Versace Catwalk Fashion Show ss2010

For her SS2010 collection Donatella Versace told everyone she was inspired by the idea of a fantasyland. This inspiration was visualized by the use of bright pastels, many different prints and plastic see-through materials, which all gave a barbiedoll-feeling to it. A lot of dresses and skirts were shown, sometimes combined with a jacket. There were also some very slim pants, looking more like leggings. Because of the different geometric patterns some of the dresses seemed to be a combination of a skirt and a top, stitched together. The legs of the models looked endless on the runway due to the fact that the girls wore platform shoes and ultra-short skirts and dresses. There was also a lot of leg shown wearing the evening gowns with a very high slit and silver metallic accents. Altogether Donatella Versace showed off a vivid, youthfull, sexy and indeed fantasy-like collection. (Tess van Daelen)

Gianfranco Ferre Catwalk Fashion Show ss2010

Roberto Rimondi and Tommaso Aquilano only used four different shades to design their SS2010 collection, their third for Gianfranco Ferré. Their short party-dresses and feminine tuxedo-looking suits were all shown in white, ivory, gold or black. By using only these colors the designers lived up to Ferré’s idea that the color of a design is inferior to its shape. A great deal of the dresses were one-shoulder-pieces which had a round shape from the waist down and were worn above the knee. They were made out of transparent wavy fabrics and therefore showed some resemblence to the crimped hair of the models. In some of the designs shoulder pads were used. Most of the looks were finished off with very thin metallic belts, big bracelets and partly open shoes with high metal stiletto heels. The fashion show ended with some theatrical dresses on which transparant veils were attached.(Tess van Daelen)

Jil Sander Catwalk Fashion Show ss2010

Raf Simons went back to nature, in an intellectual way – of course. His ss2010 collection for Jil Sander  took on a rough-hewn edge—dresses in which layers of fabric were peeled back and left hanging in patches; linen and gauze tailoring patched together in sheer and opaque zones; and knitwear manipulated into complex conceptual surface patterns to conceal and reveal skin in unexpected ways. White and navy were the main colors, with some showstoppers in shiny green and blue.

In between: Klavers van Engelen ss2010

Due to circumstances we all can figure out KlaversVanEngelen couldn’t show during Milan Fashion Week. But they certainly designed a ss-2010 collection. They used their signature long, lean silouet for draping and layering beautiful fabrics which were sometimes mixed structures. The overall effect was light and airy.
