Armani Privé fall 2010

While I appreciated Dior Haute Couture and totally fell in love with Givenchy collection, Armani Privé didn't excite me that much. I mean, I know this is Armani, it's supposed to be impeccably elegant, but maybe this collection was just a little too "prissy lady" style, too classical, too amber-coloured for my taste.

But it's also true that I loved some of the looks, so here are my favorites:

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?

Lady Gaga at Met

Everyone has noticed that all the celebs was at Costume Institute Gala except for Lady Gaga. Where was she?
Well, Gaga actually was at the Met as a guest of Miuccia Prada and she wasn't wearing one of her unusual outfit, strangely. We have just one photo of her sitting next to Miuccia with a Prada tuxedo on.

Tutti hanno notato che ogni celebrità era al Costume Institute Gala tranne Lady Gaga. Dov'era la cantante?
Beh, Gaga in realtà era al Met da ospite di Miuccia Prada e, stranamente, non indossava une dei suoi insoliti outfit. Abbiamo a disposizione una sola foto di lei, seduta accanto a Miuccia, con un tuxedo firmato Prada.

Later, on the stage she performed wearing a Armani privè catsuit.

Dopo, si è esibita sul palco con una catsuit di Armani privè.

Looks like she didn't want to get herself noticed... Or was it just another way to make people talk more about her?

Sembra che non volesse farsi notare... O era solo un altro modo per far parlare la gente di lei ancora di più?
