		<description><![CDATA[The Paris Haute Couture shows are going on right now and one immediate thing came to mind when I saw the Valentino show it feels somewhat closed off. Yes it&#8217;s an elegant experiment with this overriding theme of walled off intricately detailed embroidered (and as Cathy Horyn of the New York Times put it) &#8220;curled ironwork&#8221;. Horyn is uncharacteristically forgiving to designers Pierpaolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri (though she still managed recall their tumultuous beginning at the fashion house). What is it about this collection that stirs the pot? It&#8217;s that obvious image of large foreboding gates that wall off something that might tempt. It&#8217;s not ethereal, it&#8217;s grounded in the present world. But there&#8217;s no telling if this is a statement or simply a design decision. With haute couture we&#8217;re always supposed to believe it&#8217;s the former and not the latter. Whatever it is, this closed-off, embroidered Valentino collection, is beautiful and shows what is looking like a design resurgence for the company.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Fall Fashion Week season kicks off with Mercedes Benz fashion week in New York. Sifting through preferred shows to attend and the shows that are known to have something decidedly new or fresh is not easy. Joanna Mastroianni&#8216;s showings are almost always the exception. We&#8217;ve covered her collections for nearly 8 years and in every fall showing we&#8217;ve been impressed by her versatility and ability to create something wholly different. This year looks to be no different. We&#8217;re expecting to see some use of fur and an accentuation of slim silhouettes. We&#8217;re also expecting a beautiful dress in Mastroianni&#8217;s signature black. Finally you can expect the curve ball. Mastroianni tends to surprise with her final piece so anything is possible and more likely probable. Fashion week comes to New York February 7th to the 14th.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If while looking through the photos of Ann Demeulemeester&#8217;s collection you&#8217;re reminded of Flash Gordon or your conjuring up images of Ming the Merciless, you&#8217;re not far off. Obscure references to 1980 film&#8217;s aside, Ann Demeulmeester&#8217;s Spring/Summer 2013 collection is voluminous in parts of outfits that are usually spare, and spare in parts of outfits that are usually voluminous. An example are the near floor-length sleeves that consisted primarily of wispy, light, airy fabric but were in excess, because&#8230;they were near the floor. Under normal circumstances this would seem bulky and impossible to pull off, but this is Ann Demeulemeester and in keeping with the Ann Demeulmeester aesthetic, this comes off effortlessly. Even more from the collection shimmery calf-length pants, voluminous gowns that mimicked 2012 future outfits that were imagined in 1980, hence the Flash Gordon reference. I will say this, Anne Demeulemeester&#8217;s Spring/Summer 2013 collection is one of my favorites of the fashion week season because the collection looks as impossible to wear in person as it does in photos (floor length sleeves), but it *is* possible, and easy at that. Pulling this off, is no simple feat. It&#8217;s genius.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No she&#8217;s not simply a bridal designer anymore. Hasn&#8217;t been &#8220;just that&#8221; for years. And maybe she never was just that to be perfectly honest. Anne Valerie Hash&#8217;s Spring/Summer 2013 collection is simply stated a otherworldly spiritual adventure outside of the body. Hash&#8217;s collection featured sharp lines at the beginning with straight edge cuts at the shoulders, a jacket with a beautifully soft floral print on the lapels contrasted again with the sharp lines and satin, did I mention satin. The fabric was everywhere and played as the foil to that ethereal fairy-like theme. Because while many of the pieces from the collection included chiffon and featured a playful-like demeanor, the satin, and the lines were serious. Hash&#8217;s Spring/Summer 2013 collection seems to be one big contradiction, which in itself is more than fine, it&#8217;s good.