MFW diary: A new neutral at Max Mara and the last D&G show ever

Comments

“Teal is the new neutral,” declares Holt Renfrew‘s fashion director, Barbara Atkin, outside the Max Mara show, pointing to her gorgeous new Givenchy bag. And she’s right. It’s my second day in Milan and I’ve already seen nothing but blue-sky bags cropping up all over town and scattered throughout the front row. Did everyone get the same memo?

Inside the tent, there was a different sort of blue—a pastel (think Ladurée macaroon) aqua that’s been spotted throughout the spring collections. Max Mara mixed it with delicate shades of sand and ivory in a sporty, minimal collection highlighted by racer-back, colour-block dresses, athletic-inspired knee-length leggings (move over Lululemon) and trim little ¾-sleeve, blouson baseball jackets.

FASHION plates: Tutti frutti

Comments

By Randi Bergman and Jordan Porter

“Bop-bop-a-lu-a, a-whop-bam-boo!” Fruity spring runways at Prada and Stella McCartney and had us belting out the ole’ Little Richard classic while channeling our inner Josephine Baker, Carmen Miranda and Anna Dello Russo. A veritable fruit salad of bananas, pineapples, cherries and more, this trend is one that we can’t wait to really sink our teeth into.

MFW diary: Easy as 123 at Fendi and D&G

Comments

I was mesmerized by the soundtrack at Fendi yesterday—James Blake’s “Limit to Your Love”—and the collection in turn was just as beautiful as the music.
 There was a relaxed, easy feeling and a whiff of the English countryside to the felted wool swingy coats, cropped pants, tweedy knit sweat pants, luxe shearlings and furs.
 Karl Lagerfeld previewed a parade of colour and texture with subtle, sophisticated tones in structured top handle bags and in ribbed wooly tights that contrasted beautifully with block heel mary-janes. Shearlings were turned inside out and trimmed with croc. Melton and felted wool in khakis, ochres, and purples made for some boxy, simple leather trimmed totes and even a ruffle turned up in wool as a detachable jabot on blouses and dresses. Easy, rich and relaxed: just the way I’d like to feel and I’m guessing I’m not the only one.

MFW diary: Wardrobe emergency at the Marni outlet

Comments

Today I am a true victim of fashion. In between Fendi and D&G there’s a break just long enough to squeeze in a quick visit to the Marni outlet (on every editor’s must-do list this week). You can tell its fashion week from the number of car/drivers parked in front of the unassuming “secret” address. Through two electronic gates, down a long alley, into an apartment complex mixed with bicycles and hanging laundry we tread until we arrive at the back door entrance of Marni mecca.

Dispatch from Milan: The power of the flower at D&G

D&G Spring 2011. Photography by Peter Stigter

If the seed package and botanically-inspired invitation wasn’t enough of a clue, D&G‘s garden runway, chock full of fresh roses and peonies, was all you needed to get the theme of their spring collection, and fresh and adorable it was! The message was loud and clear: Life’s a picnic! And why not, when you’re decked out in head-to-toe floral chiffon, gingham head scarves, crocheted lace, brightly-coloured canvas totes, aprons, blooming bloomers, woven gingham wedgies and wellies.  Sweet!
