Donna Karan...birds on shoes!

It's a bit strange speaking about a pair of shoes by Donna Karan but when I saw this model I remained amazed and I can't not share my amazement with you. 

This gladiator sandal is realized in suede, decorate with feathers, crystal and silk. The final result is a mix'n'match very elegant and really dramatic that made this shoes so right for a Siriano dress, for example.

A little thing that does't matter a lot, do you see the Siriano show for the following f/w? Don't you find it a bit "ouf of Siriano style"...? I found it really "boring" and stupid respect the classical "leegant" and scenographic Siriano's creations. 

However, I return to speak abotu these shoes. I love them because the "birds" referrement it's clear but not too heavy to cover the shoes and the sandal maintains "its identity" with a touch of extravagnt style that is ever cool. It's a "dangerous" mdoel becuase it's really easy to appear "stupid" or "ridicoulous" with that but  I think that it could be really elegant, too.

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.
