Rodarte...skirts from f/w 2010!

When I saw these skirts I couldn't avoid to show you them...They are a bit expensive but please go on and look about their perfection. The vintage style of them, made by Rodarte, is mixed with a sense of movemente that it's so strange and unusual in "vintage inspired" clothes. But it's useless to speak abotu any kind of style when we speak about Rodarte: it has its style and it's truly stupid try to put it in a "classic style".

Crystal lovers...Roberto Cavalli

So often people think to Cavalli as a volgar, inelegant designer. But it's not so and he is one of the most important designer that create evening dresses.

For the Crystal Lovers project he went out his classical style of ethnic and urban-warrior women and went into a more sweet and romantic style. The cocktail-dress is developed on a soft light pink organza silk and it's decorated with Swarovski elements: perfect for a lovely evening with the partner or for a cockatil party with the friends.

Sleeves...so particular!

The sleeves are so important as the other elements of the jacket, in particular for the kimono and coats. The wool and prints collaborate with the sleeve to desing a very soft line that is very actual and loved today. Furthermore is interesting the appearance. As the very stretch clothes are so sexy and so often are also a bit casual (not every time, but often...) the "soft" clothes are so elegant and have a taste of "past" regality by that everyone is fascinated. In particular is amazing the whiteness of the Givenchy one (first photo) and the bon-chic bon-genre of Valli's cape: that's full of his style, the style that we love!

Do menswear and womenswear... still exist?

I desire to give you some ideas to think about the new, or old?, trend of the men to wear feminine clothes. I invite you to see that also Mantegna, in 1500, purposed men in "women" dresses and with leggins. So, the idea of "womenswear" and "menswear" is a modern mind and it's not obviously true...the roles of the two genders change a lot during the time and it's os old to think that a man can't wear a pair of heels or a woman can't wear something masculine. For example Owens, that's married with a woman, wears abitually heels.

Maxi skirts...trendy!

For this f/w 2010 we can see a lot of maxi skirts. They are of all kinds: from the "gothic" one made by Demeulemeester, to the printed of Erdem and Cavalli and in the end the metallic of Jacobs and Karan. In a period, like our is, where the designers purpose almost every time mini skirts and mini dresses, especially in winter is interesting, from my point of view, seeing more "textile" on the women's bodies. I believe that the long skirts are not "old" clothes or vintage but are very contemporary. Furthermore the different purposes of designer allow the customers to choose between a lot of skirts that are right for almost  every style...(except the "streetwalkers" style...).

Especially the details make this skirts contemporary as a mini-skirt could be.
