Best In Show

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week flew south this week for Swim fashion week. All the hottest designers showcased their barely there designs in the hottest place in the U.S....Miami! Oh how I long for the humid and scorching hot weather as I put up with Michigan :-/.

Anywho I breezed through the shows to see who did what and who attended and I must say I was most impressed by Mara Hoffman. The exotic prints and graphics hooked me, and she has the most beautiful cover-ups.... adding to my longing for a beach(grrrr). AND! She had Whitney Port working her show...I guess she does really work, lol.

Milan Fashion Show


This Tuesday was the exquisite 2010 menswear show, or Milan for short - overall consisting of sophistication with a dressed down style, some of which evoked a travel look. To keep you up to date with some of your favorite designers I have here a summary of what exactly went on.

Because this was a Spring/Summer collection, top names took advantage of men’s bodies, from the vests by Cavalli to the open tops and tight swimming trunks by D&G, there is and was plenty of skin to be shown! But who got a standing ovation from the crowd?None other then Emporio Armani, Giorgio showed off his olive skinned models in suits in light hues of grey, with a tailored look and defined shoulders, overall giving off a “city smart” yet “comfortable” look. For this same approach he has techno mesh with bright orange that gave it that perfect flair, needed for those urban nights with your cadre. Suits were checkered or stripped, shirts have loud and often times, obnoxious patterns, but it all came together for a very unified look.

Men are looking for excitement in fashion, Versace and Gucci know this, they went with a disposition that was “resolutely optimistic,” starting shows with pale creams.

Latter in the show we see hot reds coming with Gucci evening suits, this mixed in with a black line, also accompanied with Bottega Veneta. The tops and trousers went well with tie-dye pattern.

Versace and Gucci, whose mood was "resolutely optimistic", started their shows with men dressed in white or pale creams.

For accessorizes, designers played with plastics.

With much love,
