Luisa Beccaria’s Sugary Goodness
Luisa Beccaria’s been dogged by lukewarm reviews of her previous shows in Milan. By no means were they bad or were her collections simply written off as unwearable. The designer was simply a victim of indifference. In many instances that may be seen as worse than a bad review. The thought process is, at least [...]
Kudos to Emilio Pucci
What’s this? A black model on a Milan runway? Is the end of the world nigh? Apparently it is not, what’s happening is that Milan designers were almost shamed into using black models for fashion week. What’s the big deal you say? The big deal is that fashion needs to be somewhat representative of the [...]
Dolce and Gabbana’s Asian / 20s Excursion
No one can tell me that Dolce and Gabbana’s Milan show had little to do with the far east. I may be biased because of my close proximity to Honk Kong, but there was a noticeable tinge of Asian inspired fashion to the show. The point of bringing this up is because there is genius [...]
Borat.. uh Ali G… uh..Bruno at Milan Fashion Week
This is something you simply cannot make up. You look at all the shows that went on during Milan fashion week but what dominated headlines across the web was the arrival of Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest alter ego gracing the presence of the Iceberg show. The unwelcome appearance of Bruno was a party of [...]
Tom Ford + Milan = Fashion Goodness
Suzy Menkes (one of my favorite fashion writers in the pantheon of great fashion writers -Horyn, Talley, Vreeland) has an article in the International Herald Tribune today on Tom Ford’s newest foray in Milan. That fabulous man has opened up a new store in the city that is as luxurious as it is opulent and [...]
Milan Men’s Fashion Week
Women get so much attention. May it’s because as my best friend says, men’s fashions are so blah…If he could die and come back a woman, he would do it in a heartbeat. I am of a different opinion, I think men’s fashion has a lot to offer especially if the designer tries just a [...]
A word from Prada
Someone got a hold of the people at Prada and told them that this collection would abandon the fairy-like escapade of last season and would become a sterner look at Italian fashion. From the photos alone it is apparent that lace, creatively at least, is going to play a major role in Prada’s new direction. [...]
ooohhh Armani
Upon first seeing this piece from Giorgio Armani during Milan fashion week, the first thing I said to myself was Ooo.. It’s just too beautiful.
Ferre Collection sans Nilsson in Milan
Shift Dress. Check. Sack Dress. Check. Lars Nilsson? Lars Nilsson? Lars? Nilsson? Absent.
And so was the showing of Gianfranco Ferre’s collection. A missing Lars Nilsson who was unceremoniously let go or left depending on where you get your story. So what did we get from Gianfranco Ferre’s collection? A mish-mash hybrid of sorts that was [...]
Milan Fashion Week or New York Pezzo Due
I don’t really get it, but after looking at photos from Just Cavalli and the Emporio Armani show, I kind of get the feeling of witnessing New York all over again. This is strange as it has never happened to me before, but I’m wondering if anyone else is getting the same feeling.