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ever since Gareth Pugh left London&#8217;s Fashion Week scene, London has not been the same. Yes there are still the vagaries of the London scene like a Charlie Le Mindu or just something completely off beat. But with Pugh in London, you could always expect the unknown. He&#8217;s brought that to Paris, just by turning it up a notch, or two, or three. Eric Wilson of the New York Times stated that watching Pugh&#8217;s collection over six years is like &#8220;watching a “True Blood” marathon. A vampire’s lust for the goth aesthetic is a given in Mr. Pugh’s eternally watchable world of cobweb skirts and leather dusters.&#8221; Sure, that&#8217;s one takeaway. But here&#8217;s another: look past the brooding makeup and the goth pageantry and you&#8217;ll find a beautiful aesthetic with an edge. It&#8217;s to the left and deservedly so. Pugh put together for this season a series of gowns that provided the true futuristic heir to 15th century looks. If you could imagine time-warping from 15th century Spain into this century and ignore all the fashion turns in-between, that&#8217;s exactly what I saw and imagined. Pugh flirted with flaring at the waist, but brought it back in with a rigid [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The anonymous designers at MaxMara can toil in obscurity all they want (or rather all the Maramotti family wants), but there&#8217;s no mistaking the overall angle. Creating instantly wearable collections that can go from season to season without skipping a beat seems to be the ethos behind this collection. The 2013 season is no different. During the presentation for the Spring 2013 season, the MaxMara collection contained a distinctly safari like bent, not quite African, not quite Indian, just a melange of striped colors, camouflage and prints that range in the realm of animal to floral. The blouses had lightweight hoods and were the length of t-shirts in some instances. The collection was styled with oversized chunky bags and equally open toe chunky clogs with a strapped around the heel. An elegant but by-the-numbers collection from a designer that has hundreds (if not thousands) of stores worldwide.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When Milan fashion week opened last Thursday many in the media did not know what to expect. It&#8217;s not that the Italian designers like to throw everyone for a loop just for fun. It&#8217;s just that by and large, the designers are fickle and can be influenced by nearly anything. So when Frida Giannini debuted Gucci&#8217;s Spring/Summer 2013 collection she apparently knew (and this is just supposition) that overtly sexy dress was out and a more subtle titillation was due this season. By displaying prints that had a myriad of swirls, turns and curls, belted tunics that were not quite shirt but also couldn&#8217;t fall into your garden variety tops. Then there were silk organza dresses long in form that belied what would normally be taken as a stodgy dress, far from, it was sexy because the movement of the fabric mirrored the form underneath. This was no ordinary Gucci show. This was Giannini showing us that she knew something that we didn&#8217;t: for this collection at least, sexy wasn&#8217;t a decade, wasn&#8217;t a concept, wasn&#8217;t even overt. It was and is an overall aesthetic.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you were wondering where Alberta Feretti would go for her Spring Summer 2013 collection, wonder no more. Ferretti went uber feminine conjuring up lace, frills, in multiple hues. Nearly all of the pieces shown were not typical everyday items. Ferretti stressed gowns in rich shimmery black as well as nude, but saved the lace and delicate materials for an array of greens and blues. Lace was a recurring theme throughout the show and the designer did it to extended elaborate effect (think Cate Blanchett, Lord of the Rings epic). There was also a sensual feel to the show that highlighted Ferretti&#8217;s homage to the feminine form. First thing that comes to mind is a sheer lace set in violet with matching undergarments. This collection was neither out of character for Ferretti or bold enough to change the overall story of Ferretti&#8217;s imprimatur.]]></description>

