Fall trends...floreal prints!

In these days in Milan there is a very sunny weather and it's like we are still in summer (even if fall started yet). In Paris the designers are showing their s/s 2012 collection (as it happened in NY, London and MiIlan), so everywhere we see summer clothes and most of us are still wearing them. By the way, in the shops there are the f/w winter collections and now we should focus and think about this winter. For this reason I decided to write about this trend that is a fall one (I chose just pics from f/w 2011) but that is a MUST for the spring (I think that everyone thinks to flower speaking about summer even if I'm so bored when I see flower in s/s shows!).

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.
