Dsquared2, Burberry Prorsum, Aquilano.Rimondi, Alessandro Dell'Acqua, Albino

This time around, I'm really enjoying Milan Fashion Week. Usually, it's just too... "too much" for me (funny to say that after London Fashion Week, right?). A few highlights below.

In covering all these runway shows, I've realized that I am a big fan of layering. These five looks are pretty sloppy -- it seems like the model started with a pretty summery outfit, stepped outside into the cold, rushed back inside and threw on a few more pieces. My favorite is the last outfit: those shoes look like those pink ones Forever 21 ripped off (were those Miu Miu?), and the vest is SO cute. Lots of knits (cashmere?), scarves and socks. Bundle up!


I didn't really care about much else than the coats and bags. I think I need something with shearling. I really hate these colors though. I'm pretty sick of neutrals, and they're making me depressed.

I'd never heard of Aquilano.Rimondi before. I really liked the exaggerated shoulders and the jewelry -- the first necklace is gorgeous. It kind of reminds me of art nouveau jewelry; I'll try to post some pics if I can find some. I especially like the coat in the middle picture. I like how the shoulders have folded around to the front, like folded-up bat wings.

It's all about the "chain-mail" knits.

I really liked how the skirts looked like pieces of cloth wrapped to stay on. The third and fifth skirts remind me of those dress-shirt skirts some bloggers were doing a while ago.
