Menswear S/S 2011 - Part 2: Milan fashion week

I have really too little time to blog these days, because I'm going on a 15 day trip to London in July and now I have already to organize, renew my documents, deposit money on my prepaid card, buy things I need and much more stuff like that... Anyhow, I don't wanna bore you with my problems, I just want you to know that I'll try to do my best, but, at least this week, I can't be very "active" on my blog.
Having said that, let's move on menswear again. The fashion shows and parties marathon at Milan fashion week has just gone and now the attention is completely heading for Paris. I followed the past fashion shows religiously via Internet, watching some of them live in streaming or reading The Fashionisto all the time to keep up on the others.
I chose my favourite looks from the catwalks, so here are the highlights:

Foulards for (in order) Giorgio Armani, Iceberg and Salvatore Ferragamo

Vertical stripes at Dolce & Gabbana, Iceberg (with polka dots) and Salvatore Ferragamo

Prints from Giorgio Armani, Alexander McQueen (designed by Sarah Burton), and Versace

The new jeggings by Versace (which presented a very bad boy on the catwalks), Emporio Armani, Burberry Prorsum and Frankie Morello

Short tops at Calvin Klein and Frankie Morello

Fluo colors like Jil Sander for Dsquared² and Giorgio Armani (the last one)

Dark atmosphere at Burberry Prorsum, Emporio Armani (with clear recalls to the collaboration with Lady Gaga for Alejandro) and Versace

I also loved the traditional Sicilian caps (coppolas) shown by Dolce & Gabbana

And finally the Prada collection, which has been so controversial that I couldn't compare it with any others.

And that's all. What do you think?

Apre lo store Marc Jacobs a Milano

Se come me siete appassionate fan di Marc Jacobs e aspettavate con bramosia l'apertura del suo primo monomarca in Italia, direi che ho proprio una stupenda notizia da darvi! Ebbene sì, qualche giorno fa ha finalmente aperto il negozio della linea Marc by Marc Jacobs, con annesso un lounge bar aperto dalle 7 e mezzo del mattino alle 2 di notte.
Lo store, di 300 mq, si trova in Piazza del Carmine 6, nel quartiere di Brera, location decisamente azzeccata.
Inutile dire, dunque, che andarci è d'obbligo anche per chi, come me, non abita a Milano o nei pressi. Appena mi troverò da quelle parti, ci farò sicuramente un salto, considerando anche che nel negozio si possono comprare, oltre a capi piuttosto costosi, pezzi molto più economici.
