D&G Catwalk Fashion Show Milan FW2011/2012

The D&G invitation gave the whole theme of the show away. It was covered in colorful letters and so was the collection.
On the first few dresses the letters looked like graphic prints from a distance. Yet once the models got closer it was clear that it were rows of R’s, L’s, O’s en Z’s.
Hues of black, white and grey were spiced up by some colorful accessories (necklaces and bracelets with large letter hangers and bright bags). Then in came the neon colors; orange, yellow and pink. Stripes were mixed with the letters and underneath several cotton designs pieces of sheer fabric were visible. Together with some bright oversized blazers it all led to a young and funky D&G collection.
The finale was special too this time. Models appeared on the runway looking like ostriches. They wore puffy, frilly skirts combined with summery printed Tees. How we love those D&G finales!
Fendi Catwalk Fashion Show Milan FW2011/2012

The new Fendi girl Karl Lagerfeld presented today was sexy and sophisticated. The kinda girl everyone notices once she stepped in the room. A girl with an outspoken way of dressing up; mixing bright colored (orange, yellow, red) tights with chic skirts and tight blouses with eye catching ruffles.
She loves wearing fur; as an accessory and used on complete coats. Not a day goes by without her wearing her headband or her structured handbag and oh my, does she love her enormous sunglasses.
The new Fendi girl has a look not everyone will immediately love, but she has her own style and knows what she wants. Hurray for that!

MaxMara Catwalk Fashion Show Milan FW2011/2012

We started our second day of Milan Fashion Week with the MaxMara show, as did actress Katie Holmes. The wife of Tom Cruise was chosen by the label as it’s new Face of the Future (an award for talent, style and contribution to the community at large). The brand, which celebrates it’s sixtieth anniversary this year showed a solid, slightly minimalistic collection.
Clean belted coats appeared in shades of white, nude, beige and grey. Leather skirts were combined with shorter jackets, blouses and sweaters. The dresses were simple yet sophisticated. Some pants were small like leggings, others were ultra-wide and even look like skirts.
Several evening gowns were made out of checked blankets (with sequins that added extra glamour) with kilt buckles at the side. Though they looked super soft and comfy, the models could hardly walk in them.
Besides the sequined checks and buffalo prints all looks were very basic, quite the opposite of all the colorblocking we’ve seen so far.
It was a classic collection, on which many modern women will want to get their hands on.
Alberta Ferretti Catwalk Fashion Show Milan FW2011/2012

After several seasons full of nudes and soft tones it was nice to see some brighter colors at Ferretti this time. Petrol, purple and pink were used in several sixties/seventies-inspired ‘mod’ looks.
The first few outfits had a slightly younger feeling to them. Yet still appeared very likable for Ferretti’s loyal fan base. Especially the shift dresses with the standing collars and the 3/4 sleeves. The coats, that followed, were shiny and heavily embroidered. They were alternated by small pants and sleeveless straight dresses. Some soft shaded evening gowns completed the outspoken, yet wearable collection.

The Dutch press had an extra reason to visit the John Richmond show today. Dutch celeb Yolanthe Sneijder Cabau (wife of Inter Milan soccer player Wesley Sneijder) walked in the show. She opened and closed the show and worked the runway like a pro, even though she’s not a model!
Gucci Catwalk Fashion Show Milan FW2011/2012

Gucci held on to the bright colors for winter, yet this time the shades were a little bit warmer (ranging from blue and rust to burgundy and petrol green) and Frida Giannini added some grey and black.
The show had a great seventies vibe. Flared pants, flared coats and long, loose dresses. Of course Frida added her own special Gucci Glamour showing high slits, pencil skirts made of snakeskin and patent leather.
Though some items would look wrong on a hanger; the styling of the show made it all still sophisticated. The colorful hats, small belts and the fur stoles were some nice details. The large sunglasses and eye catching flowers at the end might have been a little over the top. But hey, Gucci girls usually love that.
Burberry Catwalk Fashion Show Londen FW2011/2012

If you’re looking for a nice dress or sweater for next winter, it’s not sure you’ll find it at Burberry. The new collection was full of coats (and handbags), from the beginning till the end.
The first ones came in strong colors with black details. Then several ones with Tartan print appeared and in the end even some coats with cow print were shown.
The silhouettes of the coats were alternated constantly; ranging from slim en lean to wide and short.
Most seemed very comfy and warm, especially the fur ones with enormous collars and cuffs.
Never in a million years would we wear the fur cow hats, but at least Christopher Bailey had fun with it.
Like at his menswear show Bailey came up with a finale of models wearing rain capes. Yet instead of rain, fake snow came down from the ceiling.
