Forward five months and the same dress appears in a scene of Gossip Girl, worn by our favourite television fashionista, Blair Waldorf. The pretty pink dress is from Alberta Ferretti's Fall 2011 collection, and features a tie-up halter neck and embellished doubled tiered skirt.</span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br /><br /></span></b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br /><br /></span></b></span></span></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmVL7C-S53eaaLNK2vMH8fphretnS_RL03W1FxwvNWcf2IqG6iERq4Kd6P4zMBawz1jes0XtZ8aHX1IKk7Ctp4iby3uxR_nlGo1L7-EDRrxUegawHLenBjEkHb_4PyjQC1Foc-pacFqIxl/s1600/alberta+ferretti+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><img border="0" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmVL7C-S53eaaLNK2vMH8fphretnS_RL03W1FxwvNWcf2IqG6iERq4Kd6P4zMBawz1jes0XtZ8aHX1IKk7Ctp4iby3uxR_nlGo1L7-EDRrxUegawHLenBjEkHb_4PyjQC1Foc-pacFqIxl/s640/alberta+ferretti+.jpg" width="640" /></span></b></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Left:</span></b> <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Camilla Belle</span> </b>wore the salmon pink dress to the 'Good Housekeeping Annual Shine On Awards' on 12 April in New York City.

She takes the original dress and gives it so much more life and character. </span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What do you think?</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span>

I say 'terribly' organised, because there were no invitations sent out for the event or, if there were, most of us didn't get one. Unless that was the point...hmmm. I ended up going anyway, sans misplaced invite; where a meagre 25 out of our entire class of 150 students turned up.</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: auto;"><br /><br /></div></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">I heard about the gathering from a few friends – some of which refused to attend, claiming that they “didn't want to see <i>those</i> people again”. I see that high school politics don't just stay in school. It can follow you through life long afterwards. Initially, I didn't plan on going, but at the last minute, curiosity got the better of me as I wondered what everyone from our class had gotten up to in the past few years. It took me ages to walk the short distance from my car to the Sporthius (sports centre). I must have stopped at least five times on the way, freezing in 5 degree weather; thinking, “Should I go? Should I turn back? I haven't seen any of these people in ages. How awkward is it going to be?"</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">By the time I made it there (after much debate), most of the folks were merrily punch drunk, so if any of them didn't recognize me, I'm assuming it's because they had blurry vision. I must also admit that <i>I</i> (in my completely sober state) could barely recognize anyone either. Who would have thought that people I'd known my whole schooling career could change so much in such a short time. The ones you'd least expect (and who used to slack off at school) have established high-powered, successful careers, and the ones I never thought would settle down are now married, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;">with</span> kids. Some are living their big city dreams, while others found contentment in the simplicity of small town life. No one was surprised to find out that I am still somehow 'involved' with fashion. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: auto;">It was marvelous catching up with good old friends, and even better to see that they have remained as warm and wonderful as I remembered. It was also unfortunate to see that the people who thought that they were better than everyone else back then, still do. Every high school cliché that you watch in the movies truly does exist; each person I met at the reunion is living proof of it. It's funny how certain titles stay with you for the rest of your life.