Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2014 Menswear
©ourtesy of GQ
See full Dolce & Gabbana Fall-Winter 2014 Collection.
Dolce & Gabbana (Italian pronunciation: [ˈdoltʃe e ɡabˈbaːna]) is an Italian luxury industry fashion house.
The company was started by Italian designers Domenico Dolce (born 13
August 1958 in Polizzi Generosa, Sicily) and Stefano Gabbana (born 14
November 1962 in Milan). By 2005 their turnover was €597 million.
The two met in Milan in 1980 and worked for the same fashion house. In
1982 they established a designer consulting studio; in time it grew to
become “Dolce & Gabbana”. They presented their first women’s
collection in 1985 in Milan, where a year later their store would open its doors. (Dolce & Gabbana 2011).

Milan F/W: Moschino Rocked it.
©ourtesy of Sarah Harris @ Vogue.uk
See all show photos MOSCHINO turns 30 this year and celebrations have been non-stop. As one would expect from a house such as this, a milestone anniversary was never going to slip by, unnoticed. The Italians already staged a runway show in Shanghai earlier this year, and everyone was expecting something bigger and better on home turf this week. Invitations arrived accompanied by a boxed white t-shirt branded “For Fashion Victims Only,” and for days now, rumours have been circling of Gloria Gaynor set to perform I am what I am. Those rumours proved true. The show opened with video footage of founder Franco Moschino, who died in 1994 from complications of AIDS, aged just 44. It was a poignant moment, but show-goers, fuelled by champagne supped in the courtyard, were in the mood for a party and with that, the curtain opened and out popped Pat Cleveland in that full-skirted “cow” gown (the same gown she wore 30 years ago, in 1983 for the house’s first ever fashion show). The crowd lapped it up whooping and cheering. Only in Milan. Other archival hits followed, such as the clustered teddy bear hat and scarf, and a ball gown made from bin bags.
The
spring collection that followed is best described as a catalogue of
reworked greatest hits, from safety-pinned embellished black jackets
with ring-pull zip pockets, to rose-printed dresses, gingham bloomers,
monochrome ruffle-collared skirt suits and T-shirts emblazoned “Niente”
and a caftan that read “Holy Chic”. Everything was trussed up on good
girls or bad girls, the former accessorised with pearls, the latter with
brassy gold chains, hoop earrings, and those shouty logo belts. It was
humorous, delightful, outrageous and ridiculous and in all, a thoroughly
fitting tribute by Rossella Jardini,
Frano Moschino’s friend and former assistant who took up the reins in
the mid Nineties – and yes, there are many pieces here that will prove
to be commercial hits too, when these clothes land in stores in spring –
but in truth, that wasn’t really the point of it all this evening. Take
it away Gaynor…!

Milan Fashion Week: day 2

The first Milan Fashion Week show of Day 2 was Max Mara. The main inspiration of the collection was Africa and safari style, filtered through the iconic style of the maison. The main items were safari jackets, trenches, jumpsuits and tuxedos. The colors passed from the warm shades like tan, beige, camel to more cold shades and deepest black. I really liked the mix of floral colors and military prints and the oversized tortoise sunglasses.max mara

After New York and London, it’s Milan
Fashion Week turn to have a say as to how women will dress for the
spring-summer 2013. If the first day of previews was any indication,
next summer will feature a lot of bold color and patterns. While the
more structured, usually daytime, looks were in heavier fabrics, evening
or playtime came in airier, diaphanous materials like chiffon and tulle
at Gucci in Milan.

