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.

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!).

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.

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.