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"></span><br /><br />I'm actually glad that I went, it made me look back and appreciate how easy and uncomplicated things were. All we lived for were those 30 minute lunch breaks and school holidays; and the most stressful thing we ever had to encounter was the next maths exam.<br /><br />All those awful Accounting lessons, Physics extra class and Shakespeare essays were almost worth it in the end. <i>Almost</i>. High school was just a drop in the ocean of life...we all have so many more seas to swim, paths to travel, storms to face and rays of sunshine to bask in.<br /><br /><br /><br /></div></span>

Milan Fashion Week Favourites 2011 - Part Two

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Milan Fashion Week</span></span></b></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999;">Spring/Summer 2012<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /><br /></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"></span></span></span></b></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is the second chapter of my favourite runway picks of Milan Fashion Week. Some of the major trends that came out of Italy this year are: the bare midriff, pleated skirts, crocheting, bold floral prints, sheer fabrics, flowing floor-length gowns and the pencil skirt. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><br /><br /></span></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Dolce and Gabbana </span></span></b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO5hDd_hzdC4oX_EnuXVE-BLVxKx6AF2llbmaSHOZ4T_csOYmOXq33KgTxyeqjfegEnQ-78SsPu9UahOMrWMaHAkU4mI-zwQVh_yWKci0qiwJJFhvjk2zOHMAoMTv_8YhF3WOpN2091vuc/s1600/milanfw1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO5hDd_hzdC4oX_EnuXVE-BLVxKx6AF2llbmaSHOZ4T_csOYmOXq33KgTxyeqjfegEnQ-78SsPu9UahOMrWMaHAkU4mI-zwQVh_yWKci0qiwJJFhvjk2zOHMAoMTv_8YhF3WOpN2091vuc/s640/milanfw1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Only <b>Dolce & Gabbana</b> can make vegetable prints look seriously sexy. Spicy chillies, red onions, yellow bell peppers, plum tomatoes and purple aubergines were printed onto the 50's style silhouettes. The idyllic Italian summer collection advanced into coquettish cocktail wear, with sheer full-skirted dresses delicately cast over frilly bustier tops. Knee-length frocks were garnished with colourful gems and floral motifs. To further enforce the food-inspired theme, models wore farfalle and macaroni shaped earrings, and strings of pasta around their necks. The colourful straw baskets are suited for an outing to the local fruit & veg market.</span></div><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Ermanno Scervino</span></span></span></b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpT4sJxiGKIjX9yG2rEJx7WcB1LfBonjwJvwerZbujNHOLs9OXEclTNPkdoxKWiK8K2RncutLpfAXoMpZU_4O59BlvnGYtKyGn3UKP-E2cN9Bfqw2-M97ZwptVy8n4MtPYKrp7Udtc9j28/s1600/milanfw2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpT4sJxiGKIjX9yG2rEJx7WcB1LfBonjwJvwerZbujNHOLs9OXEclTNPkdoxKWiK8K2RncutLpfAXoMpZU_4O59BlvnGYtKyGn3UKP-E2cN9Bfqw2-M97ZwptVy8n4MtPYKrp7Udtc9j28/s640/milanfw2.jpg" width="640" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b> Ermanno Scervino's</b> Spring 2012 collection was misted with a delicate spray of romance. Shades of pistachio, sea sand, blizzard blue and whipped cream gently washed across the stage. Satin negligées edged with lace stood-in as daywear. Courtly coats were coupled with pencil skirts. Tiered ruffles unfolded onto gossamer skirts. A beautifully feminine and refined collection for a modern day princess, royal or not.