Ciao, Milan Fashion Week Fall-Winter 2012-13

Gothic romance at Alberta Ferreti.

Blumarine was just being Blumarine. Bold, sexy and colour-popping.

Luscious and rich village girls ala Malena wears church ornaments at Dolce&Gabbana. It rocks.

Naughty Jackie O’ goes to school at Dsquared.

Less print more texture and structure at Emilio Pucci.

Fur, decadence and some more fur at Fendi.

Suits and colours that mean business at Giorgio Armani.

It seemed that the head of Gucci and Ferreti had too many coffees together as their visions were very similar. More dark and decadent choice for fashionistas.

Autumn exists not for Jil Sander. It’s blooming spring and everyone loves it.

Fur-roucious knits at Missoni.

Look at these three Prada designs. This is what you are going to wear all of next autumn.

Your best leg forward at Cavalli. In fact, it doesn’t have to be your best as long as you are showing a lot of leg.

These are just a few shows from what proved to be a spectacular fashion week in Milan.

Some of the main trends:

Boho-gypsy – maxi skirts with deep slits;
Sailor girl, high time to earn your stripes;
Short tops, time to work on that fab abs;
Prints – clashing, matching, doesn’t matter, just print away;
Wear white, a lot or often if not daily.

Ciao, Milan – next stop Paris.

Plagued by leopard print

Posted by Edita Lozovska

Here are my Friday’s leopard print nightmares in five steps:

Step one:
You decide to meet up with a friend after work.
Step two:
You go to a cosy looking pub and order your favourite drinks and snacks.
Step three:
You notice that while you indulge in a pleasant and much needed conversation with your friend, feeling comfy in oversized casual clothes, the pub rapidly changes its scene. A 360 degree flip, in fact.
Step four:
The horror starts here: girls in polyester leopard print dresses make a grand entrance. You count yourself lucky if their asses are at least half covered.
Step five:
You run away hating leopard print and polyester dresses – not necessarily combined, one at a time is fine.

And that is how, my friends, I have grown to despise leopard print. Be it on ~~underaged girls~~, dresses, trousers, shoes, bags, accessories, you name it.

In fact, I struggle to picture myself wearing the ferocious pattern and looking decent at the same time.

However, Dolce& Gabbana and Blumarine may be changing my opinion a slight bit.
