MFW diary: Our cheat sheet of highlights from a Sunday full of Marni, Dolce Gabbana, Salvatore Ferragamo, Aquilano.Rimondi, and Versus

Comments

Sunday may be a day of rest for some, but here in Milan the pace is fast and furious (no time for even a gelato stop!). In a jam-packed day of shows, here are the highlights:

Marni: We saw naïve and childlike daisy prints, ice cream colours, and a new silhouette for Consuelo Castiglioni that focused on a fitted waist and dramatic A-line shapes; that, plus the craftiness we’ve come to expect each season—the embroidery, raffia, crochet, patent, bright trim on spectator bags and shoes—and more geometric prints than high school math class.

MFW diary: Milan heats up with a strong Versace collection fit for a modern mermaid

Comments

Billy Idol‘s “Hot in the City” played on soundtrack as Donatella Versace‘s modern mermaids paraded the catwalk in under-the-sea neoprene gold studded scuba jackets, white hot short suits, and bandeau brassieres with slim pencil skirts in pretty pastel, sea shell and sea-horse prints. Save for the pageant worthy finale gowns, it was short, sexy and ultra feminine—certainly fit for a new-age Ariel.

MFW diary: Invasion of the pillow snatchers at Etro

Comments

What’s with me and pillow pilferers at Etro? Once again this season, I took my seat, waited patiently for the show to start, behaved myself like a good girl, minded my own business and quietly admired the purple paisley pillow seat cushion I would bring home to add to my daughter Molly’s collection. But alas, foiled again!

Just like at the Spring ’10 show, my pillow was grabbed out from under me—by some greedy robber! This time, sadly, I didn’t get a chance to grab it back. But the show must go on.