Think about it, and entire fashion show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion week in New York dedicated to denim. It&#8217;s not the denim itself that&#8217;s the issue in my eyes. The issue is how many variations on a theme can really come out and be considered creative? Merelda says it happened before her very own eyes. And I concur. See the review here.]]></description>

Monika Chiang&#8217;s collection for Spring 2013 is the epitome of that thought process. By providing a mixture of prints, airy pleated pants, a sharp cut leather jacket and top, Chiang went beyond the traditional runway show for a presentation that was strong enough because of the range. There are parts of this collection that are so creative, you will want something, anything from this designer.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nonoo hit the mark this season with its 2013 resortwear collection—on display at the Grammercy Park Hotel’s rooftop terrace Monday—striking a (highly wearable balance) between classic, time-tested silhouettes and contemporary detailing. While there were no standout pieces or finale-esque showstoppers among the 20 completed looks, the series provided a welcome sense of consistency and reliability overall. Instead of shaping the collection around any one theme, the midcentury-inspired aesthetic borrowed from a variety of contemporary looks without sacrificing excitement—in place of color-blocking, Nonoo’s neutral-heavy color pallete of beige, taupe, ivory and petal pink was punctuated with delicate bursts of magenta, cobalt blue, violet, and canary yellow; printastic shock pieces were delightfully scaled back to peek-a-boo pencil-skirt trims of navy sequin appliques, uncluttered paisleys, and just-subtle-enough contrasting-tone stripes and polka dots; and rather than design a new risk-taking shape for Spring and Summer, Nonoo’s original embellishments stood out against feminie garments that draped beautifully around a woman’s natural shape. The only looks Nonoo failed to fully deliver were either trying too hard to be sexy—the bright yellow shirred cocktail dress and structured deep-V blazer (paired with ultra-short shorts) screamed BCBG/Sweet 16 partywear—or rested a little too much on predictable retro appeal—the casual, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I received the Malandrino lookbook for resort styles sometime in July and I understand why the designer is so dynamic in the construction of evening dresses and gowns to an extent. But what&#8217;s really getting me ginned up is the rumblings of another incredible fashion week showing on the order of what was shown for last Spring. If you missed it, here&#8217;s the video I shot (the zoom function eluded me that day). This time Malandrino may pull another rabbit out of her hat and wow us again. The show starts at 4pm EST today and we&#8217;ll try to get this new-fangled live blogging mechanism up and running.]]></description>

No one has command of color and the ability to make it outlandishly fabulous like Custo Dalmau. So this Sunday while normal red blooded American males will be sitting in front of a TV watching football, I will be marvelling at the collection of Custo Barcelona. We&#8217;ll have coverage of the show and do a bit of live blogging at 7pm EST Sunday.]]></description>

Reviews for the show and detailed shots from Kevin Kane coming up later today. But overall this is another strong collection for the BCBG line and will get some thoughts going on what was good and not so good later today.

		<description><![CDATA[Glowing review posted for Mackage&#8217;s Spring Summer 2012 collection. Though a bit pugnacious as to whether it&#8217;s a feminine or skews to the more masculine side. The compromise would simply say it&#8217;s a mixture of both, Merelda McKinnon thinks differently and in her review she describes it as: feminine with a touch of bold in the form of strong defined sculptured lines Impressively, the designers didn&#8217;t alter their color palette to bring a light spring-like feeling to the collection, but it still avoided melancholy feeling normally found in stronger/darker colored collections. See the full review here. See the photos here.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My-wardrobe, the e-tailer for those in the know has re launched with a new look and more directed vision. The new look was unveiled at a party hosted at Sketch in London&#8217;s Mayfair to a crammed room of the fashion pack. Being London Fashion Week, it was prime time for gathering the crucial eyes of the editors from the UK and those travelling in the fashion month. Giant projections around the room showed the various shoots, shot in beautiful locations, new layouts and a feel that definitely had those around to wanting to shop. After the greetings, speeches and thanks to the crowd I managed to talk CEO and Founder Sarah Curran, who explained the thinking behind the look and a few other changes. Sarah introducing the new look site. Emily: The relaunch for My-wardrobe showing a fresh new look, what were influencing factors to make the changes? Sarah: Customer insight research showed us that our customer was slightly older than first thought and had a high expectation of what they wanted to see on site in terms of both designer and editorial content. It also confirmed that there is a huge demand for &#8216;everyday luxury&#8217; designer clothing &#8211; those fabulous [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As its Valentines weekend I thought I&#8217;d write a bit about lovely things. The Burberry Prorsum SS11 show produced a long list of coveted items for me as they sashayed down the mirrored runway last September. The metallic shades, pops of neon and studded skins had everyone in a spin. Biker chic had firmly planted its feet here, British style. Balmain has been the leader in rock looks for many a season but after the hype of the Aviator show last season, Christopher Bailey turned his eye to the house trench to re invent, and produced &#8220;the nice girl turned tough.&#8221; Not quite as naughty as the French but naughty enough for the English. Burberry SS11 source: style.com photographer: Yannis Vlamos Unlike Balmain&#8217;s rawness of ripped jeans and shorts, underneath at Burberry there were slips of silk ruffle dresses, really they were tiny, trimmed in leather, keeping the tone mildly more restrained. Of course there were exceptions, namely the silver foil skin tight trousers, but then there always are. source: style.com photographer: Monica Feudi / GoRunway.com Burberry SS11 source: style.com photographer: Yannis Vlamos In general I think valentines gifts are uncalled for, unless you have a point to make, usually [...]]]></description>

