Milan Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2010
Who: Versace
What it made us think of: Pam Grier as one of Charlie's Angels
What we liked: shoes, coats, metallic
What we didn't: patchy pants, knits, the asymmetricality was too haphazard

Who: Marni
What it made us think of: Class eccentric circa 1965.
What we liked: beautiful use of color combinations, shoes, glasses, fat bead necklaces (easily picked up at Goodwill), classic bags in pretty colors
What we didn't: awkward shorts, boxy silhouettes with boxier pelpums, predominantly ugly shorts. Most of the prints were too graphic for my taste.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW7zKlPpJClJbfVs-gccguZYfTTbLmQtqDFUQ5a5CL66K93MQIA8HOKQp56P40yjbEIZF07GBOAA7dKTqgS3oW4E0ZZAfHvlkA-KshZeiputsiFKFeb4daRqn1Dt1EYRFmF5cweC3mW8FF/s400/marni+fall+winter+fashion+show.jpeg)
Who: Prada
What it made us think of: Sophie Loren shopping in Edinburgh.
What we liked: The 60s Italy vibe, shoes, buttons, leather, nubby knits, beehives, skirted coats. Prada, a major supporter of the size zero ideal, put some curvier models on the runway along side their usual pre-pubescent waifs.
What we didn't: I jumped for joy because I thought I saw a plus size model too. No, the dress just made a lovely size 4 model look like a lovely size 14 model. Miuccia, you either need to do some major tailoring or feed the other models.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc7YEJgLMlaJwv6sVro7uIaEZlyhGJOTFej4l5rVnXmvNpRkZHml4upfVB3Z8uDarpDgxbpX5Wj0wZ_XPwDN0yaoUWOhq2c57H-tQ0SfhYeeWohcfew_jm0c1sUJgMChzw1azy5J_lIipZ/s400/prada+fall+winter+2010+runway+coats.jpeg)
