Antonio Marras Catwalk Fashion Show Milan Womenswear SS2014

At Antonio Marras we arrived in a fairy tale like setting today. Beautiful girls with light make-up and strangely twisted hair appeared one by one wearing the most romantic creations. A variation of printed dresses in pastel shades with extras like ruffles and large ribbons. Prints were nature inspired, depicting peaceful settings with roses and butterflies. More dreamy designs followed in shiny silk, with lace detailing and swags. Horizontally layered skirts had all sorts of fabrics combined from lace to transparent and printed pieces. But it wasn’t all sweetness sent out on the runway. Some tough designs popped up as well. Like coats with cute leather collars, like cool knitted jumpers paired with over the knee skirts, like a few crop tops and a structured bomber jacket that stood out in particular. Leather pieces got a metallic treatment and toward the end prints turned from nature to fantasy. A dramatic finale of loud violin music, maxi dresses and models wearing head pieces decorated with green leaves and butterflies seemed an appropriate ending of this ss2014 presentation.

Blumarine Catwalk Fashion Show Milan Womenswear SS2014

Lots to love for the Blumarine girl next summer. Like always she will look feminine and playful, but in 2014 she will be extra seductive too. Anna Molinari put a lot viagra cheap of focus on the chest, or breasts as you will. She created strapless parts inside her sheer dresses and sent out a lot of fully transparent designs with small embroidered flowers all over. So a lot of boobs and cleavage was on display, giving the models an extra daring look. In the case of a floor sweeping sheer dress with metallic embroidered beads it even appeared as if the model was wearing nothing underneath at all. Quite raunchy indeed, but we have a feeling the Blumarine girl might be into it. Just as she will embrace the animal prints, the silk pencil skirts, the leather pants, the tuxedo jackets and even that sheer yellow (over the) top with the fur lining. Let’s hope for a lot of hot summer cocktail get togethers, so she can make acte de presence in one of these statement party looks.

As the designer told reporters backstage: “There is a necessity to be strong, visible, fighters, and this is an encouragement to be out there and to do something. If they see you, they listen.”
The Prada-space was transformed by huge murals (inspired by Diego Rivera and other Mexican muralists) of women’s portraits from six contemporary artists.
The portraiture provided the primary leitmotif — big, bold, colorful faces on dresses, coats and skirts. They came printed, jeweled and in fur, merged with high-gloss, demonstrative embroideries, color-blocking and intricate cuts.

Sports references continued the message of strength; the girls wore striped legwarmers and, sometimes, Prada’s take on Tevas.