As the news filters through the fashion world, the rumours begin&#8230;Disbelieving posts on Twitter and social media pages fill the silence and try to answer the question &#8211; who can save our Lady as she free falls into the unknown?  Still, the comment that makes me smile is from Derek Blasberg, “She (or he) has some seriously big over the knee high heeled lace-up Alaia shoes to fill.” source: TheStyleSpy As the cogs continue to turn and the debate rages on &#8211; where has Carine gone, what will she do and who with&#8230; a silent figure emerges from stage left &#8211; our new heroine. Enter Emmanuelle Alt. As the Fashion Director of the title for as many years as Carine was Editor, she has made her own statements, in her own way. source: nogoodforme.com She knows the title well and will continue to create and expand the potential of this First Lady in Fashion. Bereft of make up and an understated, but no less polished, style of her own. She oozes Parisian street style chic, making us wish [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This Season there is an incredibly high number of retrospective exhibitions, anniversaries and book launches celebrating careers and talent in fashion. As you saw I went to the Maison Martin Margiela exhibition celebrating 20 years, Cavalli is celebrating his 40th year in the industry in practically every city. (If you are going to celebrate, do it in style best describes that one) Yves Saint Laurent had an epic run at the Petit Palais, Paris from March to August, but then he deserves all the time you can give as one of the founders’ of modern style. It would be difficult to drink in the whole exhibit in one go, plenty of reason to go back to Paris in my view. The biggie in Paris this season was masked ball for the marking of French Vogue’s 90th anniversary. Everyone pulled out all the stops to shine. None more so than Anna dello Russo, in a custom made Gareth Pugh headdress and gown from Pucci. Tyra Banks went for the drama but with a recession busting piece for her mask – an old pair, well maybe she splashed out for the occasion,  of fishnets stretched over her head. source:wishtv.com photographer:AP/Laurent Cipriani source:wishtv.com [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While others went with a predominantly pale set of colors for spring and summer collections, Karl Lagerfeld went for intensity and texture with the SS11 collection for Chanel. At Paris fashion week, Lagerfeld presented an array of prints with swirling shades of gray, black, raspberry and ballerina pink. It was all about proportion with printed trapeze dresses and puffed shoulders. Chiffon, lace and feathers made the subtle colors come alive with texture appearing on sleeves and hemlines. Texture even made its way onto a logo-ed Chanel clutch. If the collection is sounding too frilly, it was anchored by serious footwear. Peep-toe booties with chunky heels and bold platform soles kept the looks from going too girlie. Lagerfeld put fresh twists on the classic Chanel tweed suit, presenting them in soft colors like mint, and playing with the silhouette to create a cropped swing jacket that looks brilliant on any age.

