Aah, finally finished going through the shows at Milan fashion week and am ready to present to you our little trend report. Before I go ahead and post it, I want to write about 3 of my favorite shows. Not to say the other shows weren't equally fabulous, but these 3 shows genuinely left me heart broken. I say heart broken in the sense that I wanted all the clothes and cant have any, well not just yet at least!
First up was Dolce & Gabbana, with their once again Sicilian inspired collection. From start to finish, I thought the show was simply beautiful. Those ancient pillars and ruins printed on the clothes, the gold coin belts cinching the silhouettes on the waist, the polka dots and the 3D almond blossoms embroidered on the clothes; it was a flawless collection. And the finale, oh the finale, the models strutting on the runway head to toe in gold; MAGNIFICO!
Then there was Tod's. If I were saving up to buy a piece from a luxury brand's runway collection Tod's would be it. Fuss free, high on craftsmanship and wearability, this collection really outdid itself. The clothes look extremely simple but they werent that simple to create. The shirt dresses were just fantastic and were so versatile (worn during the day or night, they really make a powerful statement). My favorite was the white shirt dress with a pastel ish hem featuring with laser cut holes in cinched at the waist with a big leather belt. I can totally see myself wearing it during the day with gorgeous flat sandals or at night with a pair of sky high heels. My next favorite was a white shirt paired with a black skirt again with laser cut holes which left me drooling. And how stunning was that perforated leather skirt? Most of the looks minus the leather tank top (or whatever you call it) were so wearable without compromising on design and workmanship which is crucial for any collection. I mean if you're dishing out thousands of dollars on an outfit it better stand out. All in all, one of the best collections I've seen in all three fashion weeks (we still have Paris to cover!).
The Fendi clothes took me to the moon and back. As you go through the collection, you will notice that it wasn't only about the clothes, technique was key here (the leather jackets speak for themselves).
Those tiered dresses crafted out of organza (especially the one Cara Delevingne opened the show with in reducing shades of coral) were mind blowing and looked as light as air. As you can see, I am a lover of the more subtle silhouettes as opposed to dramatic ones as I can actually see myself wearing them (not that I am going to be buying a Fendi dress anytime soon but hey, if you're looking to wear a dress for your wedding cocktail next year, I suggest it should be Fendi SS 14). Whilst fur being the essence of the Fendi house was present at most times, it was the leather that really hit the spot. Masterfully crafted into panels seen on the jackets and into geometric motifs on other clothes, I wish upon a star I could buy one of those.
