Milan Fashion Week Spring Summer 2011

Who: Emporio Armani
What it made us think of: Too many different things, but they were all fancy-ish, which seemed to be the theme.
What we liked: Sheer underskirts, shoes, jackets, classic purses, lux drawstring pants (they somehow work), necklaces, sheer floating ruffles
What we didn't: peek-a-boobs, bare midriffs, a lot of repetition so 79 looks probably weren't necessary, disjointed
Who: Giorgio Armani
What it made us think of: A mysterious traveling woman with dark, glamorous secrets
What we liked: darks for spring, necklaces, pants, ruffles, sheer, military, the lattice shoes
What we didn't: the really pointy shoes, the evening dresses--they didn't feel all that special

Jean Paul Gaultier's runway promoted one of my favorite fashion looks: pinstripes with a delicate, feminine print. He had high-waisted pants, suspenders, lingerie elements, lace, sheer fabrics, softly geometric designs, and monochrome dominated, much to my glee. His menswear-inspired looks are a testament to how graceful the style can be. Christian Lacroix also paid homage to menswear with pieces inspired by matadors and soldiers. The complete collection wasn't cohesive, but even the breaks from theme were lovely. It's hard to argue with so many colors, ruffles and embroidery. Plus, I want that polka dot coat!
