2010 Spring Milan Fashion Week Fab Roundup!
Even under a scrunched time line, Milan Fashion Week stunned with numerous beautiful collections. In this roundup, I highlight some of my favorite designers, including Versace, Ferragamo, Fendi, and Armani, to name a few. I admit, Dolce & Gabbana's collection was my favorite, but that's not stopping me from showing you Bottega's soft and swirly frock, Gucci's cut-out wonder, and Emilio Pucci's magical prints.

Whose Bride Wars Style Is Most Fab?
I like this little fashion trick Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson are playing on us. On the European red carpet for Bride Wars, Anne wore a light hued Gianfranco Ferre dress, while Kate wore a dark Louis Vuitton one. Then in the garden photo shoot, Kate wore a light outfit, while Anne went dark.
Golden Globe Awards: Hayden Panettiere
Hayden Panettiere opted for a grape Gianfranco Ferre beaded column gown tonight. The jeweled bodice is what takes it from normal to special. She finished it off with small diamond drop earrings, a diamond ring, and a metallic clutch.
Fab Ad: Gianfranco Ferre Fall '09
I've got a serious soft spot for beautiful people — ahem, Julia Stegner, Malgosia and Javier de Miguel — lounging around in gorgeous clothes surrounded by moody shadows. Remember Valentino's Robert Palmer-esque Fall ads? Loved 'em.
Trend Alert: Silk Utilitarian
Silk has a new look; it's more relaxed but hardened with tough details. This new silk utilitarian twist is more wearable and comfortable. Silk tops, jumpers, pants, and accessories have been updated with drawstrings, zippers and cargo pockets to lend a simultaneously chic and casual look.

Fab Flash: Fashion Designer Gianfranco Ferré Dies
I'm sorry to report that designer Gianfranco Ferré, 62, the "architect of fashion," died Sunday night in Milan after being hospitalized for a brain hemorrhage. He was noted for being one of the designers who generated the boom in Italian fashion from the eighties into the nineties. Ferré's architectural silhouettes were favored by the likes of Sharon Stone, Elizabeth Taylor, Oprah, Sophia Loren, and Princess Diana.
