Caught in the web: 4 new ways to wear the elegant veil

On shades 

 One accessory caught all the attention during Milan fashion week, it's the veil that added appeal and elegance to the look of show attenders. The thin net is back in fashion on Haute Couture catwalks and can be dressed down worn over sunglasses or beanies or dressed up with pulled back hair and sparkly sequins. This look is so easy to replicate that you have to try it at least once. The veil is sold in rectangular pieces and you can fasten it to your hat or your hair with a brooch just a moment before going out. Among these looks which one better suits your style?

Il set degli scatti è la milano fashion week, la protagonista assoluta la veletta, la retina che veste il volto di mistero ed eleganza. Tornata di moda sulle passerelle di haute couture oggi si può indossare in versone casual, sul cappello di lana o sugli occhiali da sole, o elegante impreziosita con cristalli da Giorgio Armani. Un look da provare almeno una volta perchè veramente facile da replicare. Potete acquistare una veletta in merceria, è un rettangolo di retina a pois da appuntare sul cappello o sui capelli con una spilla prima di uscire. Quali di questi look si avvicina più al vostro stile?

 60's and graphical

First from left Moschino - 3 looks from Fay

We're back to the sixthies at Moschino and Fay. They play with graphical effects, vertical lines and black and white contrasts. The color contrast pockets are on almost all Fay's dresses. The pastel colors chosen are all irresistibles, the melon orange is my favorite, energetic and refreshing.

Ispirazione anni sessanta per Moschino e Fay che giocano con effetti grafici, linee verticali, contrasti bianco e nero. Bellissime le tasche e pattine a contrasto, scelte da Fay come filo conduttore della collezione. Tutti irresistibili gli abiti nei toni pastello, impossibile sceglierne solo uno, forse il mio preferito è quello arancio melone, colore estivo e rinfrescante.

Perforated and Laser cut 

John Richmond - Blumarine - Just Cavalli

Obtain a modern look with perforated, laser cut fabrics. Use a pair of scissors or an knife over a leather garment.
If you're looking for knitting inspiration check out this beautiful sweater from Just Cavalli with very unusual sleeves.

Stoffe tagliate a laser o effetto intaglio per un look moderno da ottenere con solo con l'uso delle forbici su un capo in pelle.

Le appassionate di maglia apprezzeranno molto il capo in cotone di Just Cavalli leggero e traforato con maniche decisamente insolite!

Fashion week looks from the streets

shoes chatting about latest trends

 Milano fashion week lands today and some of the biggest names of fashion will walk down the runway. I promise to keep my eyes opened fo you to spot trendy DIY ideas. Today I would like to share with you some streetstyle looks I snapped in Milan (pretenting to be Scott Schuman ) last september during fashion week . 

La settimana della moda milanese è ai nastri di partenza. Da oggi fino al 28 Febbraio alcuni degli stilisti più famosi del globo sfileranno sulla passerella e io prometto di tenere gli occhi aperti per individuare i più trendy diy. Oggi vorrei condividere con voi qualche look che ho immortalato (fingendo di essere Scott Schuman) lo scorso settembre a Milano durante la fashion week .

Versace show

Believe it or not, this unexpected pop of color walking down the street is Anna Dello Russo. I know it's not a great pic but she's the fastest fashion vision you can encounter. She was literally running in high heels from a show to another and I wasn't fast enough to catch her.

Milano fashion week: my report part 2

The report from Milano fashion week continues...

Entering Versace palace feels like entering a temple, the sanctuary of the Medusa that stares the invited taking their seats from enlighted arches. There was a lot of electricity and excitement in the air from the upcoming show. The models started to appear on the catwalk and every look was a killer one. This is a celebration of Versace style: studs,colors and prints are mixed together to create a number of breathtaking dresses. The colors are:white, black,mint,yellow and light blue.The theme is the sea so sea stars and seahorses both decorate the cloths. Dresses are really feminine and sexy: they are either tight to follow and enhance women curves or  floaty with deep slits. Models look like both like greek goddesses and like Donatella clones. Most dresses are heavy covered with studs but the effect is not punk or aggressive (except for the black dresses) is more an heavy embellish that give an idea of extreme luxe.
As Donatella Versace appeared there was an ovation and she walked down the catwalk with confidence among the claps.
Omg she has the tiniest waist!...just saying.

Another much awaited show (more crowded than a rock concert!) was Blumarine. The collection is all about flashy,saturated colors and 80s kitsch.  Plastic flowers have the leading role, they cover shoes and entire dresses. Orange, pink,yellow and white are dazzling. The concept of sensuality and its symbols are taken to the extreme: flowers are big and cover most shoes and dresses, lips are used as a pattern, colors are bold and dresses are tight. The 80s are quoted often: there are funny leg warmers, mini motorcycle jackets, neon colors and mini pouches attached to belts! It a colored,funny, excessive collection, I mean, there are furs for summer!
The details I liked more were the rafia trimming onto the skirts and the rafia bags, they really make me think of summer. The plastic flowers are funny too (and so diyable) and I liked them more onto the dresses that on shoes and I definitely wouldn't mind a small jackets covered with flowers.

This is a view of the set of Gabriele Colangelo show. Colangelo is one of the young designer who showed his collection during Milano fashion week. His collection is wearable and artistic at the same time. His dresses look like walking paintings. The inspiration is the sunset at the sea and its colors: white, pink,blue,yellow.
What I like of Colangelo design is that the focus is on new fabrics and materials more than on shapes. This time fabrics are translucent, rarefied or printed, they really look like water.

Milano fashion week: my report:

Today I'm here to tell you I went close to the source of style and fashion, where all the trends come to life: this year I had the incredible opportunity to take part to the extraordinary and glamourous Milano fashion week. I had the chance to attend some of the hottest shows and to snap a few pictures of streetstyle fashion. You can imagine how exciting it was: I had a big smile on my face all the time. Below you'll find some of the pics I took and during the next few days I'll review in detail the shows.

Moschino

 

Spain is the inspiration, women becomes toreadores with heavy embellished jackets, sensual mujeres with flowers headbands and cowgirls covered with fringes. The hippy, painted leather jacket is a tribute to the playful creativity of Franco Moschino.

 

The photographers in front of the runway ready to snap the model looks

Here the competion for a good spot is fierce and when the show is about to start they all scream: "get out of the way!" to everyone in their trajectory and "brava!" to the models that esitate a little before turning around allowing them to snap a good picture.

Antonio Marras

aren't these furry pointy shoes cute? I think they're more wearable compared to those by Alexander Wang fall 2012 

a poccible diy: a small piece of fur could be glued onto a clip to create an on/off fluffy embellishment for shoes

Etro

A view of Etro show scenery, a white space interrupted by colored pillows in a variety of different patterns!

Veronica Etro inspiration were the twenties and their flapper dresses but there's nothing retro on the runway, the clean lines of the roaring years are taken to the present and made alive by a countless number of beautiful patterns: colored,beaded and black and white. All the dresses become tridimentional with fringes that move as the models step forward.
