Milan Fashion Week S/2012: Dolce and Gabbana

One thing that intrigued me most about the collections at Milan Fashion Week, were the references to the Italian culture.  From the historical architectural images at the Frankie Morello show, to the vegetable prints at Moschino Cheap and Chic and Dolce and Gabbana.  The Dolce and Gabban show was streamed live and of course I had to tune in again!  Models graced the runway to the sound of Mambo Italiano dressed in pieces inspired by the southern Italian countryside in the 1950s...vegetable printed dresses and full skirts, weaved bags and shoes, and pasta and vegetable shaped jewellery.  My favourite part of the show was the finale.  All the models walked out in crystal covered bodysuits, creating a show stopping finale!

London Fashion Week S/2012: Burberry Prorsum and Mulberry

London Fashion Week wouldn't be the same without two amazing collections by Burberry Prorsum and Mulberry.  Burberry Prorsum streamed their show live on their website, from London!  Therefore, not only was London watching, but the rest of the world..including myself!  Designer Christopher Bailey did not disappoint, drawing my attention right from the opening purple number.  And what complemented the collection..the front row fashion elite!  From Rachel Zoe to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, to Lily Donaldson, Poppy Delevigne and Sienna Miller.  Over at the Mulberry show, front row elite included Kate Moss, Kristen Stewart and Olivia Palermo.  Guests were greeted with ice cream and animal shaped balloons, creating a fun and cheerful atmosphere, setting the scene for Mulberry's quirky collection.

New York Fashion Week S/2012: Diane Von Furstenberg

The moment I heard that the Diane Von Furstenberg show was streaming live, I knew I had to watch it, time difference or not!  This season, Diane opened her collection with an array of white looks which slowly progressed to dashes of colour..yellow, pink, blue, orange and mint green.  I loved the mixture of pastels with bold and vibrant colours.  Whilst florals dominated the collection, from jumpsuits to dresses, skirts and blouses, quite a few looks were toned down with structured blazers, pants and tailored shorts.  Diane ended the show by walking the whole runway handing out American flags to the front row.  And as for the front row?...Rachel Zoe and Rodger, Valentino and Oscar de la Renta!  Oh and thanks to the live stream for showing Rachel Zoe each time the model turned the runway!
