Bowling Lanvin JL

Lanvin is famous for its wonderful dresses and the iconic sneakers. Alber Elbaz shows every season very awesome pieces and he is really good in making accessories. I believe that Lanvin shoes are always one of the most desirable accessory that women want. Speaking about bags, Lanvin makes nice ones that, however, are not so good to be classified as "it-bags" or must have: these bags, with the same prices of other brands, are cool but you know are different from like a CLASSIC Prada, YSL or Bottega Veneta handbag. BTW, Alber Elbaz and so Lanvin decided to change this thing. For this spring Lanvin made a daybag called Bowling JL that will surely be a must have. The bag is available in three sizes and in luxurious material such as python and smooth calf.

What I love of this bag is its couture detail (The JL initial embroidered on the leather) and the fact that finally even Lanvin is going to have its own it-bag which can really be in competition with other bags such as PS1 or maybe even Kelly.

The bag is already available on LuisaViaRoma.

Marni...H&M and its last collections!

Here is the video of the official announce of the Marni collaboration with H&M for s/s 2012.

After the Versace for H&M in march there will be another great designer such as Consuelo Catiglioni which will make a limited collection for the Swedish fast fashion company. Jimmy Choo, Stella McCartney, Roberto Cavalli, Viktor & Rolf, Comme des Garçons, Matthew Williamson, Sonia Rykiel, Lanvin and Versace. These brand are the ones which have collaborate with H&M and sometimes they make amazing collection like Verscae of CdG, sometimes they didn't like V&R. However the amazing thing about Marni is that this brand is maybe one of the brand which makes the rgeatest prints. If we want to think about amazing prints we must think about Pucci, Prada, Proenza Schouler, Burberry, Dries Van Noten, Diane Von Furstenberg and Marni. Marni makes also wonderful bag and shes. Consuelo Castiglioni said that she wants to show again her collection in a cheaper way...If she will really make this I'm sure that this will be the most appreciated collection, even more than Versace.

I posted also some pictures of the s/s and f/w 2012 collections to show you some of the amazing prints which are the main feature of Marni. I love its flowers, its bags but I can't understand the shoes. However, I love Marni and I'm looking forward for seeing this collaboration.

Capes are always... trendy!

Capes are always chic. During f/w 2010 a lot of designers showed them and now the trend came back thanks to Alexander Wang, Valli, Burberry and Pilati which dedicated some outfit to the capes. Alexander Wang used the cape to revision his own urban style and capes give to it a glamourous touch that sometimes is lost by a too urban aesthetic. Saint Laurent, Pilati, developed an absolutely new model maybe the chicest cape ever seen that is very very elegant. Burberry, Bailey, showed a transparent cape with black details that during rainy days would be the best choice. Azzaro added some fur to give a personal touch to the cape. Elbaz for Lanvin showed a very complex and sophisticated model in a nice beige with a nice detail just on the neck: very easy, almost minimalistic, but with the characteristic Lanvin silhouette. Valli didn't show capes but he just use the characteristic shape of capes to "cover" the upper part of the dresses. Owens has a very unique style that allows him to mix his own metropolitan vision of the world with the chic appeal of Paris.

In conclusion capes are still one of the collect trends and I absolutely love them!

Fall trends...floreal prints!

3:00 AM

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!).
