The Sex and the City 2 extended trailer is out, and the clothes have never looked better. Well done Patricia Field, well done! [Grazia UK] Malcolm McLaren, the manager of the Sex Pistols and also known as the “godfather of punk,” passed away yesterday after battling cancer. The father to Vivienne Westwood’s son Joe Corré […]

We can’t see anything about this streeter’s outfit besides her coat and her shoes, but it just goes to show what an impact great pieces can have. Witness her ombré greatcoat with extra-long sleeves before you contemplate her shoes. They are awesome.

Paris street style begins tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Toughening up a dainty dress with a biker or military jacket is nothing new, but after seasons of studs, heavy zips and leathers, it’s nice to see some levity in the mix.

Favorite  collections: Prada, Dolce & Gabbana and Emilio Pucci

Favorite soundtrack: Moulin Rouge at Dolce & Gabbana

Favorite  pre-show snack: Crumbled parmigiano-reggiano and white wine at Dolce & Gabbana

Dolce & Gabbana scored with the most powerfully emotional show of the week. The entire audience was completely verklempt and near tears–from the swell of the soundtrack (Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman’s romantic duet in Moulin Rouge) to the beautifully-shot black and white slo-mo  film that paid homage to the craftsmanship of the atelier. The […]

As Susie Sheffman said earlier, the Marni fans are always out in full force during Milan Fashion Week. Consuelo Castiglioni’s Fall 2009 collection was one our favourites so we’re happy to have spotted some of it in the wild!

Okay, while there’s a big kerfuffle going on at Roberto Cavalli (I ‘m hearing it’s over Lindsay Lohan, and Courtney Love) let me take a minute and think way back to see if I can possibly absorb all I’ve seen today and yesterday. Since I last blogged, I’ve been to showrooms, presentations and shows too numerous to list. Here  are some highlights:

Sunday morning at 9 is always one of the best fashion shows in town–on and off the runway. Marni-a-holics dress in all their kooky layers and come out to pray at the church of Consuelo Castiglioni! This season’s show didn’t disappoint the faithful, but had a much more structured and architectural feeling than past seasons. […]

This streeter takes what could have been a sugary sweet ensemble (pink on pink on pink with ruffles and gingham?) and tones it down with leopard and leather.

Waiting  at Etro, lulled by the comfy Etro  print seat cushions, classical music and the fact that I slept only one hour last night. (That evil 2nd night jet lag gets me every time.) It’s shoe showroom day in Milan, which means I’m gonna fly by the seat of my leather leggings to as many showrooms as possible, squeezed in between a gazillion shows.

Packed about 3 days worth of shows and re-sees into today so forgive me if I’m a bit loopy! One thing’s for sure– jet lag is a luxury I can’t afford to indulge in, but my bed is calling me so here are just  a few morsels before I call it a day:

Cranky buyers and editors are  complaining bitterly  about the (even) shorter Milan schedule–its actually nuts, even for a fashion crazed high-energy type-A like me!

From early-morning dominatrixes at Dsquared, all the way through to futuristic tartans at  Jil Sander tonight,  it was run run run. I think next season I’ll need a chopper.

We love a suit in an unexpected colour. (Actually, we just love a suit in general.) The pleated, cropped pant adds a further twist to this Lovely’s look. And that suede bag? Gimme!
