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.

D&G Catwalk Fashion Show Milan FW2011

Oh life is good and full of fun in the world of the D&G man. Despite it’s highly commercial level and copy & paste of all American logo’s and comics it was a breath of fresh air. Fashion has to be fun too, no? Especially after the dark years that are behind us now and the serious search of other labels for a new look and a new dresscode.
D&G let the sunshine in with their colorful, low crotch, small legged pants, copy/paste T-shirts with the Coca Cola logo and Disney-comics and preppy jackets and shirts. It seemed the American Fifties college-nerd inspired the designers for this mix and match of checks, prints, fits and proportions. It looked fresh and new thanks to the new proportions, shrunken wool knitwear, corduroy and padded nylon.
