I saw it in the flesh (fabric?) today, and let me just say, this picture really doesn't do it justice. I'm in love.
Flowers and bows and pleats, oh my
Kind of having a love affair with River Island right now. It's hard not to when you're surprised by such genuinely beautiful pieces, like this dress.
I saw it in the flesh (fabric?) today, and let me just say, this picture really doesn't do it justice. I'm in love.

Milan's Favourites
O que têm em comum Alberta Ferretti, Jil Sander, Marni e Prada? As quatro marcas apresentaram as suas colecções a semana passada em Milão e com óptimas reacções pelo público e críticos.
Colecções que nos relembram o porquê do sucesso destas marcas, apesar dos seus diferentes estilos.
What do Alberta Ferretti, Jil Sander, Marni and Prada have in common? The four labels presented their collections last week in Milan and with great reactions from the public and critics.
Collections that remind us why they're so successful, each in their own style.
Alberta Ferretti, com a sua eterna elegância e subtileza apresenta uma colecção que, à semelhança do que se viu em Nova York e mesmo em alguns desfiles em Londres, nos leva de volta aos anos 20. Com uma silhueta recta e cintura descaída, surgem vestidos com um toque de transparência e de figuras geométricas inspiradas em motivos africanos.
Alberta Ferretti with its eternal elegance and subtlety presents a collection that, as seen in New York and even some shows in London, takes us back to the roaring 20's. With a straight silhouette and a dropped waistline, come sheer dresses and geometric figures inspired in African motifs.
Em Jil Sander Raf Simons começa o desfile com a tradicional camisa branca, ícone da marca, reconstruída num sofisticado vestido branco.
Entre a pureza dos looks totais brancos, a cor e silhueta dos anos 50, surgem também pinturas de Picasso, numa paleta monocromática que, segundo Raf Simons, é o ícone do modernismo. O branco total e a icónica camisa voltam no fim do desfile para um grande final, num fascinante vestido de noiva para a "mulher Jil Sander".
At Jil Sander Raf Simons starts the runway with the traditional white poplin shirt reconstructed into a sophisticated white dress.
Between the total white looks' purity, the 50's silhouette and colours, we can also see the outlines of Picasso's paintings, which according to Raf Simons is the icon of Modernism, in a monochromatic palette. The total white and the label's iconic shirt come back for the great finale in a stunning "Jil Sander" wedding dress.
Se em Alberta Ferretti acolhemos a silhueta dos anos 20, em Marni Consuelo Castiglioni traz-nos de volta os anos 60 e 70. Numa colecção que apela à inocência e pureza, com um toque clássico, assistimos ao evolução das roupas assim como da mulher representada. O desfile começa com uma série de interpretações do babydoll em tons suaves e pastéis mostrando-nos uma mulher inocente e jovem, mas ao longo do desfile vamos observando um crescimento e amadurecimento, passando por uma fase florida, padrões geométricos trazidos dos anos 70, e deixando os tons pastéis para trás para passar aos tons mais profundos de azuis e verdes.
And if in Alberta Ferretti we celebrated the 20's silhouette, at Marni Consuelo Castiglioni brings us back the 60's and 70's. In a collection that embraces innocence and purity, with a touch of classic, we sit and watch to the evolution of clothes and of the woman throughout the show. The runway begins with a series of babydolls interpretations in soft and pastel tones showing us a young and naive woman, but as the runway continues we can watch a growth and maturing, going through a floral phase, 70's geometric motifs, and leaving behind the soft tones that are replaced by deep blues and greens.
Por último, Prada substituiu o estampado de bananas que marcou a temporada passada por carros. Numa atitude de eterna infância em silhuetas bastante femininas e elegantes dos anos 50, podemos ver saias, tops, casacos de seda com estampados de pequenas miniaturas de carros desenhados. Desde saias plissadas a saias em pele, Miuccia Prada traz-nos uma colecção que une a doçura da mulher com a sofisticação.
Last but not least, Prada replaced last season's banana's print for cars. In an eternal childhood attitude allied with a very feminine and elegant 50's silhouette, we can see dresses, skirts, tops and silky jackets filled with printed miniatures of cartoon cars. From pleaded skirts to leather, Miuccia Prada brings us a collection that unites sweetness with sophistication.
Próxima paragem? Paris!
Next stop? Paris!

BEST LOOKS FROM FASHION WEEKS
Think the scene outside of the fashion weeks was even better than the shows themselves this season. Cool it girls & fashion editors show us how to style up our looks with no fear! Lots of neon brights & prints, huge envelope clutches, piles of chunky bracelet, ethnic details etcetc...These girls definitely have a headstart on Spring 2012!

BEST OF SPRING 2012: JASON WU, PRADA, J MENDEL
Amazing colours, dramatic skirts, preppy, poppy, and soo wearable.!
This season's collections in general have been disappointing, maybe because there hasn't been too much of the OTT stuff, just very very wearable stuff. Some would possibly even say mainstream. Hmm.. not that I mind.. But I am pretty sure we will see plenty of knock offs down the line..
