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!).

Mary Katrantzou...s/s 2011!

Mary Katrantzou is a designer that is conquering the fashion world with her wonderful prints and her absolutely new and fresh style. 

I find on Net-a-Porter this amazing long dress, which close the s/s 2011 show, with a classic print of Mary and  two black sheer silk-chiffon ruched drapes at side. 

As you know, fringes are one of the trends of this s/s and a lot of brands such as Gucci, Balmain.... use this decoration. Those two chiffon pieces give to the dress a movement that is like the movement given by fringes but in a more "legant" and innovative way. Katrantzou styel is strange and sometimes could appear a bit exaggerate but I think that with this dress, or in general with her last shows, she is really improving her style and moving to a more elgant one. I hope that she will never abandon these amazing tridimensional prints which make her so unique and different from the other designers. 

 The dress is all realized in silk and, of course silk-chiffon.

Christopher Kane...galaxy!

Christopher Kane galaxy prints are becoming "it-prints" (is not a classic definition but I find that it gives you the idea of the concept), we find them on menswear and womenswear clothes which don't loose the Kane's style and his shapes. The silver biker style jacket is made by silk-chiffon, its appearance is more similar to a minidress with a voluminous skirt. The top is transparent and it represents a unique style that I remember to have seen only in Kane collections. The colors are a bit opaque not so brights and the big use of black made the jacket so dark. But the dark (or sometimes gothic) style is so contemporary and trendy in this period, so this jacket is the perfect "innovaitve-jacket" for the following season!

Emilio Pucci printed...skirt!

This skirt of Emilio Pucci is the symbol of the most spread and interesting trends of our epoque: the prints. In fact, we could see Erdem, Prada, Williamson, Custo, Proenza Schouler, Gucci, Marni, Versace... And especially on the red carpets we see how a colorfull print could refresh and make interesting a boring look. So Pucci before with Williamson and now with Peter Dundas is everywhere on every stars. This skirt shows one of the infinitive Pucci's print and maybe this is the most common Pucci print. The hem with a contrast print is truly particular because draw a special silhouette on this maxi skirt that, as we seaw some day ago, is a trend of this season.
