Milan Fashion Week day 6

Yesterday was unfortunately the last day from Milan Fashion week and I reviewed two shows. The first one is from Dsquared². The setting from this show was insane. The decor was some kind of hospital wing from a madhouse. Some models were playing a role as patient, guard,... The clothes were amazing as well, in the usual Dquared² style; lots of metallics, leather and sexy combinations.

The last show I watched was Giorgio Armani. The runway was very modern with a huge green door. The color green kept on appearing during the show in different shades. The looks started off as quite classic office looks but gradually evolved to powerful looks with some fur. The final pieces were very glamorous and red carpet proof. 

Milan Fashion Week day 3

After having been dazzled by Blugirl's show yesterday, I couldn't wait to see big sister Blumarine. The wait was worth it. Blumarine's collection for next winter took my breath away. I loved almost every piece. The collection is chic and exuberant. Lots of expensive fabrics, rich colors, golden completions. Very surprisingly were the Chinese touches some looks had. I tried to select some of my favourite looks, which was a very hard job to do.

The second show I watched on the 3th day of Milan fashion week was the Emporio Armani show. The show was not surprising but remained loyal to the usual style of the brand. Lots of black/white/grey combo's and very tight designs. Emporio Armani focus on the working woman was once again very noticeable. If you're a hardworking, chic and elegant woman, you'll find what you need at Emporia Armani. 

The Etro show started off very mysterious with the logo of the brand becoming smaller and less brighter every second. The clothes were less surprising; lots of bold prints and aztec influences. Nonetheless nobody can deny that the master is in the detail which is definitely true for Etro. The color shades were red, burgundy, brown and dark blue. 

Who didn't know Versace yet might be surprised by the following words: Donatella Versace presented a calm and normal collection. What I mean by that? Well let's be honest, usually the house doesn't know how to pick colors so they use almost every bright color known to mankind and secondly the clothes sometimes give you a "trashy" feeling. But this season the collection is quite wearable for a night out and Donatella managed to stick to 3 à 4 colors for the whole collection.
The Versace fans don't have to worry tough: there are still dresses with high splits and deep cleavages, the fabrics are very sexy,.. Overall I'm a fan of this collection.

Milan Fashion Week day 2

Day 2 from Milan Fashion week kicked off with the Blugirl fashion show. The decor had the looks of an old Italian villa which I absolutely adore. Remember I'm a sucker for everything old and slightly romantic.

But the most important thing about a fashion show are off course the clothes. The collection was divided in 3 parts: some black and classic looks, some romantic looks with lots of brocade and last but not least some looks in pastel shades. Again pastels remain on top!

I really liked almost every look, the romantic looks are my favourite. They have soft colors such as gold, beige and camel and can be mixed with almost every item in your wardrobe. You might not expect it but these looks were also best suited for fall and winter because of the amazing coats and furs.

Here are some of my favourite looks:

The second show I really wanted to see today was the Just Cavalli show. The collection was quite gloomy but still very chic. The Just Cavalli woman loves gold, brocade, fur and animals; all these elements were mixed into great winter looks. This collection is very wearable with lots of pants and coats to cover your skin. The details were once again magnificent.

Gucci FW14 fashion show

Milan Fashion Week kicked off with one of my favourite shows: Gucci. After seeing this show, it's safe to say that we can keep on buying those pastel colors because they are here to stay.

What I love about Gucci is their sexy yet elegant style so I was very exciting to see this show live. I must admit I was a bit disappointed with the first half of the show. The looks had all the same colors and were a bit virtuous in my opinion. The looks had a seventies vibe and lots of models wore "nerdy" glasses.

But midway the show the atmosphere changed and so did the looks. The main colors became red and yellow, some looks even had animal prints. Finally I saw the sexy side of Gucci that I love. To finish of the collection, Frida Giannini and her team created some amazing embellished looks. The designs may look simple but if you look up close you can see the craftsmanship.

As for shoes, you definitely have to buy a pair of boots in beige, black or with animal print.

Here are some images to give you an idea of the collection. What is your favourite look?
