ANDROGYNY

Are we in the new era of FASHION?

Androgyny is around us, and fashion never was so unisex and open mind like right now

Men wear clothes with female style, women wear boyfriend or maxi t-shirts

Heels are day by day included in some men closet and women look stunning with male outfits

Some stylists working out with the androgyny look and only a question..

MILANO IS FOR MEN

HELLO HELLO!!! How are you?? Here I am for showing you everything that I can about Milan and Paris Fashion Week. I have to be honest and say you that it's impossible to me show you everything but I will try to highlight what I like more from some of the shows I attended and also tell you a bit my favorite things.

I wanna start with one of my favorite shows in Milan and also with a fabulous team.

FRANKIE MORELLO always makes fashion for funny people, full of energy and always with different point of view each season.

The show was a recreation like a road with bikes where 2 singers made the perfect environment for starting the show.

The colors, accessories and details in all the garments and shoes cuts were something spectacular. Everything is wearable and the shapes are perfect for daily life and also for another special date. Shoes are maybe, my favorite piece in an outfit. I don't know why, but it is so haha.

Look at that bike pants! They are very cool and works perfectly with the outfit. I know it is a bit strange but the innovation is what I like more over all! Also the maxi bags are something that I NEED

When the show finished, the Frankie Morello team asked to me and another bloggers our 3 must have in the collection and for me were the sandals, fluor pants and maxi bags!

CLICK HERE and discover in the Frankie Morello blog more about the MUST HAVE

To finish with Frankie Morello, look at the video of the carrousel. It is a bit bright but I think you can taste good lot of things.

Frankie Morello show s/s 2012 from David Martin on Vimeo.

Next show that I want to show you is that one what John Varvatos made in a church near Corso Italia full of art and mystery with all the sculptures.

The show and collection was the opposite than Frankie Morello and the way too. Clothes and details had a vision that remind me the unisex view and the sand colors won the match to the others.

Anyway, the king color was white, in blazers, pants, shoes, shirts... and the carrousel was like if heaven come to us in the church haha

I really like Corso Venezia in Milano and Roberto Cavalli chosen that place for present his collection in a fabulous palace where his peculiar suits shone better than elsewhere.

The new collection of Cavalli remind me in the pants like 70's and also the colors and fabrics are very vintage. I think is cool and the people who loves this style have to be happy because Cavalli has created a cool line full of winks and details.

I really like all the blazers and the bows are gorgeous! I have to highlight the spanish models in the show! Antonio Navas, my friend Javier de Miguel and Jon Kortajarena were there! I liked that very much!

Then, we went to Neil Barrett show! There I met with Camilla, the fabulous press manager of Neil Barrett and gave us a fabulous seats for the show.

The prints of Neil Barrett are always something unique and the androgyny style make me feel another sense and transport you to Paris, because Milan and Paris are very very very different.

Jackets and pants with mini cubes in B&W and shoes in leather with awesome details and shape in ankles are my favorite pieces in the collection.

Also, if you like leather jackets, these ones have to be in your closet RIGHT NOW! Look at the mixed of fabrics, ARE HOT!

Next day was full of amazing shows but in the first part of Milano, I wanna speak about the Trussardi show because it was very different and in the store near Duomo for the century anniversary of the brand.

The story was a show where models entered into the store trough the back entrance when a car left them with the luggage by Trussardi and wearing fabulous garments.

The new collection is glamour and style for all ages and vision. The cut in all the suits and the innovation in t-shirts like the prints and colors are something that represent the 100 years of the brand.

The models were also a representation of that with Mark Vanderloo and the new generation with very young models.

To finish one of my favorite shows, teams, brand and designer. Emporio Armani always have something special and the Teatro Armani is spectacular and each time i go there I have the same feeling...ADMIRATION.

I have to say sorry, but picture are not very good, for that I will show you a couple of them and a video!

You can't see very good the shoes, but they are the best shoes I've seen before. The white sole, materials and colors are stunning and also weight nothing! Something to highlight are the leather jackets for summer and shirts with heavy fabrics. The colors are in the Armani line with blue tones and a very very beautiful grey tone. Do you like Armani? I LOVE ARMANI!

What do you think about this shows? Which one is your favorite and why?

