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!

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.
