Done and Undone and VERY Done:







Last month, Milan Fashion Week for Fall/Winter 2013/2014 happened. I posted the Gucci Fall/Winter 2013/2014 show HERE back at the end of February and so here are some more Milan Highlights:

Let's begin with two contrasting collections--Prada and Dolce & Gabbana. One was "Undone Bag Lady Chic" and the other, Catholic Diva Goes Baroque! Care to take a guess who did what??



Prada Fall/Winter 2013/2014:



The Look: Feminine Bag Lady Chic has been Miuccia Prada's heroine for ages and nothing changed here. She described the look for Fall 2013 as beening "Done and Undone". It was. The clothes--as styled had a look of :"just thrown on" as she had barely spent time even fussing with her hair or makeup before walking out of her Milan pied-de-terre. In terms of silhouettes, one that stood out involved skirts with a side panel that dipped
asymmetrically at the hem. Lots of luxe tweeds, furs and embellishment of sequins and crystals were present as well.

Dolce & Gabbana Fall/Winter 2013/2014:



The Look: Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana are obsessed with Icon Worship, the Catholic Church, Baroque-isms and all out embellishments. They used the golden mosaics of Sicily's Cathedral of Monreale as their starting point for this Fall 2013 collection. Every look seemed like "Fashion Priestesses" transporting themselves from a Church wall's mosaics and onto the runway. Shining golds, deep blood reds, lots of sequins, and jeweled details throughout. Lace and heavy embroideries as well. Now, this Fashion Church is one I'd like to worship!

Anne Hathaway in Custom Prada: Yawn. Oh, sorry I spoke with my "Nick Loud Voice". This light pink Duchesse satin gown was a bore to me. Honestly., I expected more. I expected Fierce and Fabulous Valentino, or something!To me, this was a #Fail. It had no real interest as a gown and the darts at the bust fit oddly. This looked like something a second-year Fashion School student can make. Just sayin'...