		<description><![CDATA[If you were around in the &#8217;90s, you remember that goth influences were a huge trend for the decade. Givenchy took the &#8217;90s throwback that many designers have illustrated for the spring and summer 2011 season and kicked it up a notch with sheer panels of black that added a noir feel to the collection. Texture made the dark color that dominated the collection interesting. Sheer fabric hung from floor-length jackets and over pants with exposed zippers at the hips. Leopard peeked from lapels and hefty leather vests will add an edge to anything in your closet. There was a definite grunge thread that kept the collection cohesive. The mix of high necklines, drain pipe pants, leopard, swatches of flowing sheer fabric made it a collection that will set the tone for a glamorous take on the &#8217;90s staples that are sure to make their way into our wardrobes next season.

		<description><![CDATA[It was all about easy suiting at the Stella McCartney spring and summer 2011 fashion show at Paris fashion week. Monochrome is proving to be a strong trend for next seasons and McCartney&#8217;s light suits fit in at the office or glitzed up for evening. The tranquil palette of white and shades of blue lent an easy feel to the collection as denim sack dresses and chambray pants made their way down the catwalk. Prints in silk-like fabrics created breezy maxi dresses fit for relaxing at a resort were strong and McCartney updated the classic suit with knee length sleeveless blazers sitting atop wide leg trousers. Towards the end of the show, McCartney presented fruit prints that will be categorized as whimsical by some and hideous by others. The fun print worked on a blouse when anchored by a jet black suit, but if you plan on wearing a bevy of fruit splashed across your bottom half, we suggest you get to the gym now in order to be svelte enough to pull it off when next spring rolls around.

		<description><![CDATA[Phoebe Philo created a collection for Céline that was arguably more wearable than most designers during Paris fashion week. This was no small feat considering the complexity of some of the pieces that comprised the collection. She played with geometric shapes and the feminine form creating a silhouette that was both rigid in construction and easily adaptable for ready to wear. Perhaps that&#8217;s the genius behind Philo&#8217;s collection for Céline, example, a handwoven coat that was at one time the standard in French fashion but today is a rarity because of how intricately it was sewn together. Her collection was minimalist, modern and urban all in one.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a sleek and chic spring for Akris. Leather-look fabrics and structured chambray were prominent fabrics that added dimension to the streamlined collection that had a minimalist feel. For day there are loose sheath dresses with massive floral prints and monochromatic looks in blue, kelly green and rust orange. There were plenty of neutrals in the collection too, with nude and pale gray coming to life with fine pleating. The shoulders were on display thanks to asymmetrical necklines and off-the-shoulder silhouettes that gave a sexy, yet sophisticated edge to the collection. Overall, it&#8217;s a collection that can go almost anywhere. The structured jackets and trim walking shorts will keep you cool for day and the floral print maxi gown will keep you looking hot for evening. (Credit Image: © DPA/ZUMApress.com)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The talent of Alber Elbaz never ceases to amaze the fashion crowd. For spring and summer 2011, Elbaz showed a collection of fitted bodices and flowing skirts in muted colors like dark khaki and diluted shades of blue. There were fluid day dresses that gently skim the figure and exposed zippers on sheath and asymmetrical dresses. Elbaz focused on a defined waist and subtle, yet distinct, wrinkles to create texture that was airy and light for a warm spring day. Hardware and embellishment made their way onto evening separates and tank dresses for a well-rounded collection that stood on its this season. Elbaz implemented draping (which he does better than anyone else) on understated tones and prints with While other designers seem to create collections that can be lumped into one category, Lanvin continues to revolutionize the direction of fashion.

		<description><![CDATA[Only Rick Owens can make a sea of neutrals look so good. While Owens sticks to basic colors, his collections are always among the most artistic and interesting and that&#8217;s saying a lot when you&#8217;re presenting at Paris fashion week. For those who crave a dark spring, Owens delivered with amazing collars that stood erect, framing the models strange vertical head gear. It was a moody vibe with draped maxi dresses in black and pale gray, along with graphite and arm bands that created a tribal feel fit for a post-apocalyptic planet. Sleeves were all over the place and spanned from non-existent to just rimming the elbow. True to form, Owens implemented leather, creating sleek bodices on cocktail dresses that read posh-girl-gone-edgy. After showcasing texture in his footwear for several seasons, Owens continues the practice with leather cuffs and tiers of tulle as ankle straps on platform wedges.

