    Sequins, ruffles, jewel toned chiffon… Could I be anywhere but an Alberta Ferretti show? But wait! There is a distinctly minimal look that’s new for the reigning queen of chiffon as well as a bit of a mod ‘60s vibe I am seeing in bright trim little coats, simple shifts and bellbottoms. What’s this? Has Ferretti set down her Bedazzler once and for all? Never!

    Talk about hitting the ground running. I’ve been in Milan for only a few hours and have already made une petite purchase at Lanvin (the store opened today just in time for my arrival!) perused Prada, Miu Miu and Marni (my holy trinity) and am now surreal-y sipping champers waiting for Gucci to start! Tough job but someone’s gotta do it. I’m in hyper mode and beyond thankful that the airplane gods granted me 3 seats across and I actually for the very-first-time ever slept on the flight over. The usual suspects are here, the sun is shining brilliantly (an anomaly for this time of year in Milan) so… let the games begin!
