Colours of Milan| Spring 2012

Melbourne sure was gloomy today! Rain, wind, thunder and lightning, we had it all!

If you, like me, walked out of the house dressed like you thought it was going to be a mild Spring day, and ended up sprinting in the rain in tights and flats and a summer dress then hooray! I hope you had as much fun as I had :) no I'm not being sarcastic, it was surprisingly refreshing to run in the rain in non-running shoes! (not very sensible though, I admit)

Anyway, as you know, Milan Fashion Week has been stirring up a fashion storm up in the northern hemisphere and I've been working on several posts on my favourite collections. Since this is the 50th post for this blog, I've decided to merge it all into one mega post - a special Kaleidoscope of colourful Fashion. Hope you like it and feel free to share your thoughts on the shows, fashion week, the weather or anything fashion below!

modern tailoring| Jil Sander Spring 2012

 

 

From futuristic shapes to 1950s tailoring, Raf Simons latest collection have all the critics raving. But that's not all that's buzzing in Milan right now: rumours are circling around  the fashion world that Raf Simons is to replace Stefano Pilati as the new head of Yves Saint Laurent. This was news so big that even Business of Fashion, an online publication that tends to shy away from "breaking news", felt the need to report it.

Back to this collection described as "the last in my couture trilogy" by the designer himself. White seeming to dominate again, with last season's big maxi skirts carried over in the form of floor length dresses. Prints were Paisley, checkered and Picasso-inspired and the colours: bottle green, sky blue and even a spot of hot pink. Overall, an amazing collection for its simplicity and elegance.
