Best of 2008: Fabulous Fashion Week Shows
2008 spawned a tremendous flurry of fabulous Fashion Week shows. Let's see, there were New York Fall and Spring shows, Milan Fashion Week, Paris Fashion Week, London Fashion Week, and LA Fashion Week. Oh, and don't forget all of the ravishing Resort and Pre-Fall collections.
Milan Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Versace
While some criticized Frida Giannini's Gucci collection for being overly commercial, and lacking innovation, Versace managed to deliver both wearable and wowable Spring designs. Short, belted dresses are simply adorable, while powerful folds and curvature proved to work for the drama-loving vixen as well. Her palate was subdued — white, powder blue, camel, yellow, black and a gorgeous steel purple.
Milan Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Steamy Milan
If London is know for its quirk then Milan is known for its steam. While some designers also specialize in tailoring (Armani, Dolce & Gabbana) and eclecticism (Marni, Prada), sex appeal oozes off almost every Milan runway. Let's just say it's in the Italian blood; even when they aren't trying to be sexy, they produce some titillating looks.
Milan Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Dolce & Gabbana
Whatever the Dolce & Gabbana boys are doing, they should keep on doing, because they're setting the runways on fire. Maybe it's the dramatic clothes against the sleek black background, but the house's Spring collection commands attention. It's part sexy, part girlie, some forward, and all innovative.

Milan Fashion Week, Spring '09: Roberto Cavalli
Cavalli's moody prairie Fall collection didn't float my boat, but his flavorful Spring collection sure does. I know designers feel the pressure to switch things up, but when your forte is mad prints and dramatic cuts, your fans tend to lean on you for such splendor. Cavalli delivered the goods, while showing some new angles.From frilly cocktail dresses to daring black gowns, Cavalli brings the heat.
Milan Fashion Week Spring '09: Alberta Ferretti
Fringe here, fringe there, fringe fringe everywhere. That's the gist of Alberta Ferretti's Spring collection. The designer proves that you need not be a flapper girl of yesteryear to pull it off.
Milan Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Gucci
Not that she ever lost it, but Frida got her groove back. It's taken the designer a few seasons to really make a splash at the house of Gucci, and splashy this Spring collection is. With attendees like Rihanna and Rachel Zoe, I'm sure the aquarium colors and provocative shapes impressed.
Milan Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Missoni
Every season I say, "This is the season I will buy something Missoni." So I'm sayin' it again. Missoni fused earth-loving colors like grass green, yellow, camel, and burnt sienna, and sometimes black, with crisp separates and flowing dresses.
Milan Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Domenico and Stefano Heart Katy Perry
Katy Perry is just cute as a button. Or, should I say, as a bottone? The men of Dolce & Gabbana not only had Katy sit front and center at their D&G Spring '09 runway show, but later, she wore a nautical sequined frock from the collection while performing at a D&G shindig.
