This time around, I'm really enjoying Milan Fashion Week. Usually, it's just too... "too much" for me (funny to say that after London Fashion Week, right?). A few highlights below.

In covering all these runway shows, I've realized that I am a big fan of layering. These five looks are pretty sloppy -- it seems like the model started with a pretty summery outfit, stepped outside into the cold, rushed back inside and threw on a few more pieces. My favorite is the last outfit: those shoes look like those pink ones Forever 21 ripped off (were those Miu Miu?), and the vest is SO cute. Lots of knits (cashmere?), scarves and socks. Bundle up!


I didn't really care about much else than the coats and bags. I think I need something with shearling. I really hate these colors though. I'm pretty sick of neutrals, and they're making me depressed.

I'd never heard of Aquilano.Rimondi before. I really liked the exaggerated shoulders and the jewelry -- the first necklace is gorgeous. It kind of reminds me of art nouveau jewelry; I'll try to post some pics if I can find some. I especially like the coat in the middle picture. I like how the shoulders have folded around to the front, like folded-up bat wings.

It's all about the "chain-mail" knits.

I really liked how the skirts looked like pieces of cloth wrapped to stay on. The third and fifth skirts remind me of those dress-shirt skirts some bloggers were doing a while ago.
