Milan Fashion Week, Fall 2010: D&G's Alpine Sizzle
The Winter Olympics ends on Sunday, and I, for one, will miss it. But D&G has brightened my mood with its Alpine-tastic Fall collection. Sure there's loads of Nordic prints, but it's not a complete cozy fest: sheer moody florals, incognito lace and silk dresses, tufts of fur, and velvet separates inject mountain mystic. Glittery ski goggles and stompy fur boots have DIY written all over them . . . here are my top 10 looks.

Raf Simons Digs Up '90s Plaids, Sets to Sci Fi Soundtrack for Jil Sander Fall 2010
>> The sounds of bombs dropping, bullets whizzing, and quotes from Lara Croft: Tomb Raider ("You don't think I'd go vaulting into thin air for nothing, do you?") punctuated the sci fi sountrack at Jil Sander today, with models criss-crossing the X-shaped runway in knit rompers and sharply tailored jumpsuits. Every single one tromped around in black mid-calf flat boots, while sheer panels stretched down from their tweedy jackets and short slashes revealed themselves in an otherwise buttoned-up collection.
Raf Simons seems to have joined Marc Jacobs and Miuccia Prada in going archival this season — he pulled out the plaids that Jil Sander first used during the early '90s. Another change for the designer: casting models of color — Joan Smalls, Rose Cordero, Sun Feifei, and Mengyao Ming Xi all populated the runway today. Brazilian sensation Alicia Kuczman, meanwhile, scored the exclusive.
