Aristocratie parisienne part 2.

The spring 2011 collection from this dominant fashion house is all about hats and long flowy dresses, leather, dandy sexy strong woman look and Hermes always delivers. The collection includes many blacks, neutrals, bright oranges, and hints of blues. The Hermes Spring 2011 show was a definite hit among many with its wild designs and 19th century inspirations. Jean Paul did a great job!

I am pretty excited about the Marc Jacobs’ creations from Louis Vuitton’s runway show, lovely colors and designs of the clothes, I don't think that there is a need of any kind of comments, I loved almost everything from the collection.

"La Lettre" by Karl Lagerfeld.

Karl Lagerfeld has designed a Spring-Summer capsule collection for HOGAN.

Six pieces for women: a sophisticated sneaker, a cowboy boot, a clutch bag, a messenger, a trench coat and a jacket. Karl Lagerfeld’s creative vision reinterprets HOGAN’s iconic codes and products. Excited by this project, the designer decided to stage this collection in a short-film entitled, “La Lettre”. Set in a parisian urban scene, passion is the epicenter of the movie, starring models Magdalena Frackowiak and Baptiste Giabiconi.

PRADA "Made in..." project.

In the early twentieth century Mario Prada (Miuccia Prada’s grandfather) traveled the world in search of precious materials, exotic leathers and luxurious fabrics, but also to discover sophisticated craftsmen and manufacturers to realize his designs. The first Prada products (bags, suitcases, gloves, walking sticks, bottles and glasses) were made by Alsatian and Austrian leather artisans, Bohemian crystal-makers, English silversmiths, as well as by Italian artisans using materials such as rare ivory, tortoiseshell, ebony and precious stones and leathers from all over the globe.

This curious connoisseur's spirit remains at the heart of Prada, and translates into a sort of antidote to homologation and globalization so often seen among its competitors. Using Mario's original approach, Prada collaborates with many different artisans to produce its designs utilizing the traditional craftsmanship, materials, and manufacturing techniques of a specific region.

This tactic will be soon explicit in the new "Made in..." project, a series of local products with special labeling declaring the origin of each piece.

Balmain s/s 2011.

Its Paris fashion week and I decided to start the new month with a post from Balmain's show.
I love Christophe Decarnin and how he makes the clothes so wearable considering all the harsh textures! Amazing details, amazing show! Geniality and sex!

Vika Gazinskaya s/s 2011.

The Russian designer Vika Gazinskaya is an almost constant presence around here. Her design aesthetic includes playing with different volumes while at the same time keeping the lines clean and crisp. As you can see in the pictures, Vika is taking a turn from the classic, dark color palette and indulges us into more vivid hues, reminiscent of the greens and blues specific to summer. Gazinskaya will be presenting her new S/S 2011 collection in Paris and these are the first images from the lookbook, showed in a great and fashionable way.

Tradizione, qualità, stile ed eleganza. part 2.

And this was it, the greatest show for me from this fashion week, one of the greatest designers ever and my top favorite, your attention please to Roberto Cavalli's collezione donna p/e 2011, celebrating 40 years of luxury. The Cavalli woman is always unique, always strong but in a way romantic, she is sexy, she's got style, she is always inspired and influenced by different eras and cultures, she is glamorous, she is like a wild animal and not afraid of showing it with all this animal prints glam, she is famous and a real diva, she shines with crystals and 70's fringe, she may be a gipsy goddess or an indian princess, she is a supermodel, she is absolutely stunning!

Milan fashion week s/s 2011.

La moda italiana è sinonimo di qualità, stile ed
eleganza e vanta di una lunga e prestigiosa tradizione!

The most exciting week of the year (for those interested in fashion of course) is coming to his end. Exactly, the last week of September, the place is Milan, with the mileage boulevards with large white pavers, thousands of evening aperitif bars where you can taste the most gustosa pasta fredda, the loudly speaking curly Italian guys with blue shirts, that says hi to you, the long-legged walking models in via Montenapoleone .. one of my favorite places, one of the most beautiful places in the world, but only because of the boutiques, because of the tones of tradition and history in the clothing, the unique style, the elegance and Mediterranean spirit. I was fascinated about this spring fashion week in Milan, I liked almost every show of the big names in fashion.

Gucci

Frida Giannini did a great job @ Gucci, keeping the strong and sexy look of the clothes, I loved the colors, the golden belts, the hair, the make-up, everything was absolutely perfect and so Gucci! Max Mara always creates my whole idea of being stylish in an Italian way, the clean and feminine silhouettes, the fabrics. Blumarine for this spring is maybe my top favorite show, I love so much animal prints in different colors, Anna always keeps the girlish in her clothes, the romantic spirit and they look so sexy at the same time, she always creates the image of a princess, but very very modern.

Blumarine

Prada

I never tough that I would put pictures from a Prada show, cuz I never really liked Miuccia's style and her way of putting together her pieces, but this season I am really excited about the whole look of the show and the girls! The sunglasses are so Willy Wonka haha but I love them..and as I see the new print on every t-shirt in the confection stores will be a monkey, like the cat in the previous season.
Even if I don't like Prada so much, this brand means a lot more that you could possibly ever imagine. I remember when I was 13 at school in Rome, for the richest girls and boys from my class, Prada and Gucci were the top brands in their wardrobes! Because these brands in Italy mean class, they mean a social position, a way of thinking, haha. I'll never forget the white Prada scarf of one of the girls from my class, on side was knitted and the other one was from some kind of a oilcloth with the red rubber Prada label! It was awesome!

Fendi

Etro

Ferragamo

The absolute beauty comes with the shows of Ferragamo, Etro and Fendi, which sunglasses I MUST have! I loved the skirts, the long dresses, I would wear every single outfit right here.
I am really disappointed from the return of Versus, I didn't like Versace at all, all the glamour was in a way lost, the hair of the models was so boring.
I am a little bit disappointed from Peter Dundas collection for Pucci, it was so so Cavalli spring 2005, the typical Pucci elements that Lacroix used to emphasize so well, are absolutely gone, but the collection, it's still absolutely beautiful.
Dolce & Gabbana were on top once again, Moschino and Missoni classic as usual.

EVVIVA MILANO!

London fashion week spring 2011 favorites.

Paul Smith

Paul Smith is my absolute top favorite designer from this spring London fashion week. I loved the whole look and spirit of the collection, the dandy shoes, the colors, the masculine suits, the hair reminds me a lot of my favorite shows from Versace and YSL fall 2004, and related to that, I saw Anna Dello Russo wearing YSL shoes from the same fall '04 collection during the NY fashion week '11, shame on you Anna! :)

Burberry

I liked pretty much Burberry's leather leggings, skirts and jacket with ribs, the super cool spring colors of the tiny belts and bags, the slit of the shoes near the ankle is so my type, very sexy and I liked that they kept the black color even if it reminds more of the fall.

Antonio Berardi

Great early 90's spirit with this awesome raincoat, great colors once again and fabrics.

Julien Mcdonald

Mathew Williamson

In Mathew Williamson' s collection I loved the tribal elements on the dresses, trend that I noticed in a lot of the spring collections during these fashion weeks, thumbs up for the animal prints!

A great walk in the park, a great day, with my best friend, looking at some beautiful graffiti, eating popcorn, saying goodbye to the summer.

Ralph Lauren spring 2011.

I just can't express the excitement that I feel right now about the Ralph Lauren's spring collection, it's absolutely my style and I am so happy that I bought myself a new pair of cowboy boots for my collection! These are the elements that will never go out of style!
