That 70s Fashion Show

...And that is what Emilio Pucci's Fall/Winter 07/08 Collection was - a 70s fashion show. At a time when your dark colors usually prevail, Matthew Williamson decides to use a color palette that only consists of bright colors and geometric patterns. I'm not always a big fan of 70s style (it depends on the time and the place), but I have to say, I kinda liked some of these looks. (Primarily the geometric prints in darker shades, as you can see from the looks I've chosen). And I really believe that this show was all in the details. These models, with their 70s hair, makeup and accessories, are the ones who managed to bring the whole look together. Take everything apart, and I just don't think it would make sense.

So Etro

Doing what they do best - rich color and textures. Top left and bottom right are my faves. Even though the bottom right looks like a Robin outfit.

Pushing the Envelope

A coat with arm slits, a color-blocking knee length dress, an orange (pimp) coat, and a fur top (vest?) paired with a flapper-like skirt. Only Prada can do this with style and grace.

And of course, she can't stop at the clothes. A furry clutch, footless socks, a pocketed-holding clutch, and more footless socks with bling shoes. Again, only Prada.

Bravo, Marni. Bravo.

Marni Fall/Winter Fall 07/08 Collection. Classic Marni looks with an added edge to it. Great dresses (especially the top 2 right ones with their amazing hemline). And those shoes - I must have them all! Marni is a definite favorite for Milan Fashion Week.

It's Amore

Milano Moda Donna (Milan Fashion Week) began this weekend. I've been to Milan only once in my life. On my way from Pisa to Venice, I stopped by to switch trains. Unfortunately my stay lasted about 30 minutes so I couldn't absorb the culture of the city. One day I will go back. Fashion Week has convinced me - it's a must.

So here are my picks so far.

Burberry Prorsum

Burberry is known for their coats; and they remind us of this fact in their Fall/Winter 07/08 Collection. Expect they add a twist: they shorten it a bit to create minis.

C'N'C Costume National

C'N'C Costume National also followed the trend of minis. I am loving the neckline of the first dress.

Kristina Ti

Nothing amazingly innovative but all are cute and wearable.

Moschino Cheap & Chic

Not a big fan of the accessories (a doggie purse? ummm...no. and are those boxing gloves?) I like the cropped jackets and the pink tights paired with a black dress.

Pringle of Scotland

A printed dress that is great for Fall, and a nicely-fitted jacket great for Winter.
