At Etro we were once again pampered with delicious bites, the best drinks and free Etro pillows. The baroque prints of the pillows perfectly matched the winter season, as did the prints in the collection. Veroniqua Etro’s inspiration for her ethnic prints this time came from antique carpets, tapestries and embroideries.
The prints were slightly faded, as if they were aged by time and could be found on wrap dresses, pencil skirts, oversized scarves and dresses with tuxedo jacket silhouettes.
Raw jewelry, like sharp edged earrings, sword necklaces and silver buckles were the perfect finishing touches of this collection. A collection full of pieces which women of any age would love to work into their wardrobe.

Antonio Marras’ show was inspired by his mother’s elegance, so a large picture of her featured as he backdrop of the show.
The models wore items his mother used to wear too, like vintage menswear jackets embroidered with sequins and feathers. But also little black dresses, belted cardigans and sweaters with corsages to make them more playful and feminine. They all breathed 50’s elegance.
During the finale all models appeared in LBS’s with polkadots and white starched collar.
Moschino Catwalk Fashion Show Milan FW2011/2012

Sexy militaries opened the Moschino show this morning. The Italian brand showed us a glamorous take on the uniform, which included lots of bling bling, eye catching accessories and very feminine tailored uniform jackets.
The models wore high military hats, sexy pointy glasses and model Coco Rocha appeared with a chicken on her head. We’re curious what was behind that look…
There were of course a lot of suits with pants that showed just a little bit of ankle. But we saw some super sexy dresses too. Not to mention the golden skirts and palazzo pants, which are now officially a trend, since we’ve seen them at many FWshows. We’re not sure they will look good on many women though.
Like the models walking the show, the colors of the collection were strong (navy, red, silver, black and gold). Towards the end of the show a heartprint was introduced, which matched the Moschino letters at the backdrop of the show.
It was a fun collection. A bit over the top -like always- but that’s what we know Moschino for, right?
Prada Catwalk Fashion Show Milan FW2011/201

Mixing a swim cap with gigantic glasses and a double breasted black dress can be very sexy. At least, according to Miuccia Prada, who sent this outfit out on the runway as her first look.
The Italian designer again pushed the boundaries with her new winter collection. She wanted to make glamorous and sexy materials more innocent and fresh’, she told WWD. This resulted in a fun collection with an cartoon effect. No bananas and monkeys this time, but 60’s inspired dresses with eye-catching buttons. Some designs (with different fields in several shades) even felt very Mondrian-ish.
Miuccia’s models all wore gloves and held a snakeskin Prada bag in their right arm. Towards the end their dresses changed from nude and furry to bright and shiny. So if your Prada dress, gloves or bags don’t get enough attention; just try out the swim hats; you’ll look just perfect. 😉
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.
