Milan Fashion Week | Fall Winter 2011 »Part II«

Milan continues with a lots of Collections...

Paris Fashion Week is on the way and soon my reviews will be posted here!!

This week will be crazy... with the end of Paris Fashion Week, and the start of Lisbon Fashion Week (ModaLisboa), the one i'll be presenting alive here on the RFSPblog! Wait to see it...!

So, I hope you like my choices!

Just tell me what's your favourite collections from Milan...

Jil Sander
Jil Sander, last season show us a new and revolutionary silhouette. Lots of color and magic bags! This season the silhouette stays but the colors have changed... A little bit more dark but amazingly combined. The flower patterns are beautifully well done and the bags are structured and a bit colored. I love the simple dresses, the grey and the yellow one's are just beautifull.

Moschino
This collection is funny and glamourous. The glasses, the earings and the suits... Everything is made to shine! But my favourite piece of the entire collection is the simple black dress (shown under at the right!) Simple but magnificent!!

Prada
This is pure sugar! This is one of the best collections for this season, Prada surprise us one more time. Every single look is gorgeous, the colors and the materials are just brilliant. I love the bags and the shoes... And my favourite looks are the first one in white (shown above at the left), and the more plastic (the second one, shown under at the right). This collection, certainly puts fashion in another level!

Versace
Strong colors, a strong silhouette, fur and leather... Everything is mixed to combine in one word: Versace. Just love the dresses (shown under) in black and white whith fur, prepared to look amazingly and show some great legs!! Love it!

Salvatore Ferragamo
Ferragamo is now in black/white! Glamourous looks for a strong woman with the right attitude. Dresses, suits, black leather trench coats and amazing shoes...! Each look show us a powerfull woman with a perfect grey suit, or just a simple sexy dress. I just love the look made of a shinny dress with a coat, used as a cape.

Emilio Pucci
Extremely hot, sexy and powerfull. Sexy womans in amazing dresses, saying pucci all over it! Just love Ana Selezneva, Alessandra Ambrosio, Izabel Goulart, Isabeli Fontana, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Natasha Poly and Anja Rubik in this looks!! The make-up and the hair-style are also amazing!
Just love the sex-appeal of this collection...!

Dolce & Gabbana
Music and stars are the inspirational effects that puts the Dolce&Gabbanna collection on the hit-list of Milan. Androgynous looks, making womans more masculines... But also sexy and feminine dresses. The 'Miss Sicily' bags are now more beautifull and shiny... Thats your opportunity to shine...

Roberto Cavalli
Cavalli is now more wild and beautifull. Strong looks, whith a lot of attitude, this womens are... fabulous! This is powerfull. I love the shoes, the dresses, the coats, scarfs and also bags! Be strong... be Cavalli!

Milan Fashion Week | Fall Winter 2011 »Part I«

Milan is over... So, now its time to review and think in soo many information for just a few days!!

In this post we have some of the many shows presenting there! It will continue in »Part II«, but now enjoy this information and the things that i like in some of this shows!

Hope you like it!


Fendi
Fendi, like past season, come to me like a beautiful dream, with so many colors and new silhouettes. Love the bags, the headbands and the 'somethind-bigger-than-a-papillon'!! (i don't know the specific name of that!, btw) :)

The collection is very beautiful, the colors, textiles including the fur on the coats and the simple bags... that i like pretty much! Love the mix of colors in some outfits, like the blue skirt with orange pantyhose, and the brown skirt with the yellow pantyhose and a blue shirt...

Alberta Ferreti
Alberta Ferreti, have always a romantic taste! Sparkling dresses, transparencys, and color-blocking! Everything made this collection a success. The blues are the high of this collection in coats and dresses... I also love the coats with many colors... mixing blue, orange, purple, red and pink!!

Bottega Veneta
Bottega Veneta, this season brings a lot of color, the continuation of many collections from past season, for the Summer2011! Now we have different looks in orange, pink, yellow and also gold! The characteristic bags from Bottega Veneta are now vivide and alive, i love the 'Knot' cluth, and i think that every 'classy' woman should have one!!!

Gucci
Gucci repeats the facts from last season, with color-blocking, and silhouettes from the 70's. Fur, fur and lots of fur! Soo many colors in hats, jackets, shirts and cardigans. Also the few dresses at the end of the show with a lot of transparency and flowers, mixing bright colors with black, were stunning! Gucci is Gucci and also the bags are gorgeous...!
The key to a fantastic style? Just bring to Winter a bit of Summer, with so much colours like Frida Giannini did in this show...!

Max Mara
Max Mara, brings a pure collection in soft colors. White and grey are the key of this collection, but also black leather and camel invades this runway! The bag in the image, is just perfect! The union of the zippers are so beautiful and the grey leather, perfection!

The sunglasses and the shoes are also perfect items to add to the 'wish-list'!! Don't you think?

London Fashion Week | Fall Winter 2011 »Part II«

This is London Fashion Week, part II!

Paris Fashion Week, starts this week and we are going crazy with so many information to digest! But show after show, our love for fashion gets bigger! So... doesn't matter.

Milan is on the way but we don't forget the London brands and designers!
Here is the last post for the London Fashion Week, Winter 2011 season. New collections and new ideas are on the table, let's digest it in the most glory's way... =D

Enjoy it!

