milan fashion week: moschino is my jam

Super bright colours and graphic black and white prints, all with a '60s mod sensibility make the Moschino fall/winter 2012 collection one of my favourites of the season.

milan fashion week: goodbye raf simons

This was Raf Simon's last collection for Jil Sander (Jil is coming back! OMG!), and he really outdid himself. The colour story runs the gamut from pastels (a unique choice for a fall collection) to more traditional navy, black and red, all with Jil Sander's signature basic cuts and exquisite fit. It's being rumoured that Mr. Simons will be taking over at either Dior or YSL. Personally I think YSL would be a better fit for him, since it's more minimalist than Dior, although it would also be nice to see what he would bring to Dior as well, and if he would maybe go outside his comfort zone more there. Time will tell who has snapped him up though, and I am looking forward to seeing what Jil Sander has to offer now that she is coming back to helm her own label again.

milan fashion week: prada love

Love the prints, of course. I think Miuccia really outdid herself this year though, and I think there's a lot more pants in this collection than in the last few I can recall. I especially covet that bad though. I'm not sure how I feel about the shoes though. I've been hearing that flat, menswear-inspired shoes have been all over the Milan runways this season. Of course, as someone who can't really wear crazy heels anymore, of course I don't lament this trend. The longer I look at them, the more I like them, I can say that. And they do look super comfortable. And they are definitely more attractive than those dang Creepers.