</span></div><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Antonio Marras</span></span></b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0W8TfKeQmh9DwOtDasSgyOERmhijS96hsWv8LWbtGl3ZEaDqWAQ5b_ZuMtRyjE4kE8-nXOP4aEEoYVZMxU1Qt0NcK-U6Y9rH2VFKRI6foJ8NDz5rJAqGQh0Em92AUcygAwFjAVV8FIZDC/s1600/milanfw4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0W8TfKeQmh9DwOtDasSgyOERmhijS96hsWv8LWbtGl3ZEaDqWAQ5b_ZuMtRyjE4kE8-nXOP4aEEoYVZMxU1Qt0NcK-U6Y9rH2VFKRI6foJ8NDz5rJAqGQh0Em92AUcygAwFjAVV8FIZDC/s640/milanfw4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Antonio Marras</b> was inspired by French writer Jean Genet's 1947 play, <i>The Maids</i>, when putting together his Spring range. His colours of choice: a splash of cerise, violet, intense teals and greens, all underset by pale ivory and jet black. But it was the luminous yellow pointed heels that solicited most of my attention. Colour blocking collided with silky floral prints. Simple t-shirts were worn with generously cut skirts. There was also a good measure of leather and drapery. A striking collection that will look as good off the catwalk as on.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Giorgio Armani</span></span></b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA7045Xfyz9iYm1aRLpfnSaooyyVQOn_fVvwOKkntX8WqbNYTLluDI_EBfjpIgW633AYVjhFi15b1156EH3JsiD9Kt64n9R8Z_Z_zqBQbAWhohyphenhyphenw3mnPPishK7bXwPmZD0wQWMQuUgJ-Ec/s1600/milan+fw2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA7045Xfyz9iYm1aRLpfnSaooyyVQOn_fVvwOKkntX8WqbNYTLluDI_EBfjpIgW633AYVjhFi15b1156EH3JsiD9Kt64n9R8Z_Z_zqBQbAWhohyphenhyphenw3mnPPishK7bXwPmZD0wQWMQuUgJ-Ec/s640/milan+fw2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Giorgio Armani's </b>Spring collection swims in a deep blue sea of inspiration. He takes us on an underwater excursion with sophisticated designs soaked in pearlescent satin. Lacquered indigo cigarette pants were cropped with slits up to the knee. There are fitted silk jackets for the day, and shimmering beaded cardigans for night. Strapless evening gowns are molded to resemble seashells. Armani always interests me with his customary use of layering, in this case, fluid blue fabrics tier down to create a waterfall effect. This is an aquatic adventure that ripples with elegance and maturity.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Roberto Cavalli</span></span></b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBVYMiysUz-uFuuTqXXciWKuhyphenhyphen4qL1N9MVIaPkoNVunDri0s4_HuLTODcNTNKuWS5d5fOYIhF48gGD__5b1_A1m4DRdJqxTclM3jTLxYMkrzTw9xhbdPYTXahW5Gv_8tGH2j9tM8NsJuec/s1600/mfw+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="460" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBVYMiysUz-uFuuTqXXciWKuhyphenhyphen4qL1N9MVIaPkoNVunDri0s4_HuLTODcNTNKuWS5d5fOYIhF48gGD__5b1_A1m4DRdJqxTclM3jTLxYMkrzTw9xhbdPYTXahW5Gv_8tGH2j9tM8NsJuec/s640/mfw+3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Roberto Cavalli's</b> Spring showcase oozes with gilded glamour and exuberance. It is a head turning collection that is entrenched in excessiveness. An overindulgence of floral and animal prints and an abundance of beads. There was a surplus of lustrous gold jackets, two-toned pleated skirts, impeccably fit trousers and multi-strap drop-waisted dresses. Black and white tuxedo jackets were cleverly used to modulate the ornate looks. I love the sheer tulle embellished gowns. Simply breathtaking.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Salvatore Ferragamo</span></span></b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTWjOTtBSRfo0BRpO8n0Xbc2CBcQEpv_snk7jVC8iayy9b6H53dlFazaw2yilB3aEx0FeCBejav2YUVW7o6qeIvb4WExMq6lXzuy5_7VQBAeoGpSbLmEHmO9fHG4BB9uQNN5-oaPF9m-aU/s1600/milanfw7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTWjOTtBSRfo0BRpO8n0Xbc2CBcQEpv_snk7jVC8iayy9b6H53dlFazaw2yilB3aEx0FeCBejav2YUVW7o6qeIvb4WExMq6lXzuy5_7VQBAeoGpSbLmEHmO9fHG4BB9uQNN5-oaPF9m-aU/s640/milanfw7.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Salvatore Ferregamo's</b> Spring range is sustained by charismatic evening gowns in opulent colours.