		<description><![CDATA[It was a return to minimalism for the Dries Van Noten spring and summer 2011 collection. Shades of blues mixed with ecru and white created a collection that was heavy on Chinese influence. Kimono-inspired tunics and jackets were splashed with bold floral motifs. Pants were easy with high waists and wide legs that transition for nearly any occasion. Thin belts were loosely tied at the waist and the boyfriend jacket was made with broad shoulders and extra length for a throwback to the blazers of the &#8217;80s.

		<description><![CDATA[Imagine silk layers and tulle mixed with a vibrant mashing of colors, dresses and coats that give a visage of fur only much lighter and with a flow all its own. Would that interest you? If you said yes, then you&#8217;re officially a fan of Martine Sitbon&#8217;s experiment via Rue du Mail for the Spring/Summer 2011 season. This wasn&#8217;t just an arbitrary offering of light fabrics mixed with Spring colors. Sitbon seemed deliberate in putting together a collection that flowed extremely well both in pacing and in execution. Part of the Rue du Mail collection consisted of a handful of chic prints and patterns that never repeated from piece to piece. Tedium never played a role in the display and while there were strong colors like black, red and white it wasn&#8217;t overpowering because it was placed under a sheer top or dress that made it sleek and sexy. This was another uncommonly wearable collection during Paris Fashion week that is leaving me to wonder if there is a movement going on in the RTW industry in Paris.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anne Valérie Hash works as if she were a fashion scientist. Constantly experimenting with color, structure and flow, Hash&#8217;s collections have evolved going back from 2005 and continuing on today. This season, Anne Valérie Hash worked a collection on the Paris runway that seemed to echo colors from a high end makeup kit. Using a palette that consisted of pale beige hues, grays and a golden yellow, Hash managed to give Spring a feminine and entirely wearable look. Paris is normally known for its convention challenging runway collections (read: not entirely wearable). Anne Valérie Hash went an entirely different way creating jackets that had sleeved scrunched up to the elbows, exposed seams and cropped right above the waist to give a light look. Hash&#8217;s use of fabrics included going with washed leather for a slightly aged look, cotton jersey (again for wearability) and georgette. I was a latecomer fan of Anne Valérie Hash (2008 Fall collection), but after this collection, I am a true-believer.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Portugeuse designer known for her sultry designs didn&#8217;t disappoint with her spring and summer 2011 collection. Lopes knows how to give basics a sexy twist that makes everyone stop in awe. Light neutrals and a bevy of blues made up the color palette. Structured dresses boasted deep necklines and mini hemlines. Electric blue pants in a relaxed silhouette became sophisticated thanks to the high waist Lopes implemented. Off-the-shoulder tops and dresses showed just enough skin and caftan cover-ups got the sexy treatment with sheer panels and tie-dye. Additional sheer fabrics worked their way onto blouses and tunics.

		<description><![CDATA[Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi have been putting on a show for their namesake collection since 2009 though they might argue that the show was in the making long before that time. This season they showed that it might actually be the case that this collection was long in coming. A collection that hearkened back to the days of Studio 54 mixed with a progressive chic dominated the runway and was all the more impressive than their previous iteration earlier in the week. Aquilano.Rimondi&#8217;s Spring/Summer 2011 collection consisted of a large smattering of colors, prints and slits that sat uncomfortably high for the conservative but just right for the daring rocker. Milan&#8217;s fashion week has been dominated with color and flash as evidenced by Cavalli, Armani and to some extent Prada. Aquilano.Rimondi was no different and seemed more enthusiastic in their approach. Using a kaleidoscopic effect on pencil skirts and the aformentioned thigh-high slits, Aquilano.Rimondi seemed to notify Milan that they were to be taken seriously&#8230;fun.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s nothing Armani is afraid to touch when it comes to fashion and for spring and summer 2011, the king of fashion took on the modern working woman with a playful twist. Peplums and ruffles worked their way throughout the collection, adding a girlish feel to the structured fabrics. Roomy walking shorts in silk look office-ready as do pencil skirts with sheer panels peeking from beneath. While the collection has a definite sleek factor, rope detailing lent a dose of nautical, an ideal detail for warm weather. Tailored jackets fit for every occasion were dominant with cropped versions for day and thigh skimming numbers for the office or evening. Colors were neutral for daywear and modern suiting. Nude, ecru, shades of gray, slate and silver gave a fresh feel to separates and sheath dresses. For cocktail hour and evening, it was all about the stark combo of black, silver and gray in addition to soft aqua and lipstick pink. Tiers of chiffon created strapless frocks fit for the party girl in all of us and sheer fabric created a halo of femininity around body conscious dresses for an image only Mr. Armani could think up.