Romantic looks: Some of the delicate prints were reminiscent of Japanese floral wallpaper and the bell sleeves of a simple cocktail sheath (left) underlined the couture feel of the Gucci collection
Milan designers are offering more romantic looks rather than their trademark slinky and sexy. Long and loose pants were paired with ample tunic tops while voluminous long skirts offered a nice sweep. The accessories – high-heels and bags alike – often replicated Read more…Sunday, June 17, 2012

Milan Fashion Week has drawn to a close
and we’ve taken a look at the key trends to emerge for next season from
the Italian catwalks. Fur, as already seen on the Autumn/Winter 2012
runway in both New York and London, also returned to Milan as the winter
outerwear favorite.
AW12 trend: Fur. Missoni, Gucci and Etro.
Soft fur jackets contrasted Etro’s boho styles and Missoni’s
signature colorful knitted stripes while two-tone fur complimented
Marni’s block color collection. Full fur coats were seen at Gucci and
Fendi, the former adopting a classic look while the latter opted for
bright dyed fur.
AW12 trend: Slate. Anteprima and Sportmax. Read more…

Top sort after JAMAICAN Model, SHENA
‘Saint International’s’ top model Shena Moulton firmly stamped her mark on the fashion world during the last quarter of 2011. Moulton’s blistering schedule in November and December proved her mettle, and she was the only Jamaican model during the the most recent pre-fall collection. She appeared for the highly selective Calvin Klein runway shows, taking her tally of showings for the designer to four. This solidifies her status as one of Calvin Klein’s ‘It’ girls, a description not often given to black models. “In three weeks (November to December) Shena shot Italian Vogue in Milan, Playing Fashion Magazine in London, Grey Magazine and Marie Claire in Paris, and Interview Magazine in New York,” explained Deiwght Peters, owner of Saint International and the man credited with discovering Moulton and guiding her international career. – - read more about Shena

Bottega Veneta Goes Green
Bottega Veneta
may not rank highly in the minds of animal lovers, seeing that their
spring 2012 collection alone featured glazed crocodile, grommet-covered
ostrich, and lizard skin accessories. But their standing with
tree-huggers just went up. The luxury brand’s Milan headquarters was recently awarded a “Carbon Neutral
2010” certification. It’s apparently just the beginning for Bottega
though. The brand is planning to reduce greenhouse gas emissions during
their fashion week and sales campaigns—times of the year when pollution
spikes, according to the brand. No surprise, considering the amount of
power, energy, and air travel that goes into producing a single show.
Luckily they’re already moving in the right direction by using carbon credits to offset additional impact. Bottega isn’t the first luxury label to go green, though. Stand-out predecessors include Stella McCartney and Vivienne Westwood who takes part in the International Trade Centre’s ethical fashion program. Maria Cornejo‘s
also on board—she used fabric made of recycled cassette tapes in her
pre-fall collection. All in all, this is certainly a spring trend that
we can get behind. – – follow more on BottegaRelated articles

Milan MENSWEAR June 2011 Collections
MILAN – Fashion designers at the Milan menswear week opted for untied shirts, raffia hats and crocodile espadrilles for next summer to lighten up the wardrobes of men who dress to impress. Milan’s holiday-themed collections brought a whiff of fresh air into the fashion industry, which is undergoing an intense round of consolidation and bourse listings. Luxury groups Prada and Salvatore Ferragamo are aiming to raise as much as $2.67 billion in their initial public share offerings, or IPOs, this month. “It’s fantastic to see all these projects that are warming up the market. Investors’ interest shows that the fashion industry is growing,” Gianluca Brozzetti, Chief Executive of Italian fashion house Roberto Cavalli, told Reuters. Trendsetter designer Miuccia Prada, back from a fashion show in Hong Kong for IPO investors, delivered in Milan a carefree collection inspired by golf courses, with ironic shirts in cartoon and floral prints playing with tailored suits. The fashion industry, a key contributor to Italy’s economy, is expected to generate 65 billion euros ($93 billion US) this year, according to Italy’s Chamber of Fashion, up 7% from 2010. At Ferragamo, designer Massimiliano Giornetti brought guests to the French Riviera for his laidback collection, with models in raffia panama hats and close-fitting suits in creamy colours. A scent of the Riviera also reached Ermenegildo Zegna, featuring crinkled silk jackets in muted bleached colours. ...See more Photos and Read more -- CLICK HERE
