Lanvin

Some of the best tribal looks on the runway I have ever seen. Characteristic of Alber Elbaz is the draping which was excuted really well here as well, but the tribal twist really made for an edgy collection. The inspiration for this african tribal motif perhaps comes from the fact that he is about to become a UNICEF ambassador.

This collection was a great celebration of strong womanhood. The clothes were still delicate but the bold strong african tribal jewelry really added a unique element. With this collection it feels like fashion is on the brink of something new. This collection has really made it's mark and will be talked about for some time.

Dior

It was not hard to figure out what Galliano was pushing for this season, the collection had a equestrian theme flowing all the way through it. There were many capes paired with thigh-high boots we all have come to love. Chiffon pieces under the leather heavy collection helped to soften it up. Galliano also incorporated the barely there trend in his evening pieces which were all constructed from chiffon. The evening pieces were so delicate and feminine with a revealing racey twist.

I loved the play on the hard leather look and the delicate feminine chiffon aspect. Very well done.

Moschino

In classic moschino style this collection was suit heavy. Black was the main color but it was done with great gold embellishments. Pencil skirt suited were done with variety, a little Chanel-esque in moments. Nonetheless, elegant and trendy.

There was also a spanish flamenco theme interweaving through the collection. Portrayed by the ruffled which let loose and wild in this collection. The evening pieces were all with the ruffles in neon colors towards the end of the show. There were some extremely interesting pieces all however were reserved for a risk taking individual.

Ferragamo

Minimalism and Class. Characteristic of what you would expect from a Ferragamo collection. A Color palette of earthy tones with a sort of hippie, free feeling present in the styling. Clothes were extremely wearable. There were some really intriguing pieces such as the leather shorts, a first on the runways this season.

There were many floor length trenches, cable knit sweaters and some jumpsuits, which were a nice touch, unique to the ferragamo show as there weren't many jumpsuits on runways this season as well.

Leathers and trenches were beautifully portrayed with the earth tone color palette keeping garments wearable and classy, a true Ferragamo collection.

Cavali!

RAWR! Animal print galore! Floretine designer Roberto Cavali pulled out all the stops but geared towards a different aesthetic than usual. Print heavy is characteristic of Cavali's work but gone were the pulnging necklines and thigh grazing ensembles. Sexy was brought out in a different way in this collection.

I loved the play on animal prints, it was done very successfully. There are some gorgeous coats printed with extremely intricate beautiful patterns. Fur was very prominent on the runway and it's looking like it will be a staple trend for the next season.

Dsqaured

The boys of Dsquared brought Milan a show jam packed with drama and flare. Dresses were tight, skirts were short and they were topped of with huge fur coats and brightly colored tights adding the dramatic flare. The common trend recently is that designers have toned down the "drama" factor in their collections but Dsqaured went against that sentiment. This collection however, was more adult than their past but I don't doubt that it will be well received by all of their previous audiences.

Great job boys!

Emporio Armani fall 2010

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this collection. Armani yet again plays successfully with the masculine/feminine look. I loved how the softness of the outfits was countered with a hard moment, perhaps in a motorcycle jacket or the black neckpiece accessory on most of the models. The main underlying theme was the black in the black velvet, this was accented with Tibetan reds, metallics, and shades of cream.

The section of jewel bright colors sent a roar through the crowd. This collection was a serious hit!

Versace sizzle

The runway was sizzling at the Versace show. The models walked to sounds of revving motorcycles, a sound track fitting for the collection. It was leather heavy and insanely sexy. Donatella pulled out all the stops on this one! Dresses were short, lots of skin baring cut-outs on the gowns, backless numbers, and the characteristic long slit. The show featured statement making colors or electric blues, classic black, canary yellows, red and a whole lotta leather accents.