Paul Smith
Paul Smith have always a great show! Like for the past season, he decides to explore the masculine style and attitude at the feminine body! For me, it results perfectly! The tuxedo's, jeans, cardigans with white shirts and with an apropried tie and also the hair is extremely well done! I love this looks. The glasses and the bags are amazing! I want this brown leather bag! It have, absolutly, my name on it!!!

Mulberry
Mulberry, knowned by a particulary type of bags, show us some clothes with embroydered flowers, great shoes and as expected, stunning bags! The classic bag is now reinterpretated in a new way, one in green with a shoulder strap and the other in camel with silver details!

Marios Schwab
Marios Schwab, surprises me soo much! The details of this collection are absolutly amazing. I love the little pearl details in the dresses... Designing the womens body... Delicious! The color like orange and blues gives to this collection the glamour that it deserves.

Acne
Acne is modern, young and atractive! I love the new shapes of the shoes! The skirts, trousers and specific pieces in amazign fabrics! I just love the details of the transparency's outside the jeans! The effect is pretty good and with those shoes that are amazing, the look is complete!

Holly Fulton
Holly Fulton is always interactive and brings her collection in a funny way! Details like, the sky-line of a city, lips, and vivide colors like yellow, red and blue all of them mixed with black and white. I love the Louboutin shoes, and the earings with black lips! So funny! Also the Blue/black/white dress with the sky-line and rivers (i think!) are extremelly gorgeous!

David Koma
David Koma, shows her black dresses with circles effects! The dresses have faces with unusual colors, fur in funny places... The shoes for me are amazing! I love the entire platform, and also the heel in an extremely unusual beauty!

London Fashion Week | Fall Winter 2011 »Part I«

I know, i know... I'm late!
But its better later than never! Right? =D

So, London Fashion Week, always give us a different taste of the others fashion weeks! Here the things are different and very british! Relaxed and sophisticated...

Now I show you some of the best shows from this Fashion Week, and as soon as possible I'll show you the second part of this post! Ok?

I hope you like it!


Burberry Prorsum
For me is (almost!) always the high of the top, of the London Fashion Week! This collection is very collorfull at the beggining, whith structured jackets, as another magnificent reinterpretation of the 'trench' by Christopher Bailey! But, for me, the top of this collection are the black/white jackets in cotton at the end of the show! This lightweight wool silk trench coats, with fabulous detailing, including the wood silk with cable knit finishing and lace-ups in black leather. I love them...

Aquascutum
Aquascutum in terms of collor pallete are magnific! I love the blues mixed with orange and camel... The coats are very nice and i love the fur details on the gloves! The styling are very good, and it feels soo warm and confortable that i just want to embrace some looks! xD.

Mary Katrantzou
Mary Katrantzou with her glorious patterns, gave me again a huge smile! I love the patterns and the silhouette, but i think that this is more of the same, of the past collections! I love her designs and her work, and the Louboutin boots are fabulous with the outfits!

Christopher Kane
Christopher Kane, came with a great collection. For me "the extraordinary plastic trims that arrived to infect severe black shift dresses", (like said Tim Blanks) were the funny part, of the collection (and that's the part that we discover that Kane is a pure genius!). And where the idea came from? The collection's starting point was a simple challenge: "Let's find a textile that's never been used." Said Kane.

Pringle of Scotlan
Pringle of Scotland's collection is a mix of patterns, colors, fur, leather and soft detailings in each piece! The fur sleeves and also the boots are simple details that i love. The orange trousers came from the past season but are in the perfect mood for this Fall! Love it!

New York Fashion Week | Fall Winter 2011 »Part II«

The continuation of the 'best' from New York Fashion Week!

A selection of my favourites shows are here... Including Phillip Lim, Proenza Schouler and Rodarte!!

I hope you like it!


Michael Kors
Michael Kors celebrate's this year, 30 years in the Fashion Business!!! Congratulations...! =D
And for celebrate, this collection came in a perfect timing!
As always, simple cuts, long dresses, fur and transparency... Camel, black and red are the colors for this Kors season! I like Kors, and his show at New York is always a pleasure to see!

3.1 Phillip Lim
3.1 Phillip Lim, was a shocking surprise! In a good way...! The accessories, are just perfects! I love the coats, and their collar's. I love the colors, the materials... but the green in some pants and skirts were just a fabulous detail! I loove it...

Proenza Schouler
Proenza Schouler was soo great! I love the first looks, so simple but colorfull. The coats are awesome and the mix of prints in the most part of the looks are just the perfect way to Jack and Lazaro express their love for Fashion, designing their own prints! I think they'r perfect...

Rodarte
Rodarte is a peace of heaven... The inspiration (the movie 'Days of Heaven' by Terrence Malick) and the result of that is extremely well done! The dresses with the sky and the wheat field are so inspiring! The colors, the cut of each piece the embroydery or the polka dots! Everything is soo romantic and just like candys for the eyes! Je t'aime! :)

Victoria Beckam
I think that Victoria Beckam is a case of extremely good taste. Dot! The collection is a bit colorfull but also with a taste of earth-tones. I love the bags, the accessories, the dresses, shoes... everything. Everytime i see a new collection of her, i have always a bigger surprise! Just loving her work.


Rachel Zoe
Rachel Zoe. Pregnant and Fashion Designer! =D Ok. No kidding! Ahahah
This collection don't have a Fashion Show! Yet. But, I think is extremely wearable, as expected, but the opposite of Rachel Zoe style. Don't you think? She said it, and now we prove it! Elegant, Chic and Modern... this is the 'Rachel Zoe' woman!
