On Our Radar: Dsquared's Cameo Appearance

Dsquared designers Dan and Dean Caten are quite the pop star fans. They had Rihanna walk their runway last week, and now they're making a cameo appearance in the video for Fergie's new single "Clumsy," which is set to drop this month. The twin duo is shown styling Fergie for a fake modeling shoot, and then accompanying her down a Dsquared runway. True to the single's name, Fergie is less Read more

Milan Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Versace

Donatella has struck again! But this time, with a softer force. While the runway oozed with the usual Versace sex appeal, things were a bit more buttoned up, a bit softer, a bit safe. With a slight safari vibe, daytime separates were very wearable with pocketed shorts, trousers and outerwear. Fabrics of choice were silk and slick leather — again, sexy. While bold and sometimes baby solids Read more

Milan Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Dolce & Gabbana

A common theme that I'm finding with Milan Fashion Week is that designers, like Roberto Cavalli, are expanding their horizons and delving into new territories. Such is the case for Dolce & Gabbana's Spring collection. Dolce ads are vulgar and highly sexual, so it was surprising to see that their latest collection is filled with modest, almost matronly pieces. There are a bevy of full Read more

Milan Fashion Week Spring 2008, Marni: Love It or Hate It?

Regardless to what the reviews say, I always have a special place in my heart for Marni. But yes, when surveying this eclectic look, I can be objective. The stiff white top is a little boxy for my taste, but the frilly navy undercarriage is quite pretty and unexpected. The jury's still out on those black satin clodhoppers...do you have a verdict? To post your selections go to the Love It or Read more

Milan Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Alberta Ferretti

The Grecian goddess was alive and well at Alberta Ferretti: toga-inspired minidresses, flowing fabrics, and draped necklines were all present. Always a master with chiffon, Ferretti did not disappoint with this collection; a Greco-Roman theme plays perfectly to her strengths. Neutral colors inspired by ancient architectural structures dominated the palette, interspersed with vivid pops of Read more

Milan Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Gucci

Grease was the word at Gucci. Or at least, that's where my imagination went. A bold collection that's a bit 80s, a bit 50s - this is what Rizzo would be wearing if she were real life today. From the leather jackets to the origami pleating on cropped jackets, tops, and skirts, Frida Giannini meshed the classic with the new very well. The prints were fantastic; just when I thought I'd seen every Read more

Milan Fashion Week Spring 2008, Etro: Love It or Hate It?

Preppy on top, party down under: that's the way this outfit rolled on the Etro runway. There's a lot going on here, between the leopard-cuffed blazer, striped button-down, big leather belt, and crazy-colored miniskirt. It's surely a study on eclecticism, that we can all take notes on. Pencils ready? Did you all recognize Agyness with her brunette color du jour?! To post your selections go to Read more

Milan Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Roberto Cavalli

A few feather-clad pieces in this Spring collection were very Roberto Cavalli, but surprisingly, the majority were not. I'm glad to see Cavalli expanding his repertoire to include sweet gals, not just wild things. For the latter, the feather trench coats, vests and pants will satiate their sassy appetite. As for the more demure, they will love all the floral details that Cavalli plastered on his Read more

Milan Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Giorgio Armani

Sensual, cool tailoring is the Armani way, and for Spring Giorgio delivered just that - with a bit of harlequin romance. With a mellow palette consisting of greys, beiges, and black along with navy and green, the languid summers of southern Italy were the designer's inspiration this season. For day, there's loose draping, sheer fabrics and asymmetrical cuts, with sporty touches like tank tops Read more
