Spring 2012 Milan Fashion Week

>> Yesterday's heavy-hitting show schedule made for a full day of fun backstage at Milan Fashion Week. Not only was there plenty of pin-up girl posturing at Dolce & Gabbana — in bejeweled maillots, no less — but also lots of madcap twirling in tomato-printed skirts and aubergine-patterned dresses. At Ferragamo, models pranced in flowing gowns fit for a night in the tropics; at Missoni, oversized fans provided the perfect coy accessory. But the most delicious thing spotted backstage? Earrings made from pasta at Dolce & Gabbana. Get a peek at all this and more, here in the slideshow.

Salvatore Ferragamo: Spring 2012

Silky, sexy, and totally lush: Salvatore Ferragamo's Spring 2012 collection was filled with opulent print, sexy scarf dresses, and bold colors that made for one seriously glamorous offering. Satin jumpsuits and suits, and handkerchief hem dresses are designed for the jetsetting girl who might find herself on a (five-star, of course) safari one minute, an exotic tropical vacation the next. What made the collection so eyecatching, aside from the prints, were the mix of in-your-face colors — think rust with fuchsia, cobalt, and purples all mixed together.

  • Trends: tropical, tribal, 70s glamour, jumpsuits.
  • Colors: cobalt, purple, fuchsia, orange.
  • Key Look: the scarf-print dresses, tied in the most sexy ways.
  • Who Would Wear It: exotic, fun-loving glamour girls — think Jennifer Lopez for everyday, and Angelina Jolie might wear the gowns on the red carpet.

Fall Footwear Trend: Cap-Toe Pumps

Chic ladylike dressing is in full tilt for Fall, so it's only fitting to complement these looks with equally femme footwear.

Chic ladylike dressing is in full tilt for Fall, so it's only fitting to complement these looks with equally femme footwear. That's where cap-toe pumps come into play: we love how the vintage-inspired embellishment adds instant polish to any look. Not only have they been spotted on the runways — Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, and Salvatore Ferragamo to name a few — but celebrities like Mila Kunis have been sporting the trend as well. We love how she jazzed up her classic LBD with a cobalt blue capped-toe rendition from Christian Louboutin. Want to inject that same polished look into your cool weather wardrobe? Shop our picks below and get ready to dress to impress.
