Gucci Catwalk Fashion Show Milan FW2011/2012

Gucci held on to the bright colors for winter, yet this time the shades were a little bit warmer (ranging from blue and rust to burgundy and petrol green) and Frida Giannini added some grey and black.

The show had a great seventies vibe. Flared pants, flared coats and long, loose dresses. Of course Frida added her own special Gucci Glamour showing high slits, pencil skirts made of snakeskin and patent leather.

Though some items would look wrong on a hanger; the styling of the show made it all still sophisticated. The colorful hats, small belts and the fur stoles were some nice details. The large sunglasses and eye catching flowers at the end might have been a little over the top. But hey, Gucci girls usually love that.

Burberry Catwalk Fashion Show Londen FW2011/2012

If you’re looking for a nice dress or sweater for next winter, it’s not sure you’ll find it at Burberry. The new collection was full of coats (and handbags), from the beginning till the end.

The first ones came in strong colors with black details. Then several ones with Tartan print appeared and in the end even some coats with cow print were shown.

The silhouettes of the coats were alternated constantly; ranging from slim en lean to wide and short.

Most seemed very comfy and warm, especially the fur ones with enormous collars and cuffs.

Never in a million years would we wear the fur cow hats, but at least Christopher Bailey had fun with it.

Like at his menswear show Bailey came up with a finale of models wearing rain capes. Yet instead of rain, fake snow came down from the ceiling.

Diane von Furstenberg Catwalk Fashion Show New York FW2011/2012

If you have a favorite color Diane von Furstenberg suggests you to wear a complete outfit in that shade. The 64-year old designer sent several full color outfits down the runway, with all items (even the boots, bags and bangles) in a different shade of the chosen color (green, red or blue).

She alternated those color(blocking) designs with eye catching graphic prints, which could be found on skirts, jumpsuits and dresses with low V-necks.

The collection, called American Legends, seemed Western inspired, judging from the brimmed hats, puffy sleeves, fringed boots and gauchos. Yet Diane’s Western Woman was glammed up a bit by metallic details (golden belts resembling the ones of Gucci’s spring/summer 2011 collection) , see through nettings, fur items and graphic cut-outs. (Especially the last three sequined evening gowns were full on glamour looks!)

If you dress by the code Less is More this DvF collection probably isn’t your cup of tea. But since there were a lot of different trends to choose from almost any woman should be able to find at least something she likes. (We have high hopes for the skirts and blouses!)



Hunkemöller Catwalk Fashion Show Amsterdam

On the last evening of the Amsterdam International Fashion Week lingerielabel Hunkemöller held a show named ‘It’s a women’s world and we love it’ in the Zuiveringshal at the Westergasterrein. For it’s brand new collection Hunkemöller was inspired by Hollywoodstars of the thirties and forties, like Marlene Dietrich, Josephine Baker.

Models with daring pink wigs (which had been cut and steamed for hours backstage) walked the runway in the most diverse lingerie looks.

We saw bras, strings and high waisted knickers in nudes, orange, green, purple, petrol, deep blue and black. Combined with lace, strass-details, bows, feathers and garters they made up for a very feminine and sexy look.

The collection was divided into four separate themes; Hollywood Glamour, Hot Cognac, Excentric Luxury and Mysterious Black, each with it’s own inspiration, colors and style. All looks were finished off by eye catching jewelry and accessories.

During the grande finale a model (the contemporary muse of Hunkemoller) wearing a brown slip dress, a shoulder- and an enormous head piece appeared on the runway. She stood on top of some stairs as all models walked their final round on the catwalk.

A great show. Adele’s Rolling in the Deep is still in our heads…
