Versace Catwalk Fashion Show Milan SS2013

If you’re the outdoor party type of gal Versace is your way to go as soon as the festival season starts. For upcoming spring Donatella stepped away from her princess-y creations and went for a more careless approach. Models looked less perfect (and more fun) in her crinkled, slightly looser designs, which apparently got a ‘Tailoring with a lingerie edge’ touch.

Though thought was put into every detail models appeared more relaxed, in some kind of off duty mode. Just toss a boyfriend jacket on top of that nude shaded pastel bikini. Never mind if that shirt isn’t properly tucked in. And did one boob just pop out of that tiny slip dress? Oh well… why bother!

Tie dye prints, fringes and cross body shoulder bags completed Versace’s boho festival feeling. But don’t think Donatella let it all just hang loose. No chance she would be sending her runway strutters out without a flawless make-up, seductive long locks and high buckled up boots. Donatella maybe stepped out of her comfort zone, her finale of airy, high slit evening dresses was as glamorous as always.

Blumarine Catwalk Fashion Show Milan SS2013

After last season’s over the top bright colored metallic looks Anna Molinari took a few steps back with her upcoming spring collection. Yes, her girls still looked sexy. Yet this time it was much more subtle as clothes looked gorgeous enough to stand out without trying too hard.

Off shoulders tops, low V-necks, peek a boo sweaters, sheer dresses and cut-out jackets; there was quite a lot of skin at sight, but Molinari kept it modest. Sweet princess like shades followed each other in the ‘fairytale dream’ Blumarine created just for today.

Lace details, colored sequins and beaded fringes added some extra (as if there was not yet enough) girly-ness.

From Blumarine’s chunky sweaters to her silky pants and sporty parka’s; every piece in the collection got a touch of glamour. The kind of glamour that will have Molinari’s loyal fans running to the stores in February. ‘Cause it may be a less in your face collection; Blumarine’s customers will still love every bit of it.

 

 

 

Sportmax Catwalk Fashion Show Milan SS2013

The ss2013 collection of Sportmax had an icy, modernist gloss . The main reference seemed contemporary architecture, and it was made visible  in clean lines, controlled volumes and a flash of hardware.

The show opened with boxy leather bombers and lean, sleeveless coats with zippers, colors were gleaming white or  green. Grid patterns, like windows on a skyscraper, were embroidered onto organza shift dresses, which were chic and managed to avoid the Space Age vibe. There were also split-hem skirts, sporty ribbed knits some of which coated in stripes and easy to wear shift dresses.
Simple and minimalistic were the slouchy trousers narrowed by zippers and the chunky knits and sweatshirts with bold, colorful stripes. Modern were the  leather pieces at the end of the show in laser-cut houndstooth motifs. It gave a cool, graphic effect.

Just Cavalli Catwalk Fashion Show Milan SS2013

Roberto Cavalli took the sea as inspiration for the spring collection of Just Cavalli. The show opened with a white biker with “pearl”-studded sleeves. Short dresses were covered in sequins that looked like mermaid’s skin. And the handkerchief hems of chiffon slipdresses trailed like underwater plants.

The collection was ultimately classic Cavalli: the  jungle prints, the jaguar spots, the digital bougainvillea. Also the python, the slither of lace under the jacket, the blue majolica pattern duplicated in everything from tees to leggings, the distressed denim, and those sexy slipdresses.

Etro Catwalk Fashion Show Milan SS2013

Today Etro started with a same Eastern inspired vibe Miuccia Prada had ended her show with yesterday. At Etro too we spotted kimono like designs, antisymmetric dresses, wide sleeves, attention grabbing belts and Japanese floral prints. No Geisha shoes (and socks!) here, but everything else with a Eastern feeling was part of the Etro spring/summer 2013 story.

The show maybe started off light; pretty soon designs turned colorful and exotic covered in cheerful Eastern flowers. And Etro’s signature paisley print maybe disappeared a bit to the background, we were presented with these gorgeous floral prints in return.

There were not so many every day wear looks and it might take a while before we hit the office judoka style. Yet every single one of the models at Etro looked glamorous and stunning. Combined with a slick hairstyle, eye-catching earrings and large clutches the designs made up for some gorgeous geisha’s everyone will want to be in 2013, at least for one night.

Regarding the round helmets, short A-line shifts and military buttons, Moschino went for Sixties Pop.  It started with graphic black-and-white worked in bold contrast on piped dresses and suits, cropped jackets, mini skirts and a little tank jumper.
There were jail-stripes and then, once color moved in with orange and blue, cabana stripes. The house’s signature hearts and flowers were also present.

Prada Catwalk Fashion Show Milan SS2013

Toughness and the poetic part. That was where Prada’s collection for ss2013 was all about. To WWD she explained that she wanted to mix these two together, ‘because this is mainly what wiomen have to deal with in reality. The clothes are the expression of this impossible dream’.

The clothes were neither overtly romantic nor wistful, the shapes almost severe.  The first look was a short black dress emblazoned with an off-center panel decorated with two white long  flowers.  Then followed a parade of similarly crafted suits, dresses, jackets over knee shorts, their printed and appliquéd flowers providing a sweet touch to the severe shapes. You could see references to traditional Japanese kimonos, hakamas and footwear, as well as hints of lingerie. There was also some color: dark green, navy, splashes of red, and pastels.

 

Emporio Armani Catwalk Fashion Show SS2013 Milan

For anything light, classy and feminine Giorgio Armani is your go to guy next year. The designer’s spring/summer looks breathed one hundred percent sophistication and softness to the max. Dressed in shades ranging from nude and natural and pastel models looked innocent and ladylike at the same time. Besides a touch of metallic gave the collection a welcome edge. Materials layered on top of each other gave the looks a nice and rich feeling, while the loose fit of the designs added a bit of effortlessness. Some tops and skirts maybe resembled pieces of origami; folded asymmetrical creations never looked this cool. A basket-like braided pastel shaded jacket worn with a graphical printed pair of silky shorts made up for the ultimate show stopping look of this spring collection. It beautifully illustrated mixing unexpected materials and light shades can look surprisingly fresh and natural. We like!
