MILAN FASHION WEEK SPRING 2012 - D&G (The Final Cut)

It was announced this morning at Milan fashion week that D&G will be merged into Dolce& Gabbana mainline, so this was the last D&G show as you know the brand. Whatever the show must go one and D&G made a beautiful goodbye to the fans with the upbeat of Prince.

It was all about colorful scarves which made mini dresses, tops, sarongs, shorts, hats and shoes. I think that the scarves obssession carries a certain symbolism because we said goodbye with scarves, don't we?

Foi anunciado esta manhã no âmbito da semana da moda de Milão que a D&G iria ser fundida com a marca principal Dolce&Gabbana, pelo este será o último desfile da etiqueta D&G como a conhecemos. De qualquer forma "The show must go on" e a marca fez uma bonita despedida para os seus fans ao som das batidas de Prince.

A colecção resume-se a lenços coloridos e estampados usados como mini vestidos, shorts, tops, sarongs, chapéus e até sapatos. Penso que esta obssessão por lenços carrega um certo simbolismo já que é a despedida se faz acenando lenços, não é?

MILAN FASHION WEEK SPRING 2012 - FENDI

I always admire Lagerfeld's fashion breath. You may like him or not but the man is a true phenomenon and it seems that his imagination and capacity of work is limitless. I loved the collection mainly the sexy glamorous feminine silhouette. And of course I loved the styling and beauty of the show, the big shades are amazing and they remind me the ones that Portuguese designer Alexandra Moura created for her Spring/Summer 2011 show at Modalisboa (See it HERE), did you rememeber?

INSPIRATION: THE MAN'S SKIRT

A volte la creatività per le via supera le sfilate di moda ...
Sometimes creativity on the streets overcomes the fashion shows ...
Por vezes a criatividade na rua supera a dos desfiles de moda...

MILAN FASHION WEEK SPRING 2012 - FRANCESCO SCOGNAMIGLIO

Only for Lady Gaga's fans and lace addicts, this Scognamiglio's collection is all about maximum exposure of the body parts that most woman likes to hide, except Gaga of course. Unless you think that sheer lace belongs only to underwear, I think some pieces are very wearable if mixed with solid fabrics.

Warning: A show is a show, so make copy past of it in your everyday wardorbe could be really dangerous. A show is to inspire you, nothing more, nothing less.

MILAN FASHION WEEK SPRING 2012 - ALBERTA FERRETTI

Some beautiful staff and sun-kissed girls came from the sea. I loved the lightness and the crochet handmade work.

MILAN FASHION WEEK SPRING 2012 - GUCCI (part 2)

This afternoon Frida Gianinni showed her proposals for Gucci Spring 2012 in Milan and she started the most sexy and body-conscious fashion week of the world - the Italian fashion! About this Gucci woman I must confessed that I'm a bit tired of fashion clichés as Art Deco influences, Gatsby's style, and vintage staff of the 20's and 60's. When I watched the video of the show everything reminds me the Tom Ford's look (and he was a Gucci's boy also), maybe the fringes, the glitter, the boyish style, whatever, I'm a little disappointed with Gianinni's work for the next hot season. Nothing new in the horizon and much of this collection's vibes came from the Gucci's archives with some upgrades. For me it's not enough.

Esta tarde Frida Gianinni mostrou as suas propostas para a Gucci da próxima Primavera 2012, em Milão. Frida inaugurou, assim, a semana mais quente e sexy do fashion world - a moda milanesa. Sobre esta colecção da Gucci para a estação quente, tenho que confessar que fiquei um pouco decepcionada porque estou cansada dos clichés da moda actual que repetem à exaustão influencias de Art Déco ao estilo Gatsy, das vibrações vintage dos anos 20 e da década de 60. Quando vi o video do show veio-me à memória o look Tom Ford que também já passou pela Gucci. Talvez tenham sido as franjas, os brilhos, o pendor da estética masculina, umfacto é que me habituei a esperar um fôlego mais inovador do trabalho de Gianinni. Nada de novo no horizonte, sendo que a maior parte da inspiração da colecção vem dos arquivos da Gucci com alguns upgrades. Para mim não é suficiente.
