FASHION: Milan Fashion Week Front Row fashion

Earlier this week I showed my favourite streetstyle looks from New York Fashion Week. Milan fashion Week is more glamourous. The crème de la crème of the fashion world dress up very extravagant especially for those 10 minutes of fame sitting in the front row.

In this article you get a glimpse into my personal life. Let me know which picture you like the most.

I absolutely loved a lot of shows during Milan Fashion week. Most Italian fashion houses are a bit extravagant, which is exactly my style. Roccobarocco presented the perfect mix between classic pieces and coulourful pieces. Read my report from that show and others here.

Last Saturday I went to a decadent party which was organised in a wine castle. My Flemish readers might know this castle since it was used to shoot the TV show "Zuidflank". 

Two weeks ago I was one of the few lucky people who got to attend the Blog Class Event. This was organised by Yara from This Chick's got Style. It was a very inspirational day. Read my report here.

At the Blog Class Event everyone received a goodiebag. Among others things my goodiebag included the latest Elle edition and some delicious chocolate. This was very welcome during the long train ride back home.

This is a picture from Yara and me after the Blog Class Event. Thank you again for this amazing day. I really learned a lot.

After the Blog Class Event, it was time for some amusement. Another party night at club Versuz with some Gin.

You might have noticed that I was a bit absent from the blog last week, this was because of carnival. Carnival is an event during which people get dressed up. One day I got dressed up as a soldier.

Keeping up with the Kardashians is one of my favourite shows at the moment. I was looking for a new show, after Gossip Girl ended, which could really take my mind of things. KUWTK does it every time for me. 

Last Thursday my best friend organised a dinner party. The main course was 2 pastas; the left one was spicier; the right one was my favourite with spinach and cheese.

The dessert was a millefieulle from chocolate and ice cream. It's probably pointless to say that this was one of the best desserts I had in my whole life.

The 8th March we celebrated women's day. I think every girl should have friends like the girls from Sex and the City. They have so much fun and can always count on each other.

Last Saturday I had one of my best outfit shoots so far. I chose a spring outfit and my friend knew this great location. These 2 resulted in a great outcome. For more pictures, check my article here.

After the shoot my friend and me took a well-deserved break.

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 4 + 5

Roberto Cavalli probably had my favourite catwalk from the week. The center of his set was a ring of fire — live flames lit in a circle — that ignited at the start of the show and remained burning for its duration. The models walked around this circle with matching outfits. But let's focus on the most important thing: the clothes. Most pieces came in black and grey shades, adding extra mysterie and that's what the Cavalli woman is all about.

The Pucci woman is known for her sexiness with lots of embellishments and head designer Peter Dundas always knows to bring a new spin on this theme. I would describe this collection as savage chic with lots of tribal elements in natural tones.

Pompeii and its faded murals and frescos served as inspiration for the decor and outfits from Roccobarocco. The show started off with some tight black and white combinations with stripes or checkered patterns. After those first 15 or so looks, the atmosphere changed and a firework of amazing colors were shown; pink, blue, gold and black. I absolutely adored the dresses with ancient symbols on them.

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.
