Bold Colour

Milan is a hub of fashion activity and it should stay that way. Untainted, fashion forward and fresh.
So Muicca Prada's put her stamp all over it with her new collection. It won't be to everyone's liking, and the shapes aren't exactly wearable in an everyday sense with high and flat necklines, raglan sleeves and mid-drift lengths. I'm only hoping with these colours that we'll soon again see the pretty gelato ballet flats from 2006. Fingers crossed.
They also got the colour bug over at Gucci, where they opened the show with a few options, all twisted in silk georgette for maximum impact before fading into another trend we're experience with sandy colours. A collection to appeal to the masses for a nice Gucci change.
Adoring the Fendi collection for its broad appeal and summery feel, there's no denying this is the time in fashion where designers aren't taking too many risks as they build their retail figures back to brimming.
Versace often goes hand in hand with sexy, body skimming styles and this collection didn't disappoint. Surprising black and white, there was definitely a conservative vibe that's undeniably a business strategy as opposed to the creative designs we've seen in previous collections.
The emergence of Etro as a new global player on people's radars looks set to take us to a Moschino/Missoniesque summer vacation. It's never before experienced so much public exposure as the last year, and only time will tell if it's providing a greater point of difference from an already over saturated market.
Sum. Summed up.
