Milan Fashion Week Day 4

Day four so far ... 

The first show to wow me today was from Roberto Cavalli.

Now I'm not normally a huge Roberto Cavalli fan but I just love this collection, the fluidity of the lines over the curves of the body, shown on the trousers and the dress, both in the middle of the above picture. The almost intricate Aztec prints and digital prints. It reminds me of some clover canyon dresses inspired by the Great Gatsby. The fur adds a more decadent feel to the overall rather edgy collection. Not too blingy which is nice, but just enough detail on the elegant almost 1920's inspired gown (first in above picture). Yes, another cape I'm afraid but how nice is this grey and black print one. Its nice to see a more casual cape compared to the more elaborate and evening wear ones that we have seen previously.

A nice well developed collection, I may have just been converted to a Cavalli girl . . .

We shall see.

Update, just seen the Antonio Marras show, there's a she wolf in the closet, open up and set her free. Shakira's words not mine, but apt I think this collection definitely had elements of the wild about it. See for yourself . . .

 I love the detailing in this collection, forest and wild flowers themes embroidered into a number of garments. Fur added as collars, hoods, lets us show our inner animal, especially when used in a hood. I love the different panels used in the second dress and the mix of earthy colours and tones in the remainder of the collection. Again lace crops up. this is going to be my favourite Autumn / Winter yet, velvet and lace I shall be in my element.

Emilio Pucci, what a show, one of the hottest tickets of Milan Fashion Week and no wonder!
Like the wild theme seen in Antonio Marras collection above, Pucci have named this collection called 'Call of the Wild'!

This collection seemed to embody all that we associate with Pucci, heavily embroidered mini dresses, beaded almost sheer jersey, Pucci house print in gold was a predominant feature, second skin leather trousers, with side stitched to match the boots. Huge dense furs were an obvious statement in this collection in different tones and colours. Tailored cut items were juxtaposed by oversized outerwear items, for example the stunning Navajo knits. Not as revealing as Pucci collections usually go but a stunning mix of laid back glamour and a dash of sex appeal.

What did you think of today's shows so far?
