Bellissimo!

OK, I know I shouldn't say it, being British and all, but Milan Fashion Week has been my fave so far...!

The colours were bright & bold and the prints were beautiful.  Prada's 50's cars, Dolce & Gabanna's corguettes and Versace's shells oozed a stylish kinda fun.

Salvatore Ferragamo showed us the essence of Italian style with the block matching of rich colours and the vibrant printed dresses with gold tigers... they were effortlessly cool and chic.


While other designers & houses went for a more glamorous, classic touch with all their looks, Versus went sporty yet feminine.  With a basketball court as a runway, the models sported (excuse the pun) zips, hoods and stripes.  The pastel colours and soft materials contrased with the zips and feminised the whole idea of sport lux.  Christopher Kane explains to Vogue: “It all started with a basketball theme and then there are the milkshake colours, the zipper details and the sportswear fabrics... It’s a bit about the cheerleader and a flapper,”
Referee shirt as a dress?!

Moschino cheap & chic, as always, went for a fun option, with a fruit & veg stall theme... for the catwalk & the dresses! Raspberry dresses complete with seeds & apple maxi dresses put everyone in a fruit lovin' trance.  However, it wasn't all fruit; flowers, grass & water gave a new meaning to eco clothing, nature-ising the dresses up and introducing beautiful colours & prints that spell out summer with a capital S.




Versace I really loved.  I love the sea inspired prints, the bold yellows & blues, the calm yet glamours whites & golds, the instant flattering dresses and the to-die-for shoes & bags.