Hope you enjoy with the first part of Milan and in few days I will show you the 2nd part full of awesome shows like Prada, Ferragamo..

I'm sorry again if I can't show you everything but, trust in my.. IS IMPOSSIBLE! haha

THANKS! THANKS! and let me know what do you think!

RENEWS THE CLOSET

Resort collections are always special because they give us a bit of that what we are going to discover next season. I think they are essential for our closet and among all of them I choose the Givenchy Resort collection, because I think is SPECTACULAR!

Ricardo Tisci is a genius in my opinion, and Givenchy today, is one of those BIG BIG brands thanks to Mr.Tisci and his awesome vision.

Look at those skirts!!! I really like the prints and shape. All the details are gorgeous and the colors I think are in a perfect combinations with the fabrics and Givenchy symbology.

Black and white always, are those colors which create another kind of vision and can change all the idea in the collection. In the Givenchy resort collection, white show us the glamour in the line, and make me feel exited and impatience for watching the whole line!

Another designer who plays with prints and colors like Givenchy is Stella McCartney and like in the last collection, the accessories for next season are full of color, details on handles and fabrics like leather and gold.

The size of bags are XL and I think they are perfect and for a daily life. Also shoes are with beautiful colors!

Look at the details on heels like metal and also the Hawaiian wink on some prints. I love Hawaii and I think it looks stunning, what about you?

Speaking about Bags, here are some designed by one of the most important fashion houses around the world. Everything is always beautiful and chic and this blue bag, I think is specially beautiful

Look at the tone of that blue and the Y by YSL like the closure in gold! I think is fabulous! DO you like the bag? Also you can find this model in different colors and fabrics. My favorite is that one in blue :)

I really specially like a brand which is very special for me. The creative, innovation and the experimentation with new fabrics and ideas have created another PRADA. In my opinion it's impossible make better the things in PRADA and also the new campaign look stunning!

Look at the sweater and the degrade of colors. Not is very easy to look that but, I'm in love!

What I really need from PRADA are those shoes for this summer with different soles in different Fabrics. I think Tobey is good for the Prada image and the location looks spectacular. What do you think about PRADA?

PRADA is from Italy, and there is where RODARTE presented in Pitti , Florence, a very very beautiful selection of dresses perfect for you! I'm impacted with Rodarte, the couple of designers are fabulous and they create a magic dream in all the dresses!

What I highlight on these dresses are the detail of feathers and how amazing they are! Also the colors and different shapes who create a beautiful silhouette for all the women who wear these creations! Look at the locations and the presentation of that white dress. STUNNING!! Do you want one of them in your closet really?

What I think anyone who shop in Barney want to miss the opportunity to buy something from the collaboration of Rag Bone for Barney's.

I Think Rag Bone make a very chic garments and the jackets are like a dream!

If you live in NY, please.. HURRY UP! and take something :D The line for women is full of winks about male fashion but very glamorous!! I think shorts for women are very sexy's and those ones by Rag Bone are perfect!

Rag Bone for Barneys is a bit Unisex and these sunnies I think are perfect for women and men. I really want one of them! THEY ARE A MUST HAVE FOR NEXT F/W!!!

The second one maybe is my favorite but WHAT A SUNNIES!! Designed by Thom Browne these sunnies can create another outfit for success!

Which do you like more?

A must have for this summer are these swimwear by TOPMAN. I can't imagine better print that these ones! I can't choose for that I want both for me!!

The kitties print is very very funny don't you? Maybe first one is better for me, but which do you prefer for your boys? Let me know!!

To finish, I want to show you another resort collection that I think is the opposite of Givenchy but full of news and innovation in the last collections.

Black & White highlight over all the rest of colors and you can taste a wink of colors like green, blue os yellows in prints and details on skirts, dresses..

Versace wanna show you the most sexy women and on waist, you can see details like transparencies or different textures. I REALLY REALLY LIKE IT and the gold details in the accessories are perfect for the line of this collection!

What do you think?? Do you like Versace or your style is more Givenchy?

I will arrive to Switzerland in 2 days, and just I arrive I will share with you everything from Fashion Weeks!! These days are crazy days full of things and amazing experiences!! I'm impatience to share all with you!

THANKS THANKS!!
