9 warning signs that Milan Fashion Week is not over

February 27, 2014

In which Fendi sends drones down the runway and Giorgio Armani is furious at Anna Wintour for ditching his show.

#Karlito ends up in your wish list (see full story here)

When grass + feathers + fur all in one outfit are #hipster and not anymore the last minute Hawaiian dress up costume you bought at Party City for Mardi Gras.

When your ideal of leopard-on-leopard reaches material perfection levels and looks effortless, like at Sportmax.

When the Yogi Bear hat is indeed the most coveted item of all times and appears at Emporio Armani. Long live the deformed hat whose fame escalated from the cartoon to Arby's, to Pharrell's at the Grammy's (by Dame Westwood).

BTW, if you want to be 'Happy', just throw in the croc miniskirt.

When referring to 'Blurred Lines' you think of those color block, wavy and curvaceous of the Agnona Collezione Uno by Stefano Pilati.

When wearing mink bloomers under a bejeweled mini dress is not an issue.

When you hope those modified Aviator spectacles will become available for the summer at your trusted fast-fashion outlet.

When you wish you could un-see the above, because you didn't work in fashion that long to deserve the vision of such a disappointing C-.

When you must make up a party because you need to own this Pucci gown and show it off.

Valentino Couture

February 22, 2014

I am never bored or ashamed at repeating over and over that I grew up where Giacomo Puccini was born, lived and composed.

Could I be prouder of the fact that le arie of La Madama Butterfly and La Boheme as a child were as frequent in the house as a PBJ sandwich in an American household?

And now, the Emperor’s heirs, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli followed their inspiration of letting the music and the stories of the operas (the most famous in the world) inspiring them. Result: an outstanding spring Couture staged under a backdrop of butterfles. Sublime execution of Couture.
