Salvatore Ferragamo Fall 2011: Working Girl

Posted: 28 Feb 2011 05:00 AM PST

MILAN–As much as former Fashionista editor Britt Aboutaleb wants the velvet trend to die, I want the pinstripe trend to succeed.

Apparently, so does Salvatore Ferragamo designer Massimiliano Giornetti. Nearly half the looks in yesterday’s collection were pinstripe, and when they weren’t, we saw dots, houndstooth, and check.

It was all very ’80s, and for a girl like me who loves power suiting, it was good. From the bow collars to the slicked back hair, it’s obvious that Giornetti’s woman is sentimental for Armani and could do without the current minimalist trend.

Versus Fall 2011: Kane Is More Than Able

Posted: 28 Feb 2011 04:00 AM PST

MILAN–Young designers often find it difficult to balance two separate collections. Unlike the Karl Lagerfelds of the world, these emerging talents–Marios Schwab, Richard Nicoll, Jason Wu come to mind–don’t typically have massive teams to help them complete their workload. Sometimes, their talent allows them to overcome the challenge. Sometimes, it doesn’t.

For Christopher Kane, who designs both his namesake collection and Versace’s Versus, this hasn’t been a problem.

Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2011: Bright Star

Posted: 27 Feb 2011 01:04 PM PST

MILAN–I couldn’t help humming Boy George’s “Karma Chameleon” as I walked out of the Dolce & Gabbana show this afternoon. Playing up the late ’80s vibe they put out at the D&G show, Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce created a collection of old school contrasts: skinny girls (Arizona Muse, Abbey Lee) dressed up like boys in tuxedos and brogues; curvy girls (Isabeli Fontana, Candice Swanepoel) dressed up like starlets, literally covered in stars. It was fun, pretty, and, most of all, wearable beneath the bells and whistles.

Marni Fall 2011: She’s a Lady

Posted: 27 Feb 2011 11:12 AM PST

MILAN–Consuelo Castiglioni designs wearable clothes for a woman who likes things a bit off kilter. If there’s a plaid, it’s hand-drawn. Earrings? Oversize buttons. Fur? Pink and green, please.

This season, Castiglioni brought quite a ladylike element to her wares, using fur gloves, peter pan collars, and a few of those molded, mid-century couture shapes that we’ve seen so often this season. Her shoes–mostly platform Mary Janes–looked fresh yet familiar. And that’s what makes Marni so special. Castiglioni’s pieces are so retro yet so quirky that they don’t really ever date.
