MFW: Bottega Veneta, Dsquared2, Cavalli and more!

Dsquared2
This was a celebration of colour at Dsquared with neon bright's, fun  accessories and 80s nostalgia. It was a little tribal in some places and then back to the 1980's heyday with funky patterned leggings, loud mini skirts and tiny bikinis perfect for the summer. As always with Dsquared, you  no you're basically being invited to a huge party and their collections never fail to disappoint those fans who love all things glamourous and eccentric, such as those puffy skirts made from duchess satin in bold pink and blue. A really great show which put a smile on my face. And my fav model Alessandra Ambrosio made an appearance in a blue and pink striped mini dress!



Jil Sander
I am not a big fan of Jill Sander and never have been even when the great Raf Simmons was creative director of the brand.  This season again played with a very minimal colour pallet in neutral tones and beiges, with each model wearing a hat which at first reminded me of classic Vietnam dress - not sure if it was meant to be taken that way! I don't really know what to say about this show as I don't pay much attention to boring fashion, but included it just because it's such a major fashion brand at MFW, and I'm sure there are plenty of Jil fans out there.


Roberto Cavalli
This was the first  Roberto Cavalli collection under the new creative direction of Peter Dundas, previously the king of prints at Emilio Pucci. Anything that this genius of a designer touches seems to just instantly be a smash hit, and his debut for Roberto Cavalli has only received positive feedback so far. I loved it, and I'm sure Mr Cavalli himself will be so too. It was very 80s with leopard print, boxy jackets and tie-dye mini dressed and also super feminine, with floaty numbers in pastel colours and plenty of material trailing behind the models as they walked. I loved the rufells and soft vibe of the show, even though it has a tough, sexy edge that only Dundas can create. 



Bottega Veneta 
I absolutely loved this show! And also the fact that a number of the old supermodels featured in it, such as Isabelli Fontana, Carmen Pedaru, Kasia Struss and Joan Smalls. Thomas Maier knows how to make a women feel powerful, strong and stylish as well as beautiful and this collection did exactly that. The khaki shades and lovely neutral tones added glamour and sophistication as did the fiery leopard print and the super cool bomber jackets. For Bottega it was quite youthful but yet so glamorous. The creasing in the fabrics were divine and the whole styling of the show was really spot on.