Exotic tropical prints furnished handkerchief dresses, tulip-wrapped skirts, jumpsuits and loosely fit pants. Thigh high slits and key-hole halter necks were incorporated into the silk scarf gowns. I like designer Massimiliano Giornetti's refreshing take on colour blocking. A trip to the tropics has never been this glamorous.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div>

Milan Fashion Week Favourites 2011 - Part One

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Milan Fashion Week</span></span></b></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999;">Spring/Summer 2012<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /><br /></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"></span></span></span></b></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Milan Fashion Week started out spectacularly, showcasing Italy's most talented designers from 21-27 September. What I like about this fashion week is the diversity of the collections, each designer has such a unique vision and signature style. These are some of my favourite ranges thus far. Click on the pictures for a closer view.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"></span></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Alberta Ferretti</span></span></b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcVa8ZHI4XsmcpJT_p-yA22jW6v-4fWJ7XOoR-EhOcd9kk3OMVDu-ztKLgQ-DaXNsvq9CSCg7qEXDQtCNiIi4jBUSWHjgwlimI3sDTiqW4d3y5CJXmHOtZMVd9JUOiBGdUgqq92R1Q3ame/s1600/mfw1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcVa8ZHI4XsmcpJT_p-yA22jW6v-4fWJ7XOoR-EhOcd9kk3OMVDu-ztKLgQ-DaXNsvq9CSCg7qEXDQtCNiIi4jBUSWHjgwlimI3sDTiqW4d3y5CJXmHOtZMVd9JUOiBGdUgqq92R1Q3ame/s640/mfw1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sexy slip dresses wrapped in silk were at the forefront of <b>Alberta Ferretti's </b>Spring 2011 range. The tropical theme was conveyed by palm-leaf prints and floaty gowns in a rainforest of colours. Sheer linear cut-outs and satin-block panels kept the simple sheaths from being monotonous. Crochet knits and intaglio printing added a bit of texture. Models sported natural sun kissed make-up, tousled beach waves and stunning strappy sandals.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Gucci</span></span></b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCpYohw-InzgHhYruHhaQx8pEIk_mV-vxflArOx_QDMyHpEQl7M8TAb7IHD0qUDeUWmdZnGn6rpn5XH9_K6sVe7NuuggqejBFSI1Gc0wYQt1gZqFr3Lo-eSadnh31Qmvbr04KRG2eRdpyR/s1600/mfw2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCpYohw-InzgHhYruHhaQx8pEIk_mV-vxflArOx_QDMyHpEQl7M8TAb7IHD0qUDeUWmdZnGn6rpn5XH9_K6sVe7NuuggqejBFSI1Gc0wYQt1gZqFr3Lo-eSadnh31Qmvbr04KRG2eRdpyR/s640/mfw2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Gucci <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">provided a modern twist to a</span></b> roaring 20's styled collection. A handful of bold tones coloured in strong lines - green, gold, black and white made up a sophisticated range; inspired by the architectural lines of New York's Chrysler Building. Masculine suits were glamorized with high-waisted pants, and gold-trimmed collarless coats. Fringed flapper dresses with drop-waists glimmered with bugle beadwork. Each look is individually striking, and all together it forms a compelling range that we can be sure to see on many celebrities next Spring.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">D&G</span></b></span></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc4POgDfjpsxcO5fSeENZQ2DiMZWSxqCnaArDGgf_epGkf5QdN1vMnc0naaODwhLiU7JLhyphenhyphenyOtGiqVaj57HWW13FOu_BznvkpPSNzl1A0S3ITnwPrGAYJ2HJCsVPqboMCfd6KzXIMb9dI-/s1600/mfw3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc4POgDfjpsxcO5fSeENZQ2DiMZWSxqCnaArDGgf_epGkf5QdN1vMnc0naaODwhLiU7JLhyphenhyphenyOtGiqVaj57HWW13FOu_BznvkpPSNzl1A0S3ITnwPrGAYJ2HJCsVPqboMCfd6KzXIMb9dI-/s640/mfw3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> The younger and more cosmopolitan <b>D&G</b> brand will merge with it's founding label, <i>Dolce and Gabbana </i>after this final Spring 2012 showing. Models were whirled in a sea of what looked like Hermés scarves, in a potpourri of prints. Even wedge-heel sandals were wrapped with printed scarves. There was a multitude of long, billowing gowns, fit for an exotic seaside vacation. Polychromatic prints covered everything - denim shirts, luxurious satin suits, clutch bags, jackets and mini dresses. <b>D&G's</b> swan song was a cheery farewell to a well-loved brand, one that will be pleasantly remembered.