Milan AW10 | Day One






Fendi's perfect alliteration for fun and the 50's was captured momentously in this shadow of black, navy, mustard, pistacio and cream collection. Karl Lagerfeld sent out an incredibly wearable collection and a bevy of velvet and wool to make dressing for winter effortless.
The design approach at Prada also conjures images of the 50's with full skirts and knee high socks with pumps. Mad Men's wives would be proud to call this all their own. I'm loving the fact that Doutzen Kroes made an appearance on the Prada catwalk, and a Victoria's Angels theme followed with Australia's own Miranda Kerr taking a turn. It was a surprise to see absent fellow Australian Catherine McNeil, she's been M.I.A all season.
D&G, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana's diffusion line to their namesake label still kept the snow bunny expedition alive. Body suits are still on trend for autumn winter, of the knit variety. And although there may have been snow flakes into the pattern, there wasn't a daggy Christmas thought in sight. There was just enough chiffon and tailored jackets to keep this collection from crossing to the naff side, but Chewbacca called and he wants his feet back. That's all I'll say.
