[Read More]Milan fashion week gets fruity
Posted by Lucky on Sep 30, 2010
When fashion turns its spotlight on one particular look, an opposing one inevitably gets left in the dark. Most will know the feeling: if skirts are your thing and yet the shops are filled with rails of trousers, often there is little else to do but wait for fashion to swing back towards your comfort [...]

It’s official: The 70s trend seen during New York Fashion Week has crossed the pond and landed at London Fashion Week. Topshop Unique’s runway presentation spring 2011 featured afros, bell bottoms, fringe and platform heels.

Milan fashion week: the front-row gossip
Posted by Lucky on Sep 29, 2010
The fashion industry is not built for rain. After the Versace show the heavens opened and created havoc. Suede stilettos and gutter-deep rivers of rain are an unhappy mix. Bottega Veneta had the chicest solution. The uber-luxe label provided a handsome male umbrella escort for show attendees.
• Donatella Versace is still a party girl at [...]
Milan Fashion Week highlights: Jil Sander
Posted by Lucky on Sep 29, 2010
Germany-based fashion label Jil Sander may not be famous for frivolity or jolliness in their designs, being especially famous for extreme minimalism and extreme tailoring, but they showed everybody in Milan that they’re ready to have a bit off fun next S/S, too.
It was a fun, modern show, as the models stomped down the catwalk [...]
Milan Fashion Week: Jil Sander by Raf Simons spring/summer 2011

New Zealand Fashion Week: The verdict
Posted by Lucky on Sep 29, 2010
Fashion Week’s 10th showing seemed curiously predictable, writes Carolyn Enting.
I’m filing a missing-word report because somewhere between Monday and Friday last week, New Zealand Fashion Week lost the word “fabulous”.
It did make brief appearances at some of the off-site shows, but despite the fact the event was supposed to be a celebration of 10 years, [...]
