#MFW - Day 3

Versace - Donatella Versace stated that she was Inspired by a more modern, young and fresh vibe for her latest collection. It was still very sexy with mini skirts and leather, but there were also pretty pastel ensembles and logo baring silk shirts. I loved the geometric and sporty influences, with stripes and bold patterns clear trends. Love Versace!



Moschino - I know I'm pretty late publishing these photos from the Moschino show, but let me tell you...it has been one of my favourite collections of Milan Fashion Week so far! 'Barbie Heaven' was the clear motto of the show, with models scarily mirroring Barbie doll looks and proportions while wearing a lot of pink. This show looked like it had just jumped out of a Barbie movie, literally. Plastic Fantastic! Jeremy Scott certainly has some amazing ideas for his shows, from McDonalds last season to Barbie this spring/summer 2015. Wow!

Prada -  Dark and grungy yet structured and tailored. This was my understanding of Miuccia Prada's latest catwalk collection, which I have to admit was not one of her best. First of all, it looked more like a fall collection rather than something suited for spring, but then Prada likes to shock and surprise. Plus, Miuccia doesn't follow the fashion rules! I loved the coats which were belted at the waist in tan, maroon and black whereas the dresses reeked of Italian style and sophistication. And yes, the whole 'wear socks with your heels' trend seems to be back!


Blumarine - Pretty, perfect and linked to the wonders of the sea. Blumarine always give us a little slice of Italian glamour with something special on the side. For spring, its clear that Blumarine want their customers to feel cool and collected in pastel colours and floral prints. All the colours were very soft and tame and their models looked naturally beautiful with minimal make up and straigtened hair.


Etro - This fashion house is a favourite of mine. I love the use of prints, paisley patterns and colour which makes Etro just so unique and cool. For spring, there was a sense of 70's boho with garlands of necklaces, gypsy skirts and layers of fabric thrown carelessly over one another. Aztec prints also crept onto jackets and dresses while I spotted a cute wrap dress too. Overall, a great collection full of character.


Missoni - Another luxury Italian brand who take prints and pattern to a whole new level are Missoni. However, this collection seemed to tone down the usually outlandish patterns and instead focused on a more delicate, tailored look with sweeping silk dresses and crafted evening jackets. All models wore fun headscarfs wrapped tightly around their heads and the shoes were wearable (and comfortable!) summer sandals. I'll take a piece of that any day...