		<description><![CDATA[Wispy fabrics like chiffon and silk created an ethereal collection with the rock &#8216;n roll edge that Roberto Cavalli is known for. The hippie silhouette ruled the runway with models sporting long locks with middle parts and suits and maxi dresses that were blowin&#8217; in the wind with fringe detail that was modern and far from the fringe trend that reminds us of flower children or cheesy Western flicks. Corset detailing moved throughout the center and hips of dresses, and even made its way onto bell bottom pants. Prints were reminiscent of snakes and ornate applique created a stunning metallic effect over sheer fabrics. The cool toned palette of taupe, lavender, grey and dusty nude created a collection that was right on trend for spring and summer 2011. While Cavalli continues to send rock &#8216;n roll flavor down the runway, this time it was a reinvention that gets us eager for pulling off that Anita Pallenberg look once the warm weather rolls around.

		<description><![CDATA[Color with a sporty edge and a dash of sequins is what the runway churned out at the Marni spring and summer 2011 fashion show. Models took the catwalk in headgear that mimicked swim caps and enhanced the bright hues used in the collection with neon orange lips. Fabrics like Neoprene and cotton gave the collection a sporty factor that will work in a broken up fashion for the modern woman. Bright floral prints in breezy knee length and maxi dresses are perfect for vacationing and colorblocking was a prominent theme that paired neutrals and brights accompanied with contrasting black piping. Mixed diagonal stripes and prints donning ruffles at the waist or hemline (or sometimes both) lent that classic Marni whimsy to the collection. Shoes consisted of exaggerated platform soles for day and athletic-inspired embellished flat sandals for lounging. Tops and dresses boasted plastic exposed zippers at the center, channeling wetsuits worn on the high seas. Draped tunics and cropped leggings made for go-to looks that will work in the city or at the beach. (Credit Image: © DPA/ZUMApress.com)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If the fur trend hasn&#8217;t caught your eye yet, the dayglo interpretation at the Prada Spring 2011 show in Milan is sure to get your attention. Eye catching, indeed! The fur scarves in bright orange, green, blue and pink certainly looked lush and plush, which we&#8217;d expect from the fashion house. But they also looked a bit cartoonish &#8211; almost like a child&#8217;s stuffed toy. It added a playful touch to a collection that was full of bold, artistic, baroque-inspired designs. “I started from the simplicity of the men’s collection — but I wanted it to be like a musical as a symbol of boldness,” Miuccia Prada told The New York Times&#8217; Suzy Menkes.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fendi went in a different direction for the spring and summer 2011 fashion show. What&#8217;s usually a house of streamlined Italian luxury, sent out roomy dresses in fine prints like gingham and loud hues like fire engine red and what appeared to be waxed fabric with a high sheen finish. The look was easy with loose tunics and pants that hit at the ankle. Sporadic prints of small, bright florals moved throughout the collection and the occasional random micro print or diagonal stripes made their way onto skirts, dresses and a knit bolero. In between all of this were a standout structured dresses in deep periwinkle that look like it walked off the set of Mad Men. (Credit Image: © Andrea Raso/LaPresse/ZUMApress.com)]]></description>
