Milan Fashion Week AW 12 - Blumarine

Many autumn winter collections tend to be quite dark, but the one Anna Molinari prepared for Blumarine was anything but, yet it represented many big trends for the next season. First of all fur is going to be huge and I love the colourful options. Also a big furry bag has been seen on many catwalks including this one.
But what I loved the most are all the metallic pieces. Get ready to shine an wear metallic in any shape and form. The dresses that closed this show were exquisite. Some were very mermaid like in the best possible way. The attention to detail and finishing touches were abolutely amazing. What do you think?
Have a stylish day.

Trends from Milan

It's the last day of Milan Fashion Week tomorrow. Can you believe it?! Then it's Paris and then the end of fashion month for another season. Judging by what we've seen so far, it's going to be a good summer. I've got a wish list the lengh of my arm.
There are some strong trends emerging from Milan already and I wanted to look at some of them. It's all very different from New York and London (Italian know best) but some are the same. Prints will be HUGE next year. They were everywhere and in all shapes and forms. From cars (Prada) to sea creatures(Versace) through florals and animal and everything between. Blumarine went overboard with flowers and used them on accessories too, plus there were appliqué flowers -another big trend. Roberto Cavali is known for his love of animal print and his Just Cavalli show didn't disappoint. It was very western inspired, expect fringing, fur, feather, cowboy hats, the lot.
Marni was one of many brands that gave us big earrings. Yes it's time for your ears to get more attention, as dangling accessory is essential! Again there's plenty of options. If you prefer minimalist look Marni has that too, but the number one choice is Jil Sander. Raf Simmons have done amazingly for the label and they've become big trend setters so prepare for Paisley as well.
Bottega Veneta Is mostly known for their leather goods, but the rest is just as good. This year they showed amazing strong colour palette and clothes in beautiful silouetthes and cuts. Sexy and sophisticated.
I mentioned before bare midrifs and they keep occurring so count yourself warned. For now that's all and loads more coming.
Have a stylish day.

Blumarine - Milan Fashion Week

I absolutely loved Blumarine AW'10 collection. Well I like their clothes, so it's not just this season, that I was excited about what they were gonna bring us. There was a great rock'n'roll vibe, which I love, loads of animal prints, sexy minidresses and great coats. Here are my favourite looks.
Have a stylish day.

summer dressing by Blumarine

When the sun comes out I straight away feel more positive and want to wear more colourfull clothes. It lifts my mood and I can't wait to get rid of some layers. As you probably know by now I have this obsession with pink, but there are many beautiful colours out there and the SS'10 catwalks were full of them. One that stood out for me was by Blumarine. Very playfull, colourfull and so wearable. I've also added a look which may not be as colourfull, but is such a great outfit for the hot months. Bring on the summer!
Have a stylish day.
