Spring 2011 preview: What we loved at Milan Fashion Week
EVERYONE WAS TALKING ABOUT… Optimistic bright, blasting colour; Miuccia’s “minimal baroque” collection for Prada; the fact that Milan is back on top; and, of course, where to go for dinner!
I WANT…
Jil Sander’s ball skirt, Pucci’s tan leather Greek goddess sandal, and Prada’s shocking-pink-and-black striped pencil skirt.
WHAT THEY’LL BE TALKING ABOUT IN 5 YEARS: The Jil Sander show.
MY MOMENT OF THE WEEK Catfight at Etro—another editor actually yanked my swag pillow out of my arms! Fear not: I yanked it right back.
MY FAVOURITE...INVITATIONS:
Jil Sander’s colour-blocked invite; D&G’s artful seed packets; a tutti-frutti lemon card from Moschino Cheap & Chic.
MY FAVOURITE...MEAL FOR POST-SHOW GOSSIP: Spaghetti rosa at the Charleston.
MY FAVOURITE...RESTAURANT FOR SPOTTING THE FASHION FLOCK: Da Ilia
MY FAVOURITE...SPOT FOR A DRINK: The top of the Rinascente for a jaw-dropping close-up view of the Duomo.
MY FAVORITE...PLACES TO RUN TO BETWEEN SHOWS: Chocolat for gelato; the Marni showroom; 10 Corso Como, for books and lust-provoking browsing.
MY FAVORITE..SOUNDTRACK: The Cavalleria Rusticana opera intro at every Dolce & Gabbana show.
MY FAVORITE...SET: The haunting rusted playground at Versus; the live blooming garden at D&G; the gigantic plastic foliage at Roberto Cavalli.
MY FAVORITE...MODEL: Daphne Groeneveld—with those can’t miss ’em lips—at Prada, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Jil Sander, Marni, Pucci, Fendi, Max Mara, Versace, and more!