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Prada</span></b></span></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRQoJZe6u65kZYKGGZrRWjWpAeqhtHqLM_FoijRJh0dBABbIku_yH95tIJyZXE4dqtVDJ3PEmFmrz7MK5hW0sh9q0WyUiX5c_uXKhEi_kxjstVkWkVGQuGlI-lafxXtGWUwlDdht-eUE2d/s1600/mfw5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRQoJZe6u65kZYKGGZrRWjWpAeqhtHqLM_FoijRJh0dBABbIku_yH95tIJyZXE4dqtVDJ3PEmFmrz7MK5hW0sh9q0WyUiX5c_uXKhEi_kxjstVkWkVGQuGlI-lafxXtGWUwlDdht-eUE2d/s640/mfw5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've never seen a cartoon car print on a designer dress before, but <b>Prada</b> does so with unusual elegance. Miuccia's 50's style silhouettes that were edged with exhaust flames made for interesting viewing. The automative masculine theme was toned down by soft pastel pleated dresses in sweet pink, mint green, sky blue and lemonade. Leather skirts echoed the interior of a car. Fern green, brick-red and navy floral appliqués were crocheted onto oversized felt coats. The little-boy-pajama-print may not be to everyone's liking, but this will surely be one of the most recognizable collections of the forthcoming season.</span></div><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Emilio Pucci</span></span></b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmNCM32hFF1ZuBE320rxRW1kZ1ErO40wFqMvkjCaoRD8tcajPEB8ty42NE3LZhzWHBqEaQjrJ4kJjlP067997Xu5BoGjy_zC3pV4BxpuOqKySxXjjyPMecZJTej5NkQZNhr40WCz_pqrFR/s1600/mfw6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="460" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmNCM32hFF1ZuBE320rxRW1kZ1ErO40wFqMvkjCaoRD8tcajPEB8ty42NE3LZhzWHBqEaQjrJ4kJjlP067997Xu5BoGjy_zC3pV4BxpuOqKySxXjjyPMecZJTej5NkQZNhr40WCz_pqrFR/s640/mfw6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was all about the bare midriff at <b>Emilio Pucci's</b> Spring 2012 showcase. Designer Peter Dundas introduces the enigmatic gypsy girl - decked in paisley printed peasant tops, lacey circle skirts and floaty bohemian gowns. On the casual side, wide-leg trousers and shorts were paired with printed blouses, making use of scarves as belts. The lingerie-inspired aspect was visible through the delicate bustier tops, sheer skirts and gentle frills. Models wore sultry smokey eyes and loose hair with a side swept fringe.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Blugirl</span></span></b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZrqfb4tflImP6N3lKmWZXiSER6Xyq1ygr_69eCiomXQyusodgDokz_ySvZjgqDQZMRh6_SvzxO_Ks8uFEfARv7EFIIDciHZQuvod1EHLbi_Mb2dZbR-4aJ9i4dTgkw4oDl2T6N8w5Vmo_/s1600/milanfw3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZrqfb4tflImP6N3lKmWZXiSER6Xyq1ygr_69eCiomXQyusodgDokz_ySvZjgqDQZMRh6_SvzxO_Ks8uFEfARv7EFIIDciHZQuvod1EHLbi_Mb2dZbR-4aJ9i4dTgkw4oDl2T6N8w5Vmo_/s640/milanfw3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Aimed a more youthful market, Blumarine's trendier line, <b>Blugirl, </b>presented a sweet dose of femininity for Spring 2012. Endearing candy coloured dresses were coated in flowers, bows and frills. Wafty, sheer printed gowns resembled a beautiful spring garden. Charming cardigans accompanied flirty little dresses, slim bowed belts nipped in waists and flowery necklaces adorned necks. Colour-blocked heels and clutch bags supplemented the spritely ensembles. I like the variety in this collection - theres stylish workwear, dreamy day dresses and alluring cocktail frocks. </span></div><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Frankie Morello</span></span></b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdFLyBnuNG8_UlIZkOV_4llaNpXEWzwgaYPZtQbmlCO2B-ZKm_ZnGt1opIRDyQCGZPORRlssmTYRPMd1rm2OEAHEvAH6LhPmDvdYCcJigiiUL9MJz28hyphenhyphenkENoEHOpO5j0WYJ-RQuABfrn4/s1600/milanfw6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdFLyBnuNG8_UlIZkOV_4llaNpXEWzwgaYPZtQbmlCO2B-ZKm_ZnGt1opIRDyQCGZPORRlssmTYRPMd1rm2OEAHEvAH6LhPmDvdYCcJigiiUL9MJz28hyphenhyphenkENoEHOpO5j0WYJ-RQuABfrn4/s640/milanfw6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The most fun, witty and whimsical collection I've seen all Fashion Week is by <b>Frankie Morello</b>. His 'Souvenir of Italy' Spring range takes you on a Vespa ride through the country's most iconic landmarks - The Tower of Pisa, ancient buildings of Rome, the statue of David, Venetian gondolas, the Trompe-l'oeil, Amalfi Coast and streets of Milan. The tourist-influenced pieces are accessorized with camera necklaces and topped off with outlandish head pieces. Models with a sense of adventure carried backpacks instead of predictable clutch bags. Cycling shorts peeked from under flaired mini skirts, printed pleated fans decorated strapless tops and catchphrase t-shirts are worn with long glossy skirts. It may all be satirical, but you have to admit it <i>is</i> cute.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span id="goog_1366398003"></span><span id="goog_1366398004"></span></b></span>

Christopher Bailey made use of decorative elements like crocheting, wooden beadwork, raffia trims and basket weaved knits. African inspired wooden beads in colourful, geometric shapes were tacked onto tops. Classic leather trenches and cropped parkas were seen in spice-rack shades and tribal prints. Raffia wedge heels, Burberry Whipstitch carrier bags and pom-pom topped caps harmoniously fit in with the cozy theme.</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: auto;"><br /><br /></div></span></div><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Mary Katrantzou</span></span></b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1YroC-vXYPMSRF8yRR2M6bXOg6Zf759e12xE3ObDf2lMyOs1FhV4nYzbQpr8GlWzrbqbSczQcKGyfQHC7235v2l90EVbtR9tUV137OtqNduECeC-dUcnTkup_o8WXtJPs2RVvDKVC9ESp/s1600/lfw2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="452" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1YroC-vXYPMSRF8yRR2M6bXOg6Zf759e12xE3ObDf2lMyOs1FhV4nYzbQpr8GlWzrbqbSczQcKGyfQHC7235v2l90EVbtR9tUV137OtqNduECeC-dUcnTkup_o8WXtJPs2RVvDKVC9ESp/s640/lfw2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Electric colours and dizzying prints were showed off at <b>Mary Katrantzou's </b>Spring 2012 fashion show.

The graphics in this collection were inspired by two contrasting themes - the splendor of nature and the metallic aspect of spray cans and car-crushed sculptures. Green, orange and blue lipstick mirrored the colourful clothes.

The Scottish designer was inspired by the soft, summery shades of Miami - pool blues, yellow rays of sunshine, palm greens, Florida oranges. Saunders, who's talent lies in silk-screening, submitted a string of 50's style dresses in a pretty paisley-print brocades. Each sugar-coated outfit congruously merged into the next. Gorgeous tie-up wedge heels were worn by virtue of La <i>Louboutin</i>. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Paul Smith</span></span></span></b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKJ5no0Cmye8r3ik2G24BhnBcYeZ9j0pIVaf5Xy3ayAU1icScJBSG1ERtFAzSG8JYP06PU5g0YBiSMjjp20RDWgZrF56cu0AOQscONjgKwR_hqOOKmBGAvpb3jpBVF1Mh7ioavW3Wu3RKJ/s1600/lfw7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKJ5no0Cmye8r3ik2G24BhnBcYeZ9j0pIVaf5Xy3ayAU1icScJBSG1ERtFAzSG8JYP06PU5g0YBiSMjjp20RDWgZrF56cu0AOQscONjgKwR_hqOOKmBGAvpb3jpBVF1Mh7ioavW3Wu3RKJ/s640/lfw7.