Milan Fashion Week.

Milan Fashion Week bought big hats, prints and tons of fur, here are my top five favorites of the week.
Roberto Cavalli didn't disappoint with his perfect interpretation of Boho-Rock. Mariacarla opened the show in a gold blazer with strong shoulders, over gold lace, with silks and feathers flapping in motion of her hair. There was fur and feather combo coats, red carpet ready dresses and leather biker jackets over floor length gowns. A trend I never get tired of seeing when he does it because he does the pairing so well.
 Frida Gianni showed a collection  different from spring,gone were the harem pants, jumpsuits and biker jackets. There was fur and patent leather in full effect with blazers and culottes and the occasional fedora with an oversized brim and feather. The fur pieces were in these great colours, grays, whites and blues. The burnt orange dress and sheer black dress with the red roses on Natasha came so close to lasts season's 70's trend. The trend wasn't the "ah ha" of the show, but the clothes were a perfect example of a luxury brand, prime fabrics, wearable and the season's must have hats.
Rosella Jardini showed a collection filled with masculine and feminine edge. The officer's hats paired with the women's oversized sunnies with perfectly tailored coats and suits, fit to a feminine silhouette. There were still that signature Moschino aesthetic, the gold teddy bears, velvet bows, pink cummerbund and rose print. In some looks Jadini forgot all about the masculine like that rose printed dress on Coco Rocha. It was a good collection and good to see the cool suit trend is going forward into fall.
Massimiliano Giornetti's collection for Salvatore Ferragamo was a perfect fit for any girl that loves a strong suit. The collection reminded me of an 80's business woman who closed deals by day and at night  is completely wasted throwing up in someone's purse eloquently. In black,white, pinstripe and houndstooth the looks just kept outdoing themselves then that jeweled robe dress on Jac came out and just shut it down. The sexy boardroom vixen was a winner here.
Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana returned to one of their favorite trends: masculine meets feminine. The first look, a double breasted black suit cropped right below the knee, porkpie hat and oxfords on Arizona was acessorized with sideburns. The boxy waistcoats and blazers were in sequins or detailed with stars. They then took the stars a bit further with silk sheer floor length dresses paired with oxfords. After each masculine look there was a feminine to contrast it, but they didn't leave behind their signature sex appeal dresses like the one on Isabeli with a modern update. to close the show the masculine girls marched out like an army in white collard shirts and patent leather suspenders, while the other girls were in different variations of the black and white star print.-your Dealer
