Gucci | Glamitalian

Milan Fashion Week has ended a couple of days ago, and it’s just the right time to spend some words on how amazing were the designs we have seen on the runways. On top of my list I would put D&G’s collection, at least for these gorgeous colorful dresses, beautifully shaped out of a foulard and very inspired by the classic Hermès prints.

Fendi was able to come up with a really stylish, glamorous, and unique collection designed by Karl Lagerfield. Most of all, I love the haircut ! So so cool! I have decided I must try it out…

Very imaginative is Moschino‘s spanish inspired collection, based on a total black color scheme, with gold and white accents, and a lot of embroideries and accessories. The black skinny trowsers and the gold sandals paired with it will definitely be a must have.

Love it or leave it, studs are the distinctive sign of Versace‘s 2012 Spring Summer collection.

Giorgio Armani‘s designs are as usual the most sophisticated one can imagine, with a neutral, pastel based colour palette. The cut of this dress is so perfect that it could just be a sculpture . By the way, I am glad to see that one shoulder tops will still be on fashion next summer. I really love this cut.

Just Cavalli‘s inspiration remains linked to animal prints, fringes , and the wild west. The general look of his collection, no surprise being Cavalli’s, is intended to be very sexy.

On the opposite side, there is the classic, minimal, and monochrome collection by Max Mara.

For next season Gucci suggests a seductive trend, with a lot of glitter and gold, very “Charleston”. These are my favourite outfit by Gucci’ Spring Summer 2012.

So, here are my picks from Milan. How about you, is your wish list ready? xxx

I am pretty sure that the guy who stole my bag on Sunday while I was enjoying the most relaxing day ever, is now having a good time with a)my money b)my mobile phone 3)my digital camera. And, of course, he has probably offered his girlfriend my beautiful, essential, little Prada bag AND Prada wallet, very precious to me as it contained many bits and pieces of my life, like loved passport sizes pictures, my very private notes, various little lucky charms that I normally like to bring along , and so on.

I don’t own all this any more, it’s really bad, and I have been furious for a while, but, hey, I am trying to get over it now, what else to do?

So, when it comes to bags, I have one believe, which is: Prada comes first, Gucci second, and everyone else follows from a distance. I know, it must be because I am italian!

I have heard a theory according to which your bag should be proportioned to your hight, as in a ‘petite’ looks better with a small bag like a clutch, while tall ladies should prefer larger bags like totes. Well, it makes sense to me, but only if you are really petite or, the other way round, very, very tall. For everything else in between I don’t think there is a rule, really….

As for me, generally I like to wear larger bags during the summer, and smaller bags during the winter, when there are already so many layers on me, so to balance the total look.

Printed bags are really in fashion now, as you can tell by this selection of bags that I would just buy, right on the spot.