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Paul Smith</b> provided a welcomed break from all the prints with his Spring 2012 collection. I like the relaxed sophistication conveyed by the outfits and the models; who were simple in flat moccasins, floppy hats, wind-swept hair and sunglasses. The hands-in-pockets approach was underpinned by cropped trousers, drop-waist dresses, casual buttoned-down shirts and comfy-looking tees. Looks were commonly threaded by skinny leather belts. I am coveting those flat yellow ankle boots pictured second from last on the bottom row.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Erdem</span></span></span></b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg70kc2wUZhhv8_vf___-wX9NBv2t8mcuZH_AI67tiCpu9kOc70tG-ZBtFHufPYhjp3Gaj75zLfANlGi04_4pYi0Jk38EgpbLi0_eGeDzriajqBqB7EAKFnP3JmB5pwb23LJ8Gs3OmUKzrC/s1600/lfw8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg70kc2wUZhhv8_vf___-wX9NBv2t8mcuZH_AI67tiCpu9kOc70tG-ZBtFHufPYhjp3Gaj75zLfANlGi04_4pYi0Jk38EgpbLi0_eGeDzriajqBqB7EAKFnP3JmB5pwb23LJ8Gs3OmUKzrC/s640/lfw8.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Turkish-Canadian designer<b> Erdem Moralioglu</b> delivered a floaty and feminine range for Spring 2012. Wispy lace dresses were printed in powder blues, lemon chiffon and blanched almond. Beautifully pleated skirts swayed their way across the Savoy ballroom, where the show was held. Fitted dresses suited for a high society summer afternoon high were knee-length with three quarter sleeves. I like the use of unusual accessories like printed gloves and straw boater hats.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Michael van der Ham</span></span></b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWB-PH13PznH6VmbtsTFI7OypA3MOWS9ZBidVIi6VytqTyeTJyziNeNSnyTduMse3URGmKGNGYpH4PDgn0_pVGeGJj6q5c-aSVuUMNfBKZ4RxK5jTaxXYLv2t-GYdao7noxUFKuuRqIqjJ/s1600/lfw9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWB-PH13PznH6VmbtsTFI7OypA3MOWS9ZBidVIi6VytqTyeTJyziNeNSnyTduMse3URGmKGNGYpH4PDgn0_pVGeGJj6q5c-aSVuUMNfBKZ4RxK5jTaxXYLv2t-GYdao7noxUFKuuRqIqjJ/s640/lfw9.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Michael van der Ham</b> has rightly earned his place at London Fashion Week. The Dutch novice reiterated his signature look with 3D colour collages and a juxtaposition of fabrics and textures. What looks like strips of fabric that is randomly pinned onto garments, is in fact, a result of van der Ham's carefully deliberated creative process. He showed off silk blouses, cropped cigarette pants and pencil skirts wrapped in chiffon. I like the freshness and blithely vibe that this collection offers. The models were accessorized with printed sunglasses and Christian Louboutin T-bar sandals.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Antonio Berardi</span></span></span></b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMeiCI_LTEPauGzi1ax8E9B_yv2q8Hb4KB7-WabacAf8x3dNAoALIXTlBPSXZjRdfMIn1uJWNWYrN7PLfN3vPrKTbJItVKKsRwsGW0eC39mUkI13visAnIsmGwuDA09M5Ibl3oyeRlygNB/s1600/lfw10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMeiCI_LTEPauGzi1ax8E9B_yv2q8Hb4KB7-WabacAf8x3dNAoALIXTlBPSXZjRdfMIn1uJWNWYrN7PLfN3vPrKTbJItVKKsRwsGW0eC39mUkI13visAnIsmGwuDA09M5Ibl3oyeRlygNB/s640/lfw10.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am completely spellbound by <b>Antonio Berardi's</b> Spring 2012 range. This is my favourite collection of Fashion Week thus far. Fabrics in muted tones were animated by lavish beading. I love the fully sequined skinny pants and cropped bejeweled boleros. Ingenious. Billowy chiffon tunics had high necks and rise-and-fall hems. The warrior-inspired theme is manifested through structured jackets and metallic patent leather, while air light empire-waist gowns brought out a softer side. A truly gorgeous and glamourous collection...I must've bumped my head and went to fashion heaven.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div>
