Italy and Pantelleria….where Armani currently resides. His palette took us to the sea with a combination of water colors, fused light and deep shadows mixing natural and earth tones of beige putty and grey with translations of lava black and palm green. The collection consisted of...

  • Milan Fashion Week: D&G
    Sexy came in a different form this season for Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana’s D&G collection. The overall look took on a more relaxed feel with a vibe leaning towards hippie/ bohemian chic. Large floppy hats, slouchy leather messenger bags, and mid-calf gladiator sandals as well as gypsy-esque peasant style path-work dresses that were flowing with floral...
