Milan Fashion Week: D&G spring/summer 2011
Gertrude Jekyll would have thrown down her pruning shears in horror; and Alan Titchmarsh would probably be doubled up with laughter in the herbaceous border, but the Italian fashion duo of Dolce & Gabbana have staked a claim to the English country garden as inspiration for their latest collection.Gardening - and all the relevant tools and paraphernalia that goes with it - was the theme of the two designers' younger, diffusion line, called D&G, which was shown at Milan Fashion Week this afternoon (Thursday).Most keen British gardeners pull on their oldest T-shirts and trousers when they head out for a day of dead-heading and digging.
The D&G models, however, came down a catwalk planted with lavender, dahlias and roses, in the prettiest and most fashionable, but highly unlikely gear for a spot of weeding and hoeing : floral maxi-dresses, gingham bikinis, and canvas bloomers. They held bags stuffed with trowels, miniature watering cans, and D&G pink and purple gardening gloves, and wore red and green rubber "wellies" with four-inch platform soles.
The light-hearted fantasy took in hydrangea-printed shorts-suits, floral aprons over gingham bloomers, and linen dungarees with freesia-print bib-fronts. T-shirts were printed with images of "Snow White" in a garden, surrounded not by garden gnomes, but some of the Seven Dwarves.
Perfectly suited for a garden party were a host of frilled and flounced chiffon dresses, printed with a mix of violets, roses and mimosa, worn with matching, floral-print, basket-weave, platform sandals, and bandanas.
Milan Fashion Week continues today (Thursday) with the collection by Miuccia Prada, the high-priestess of status style.
L'Officiel Russian are prepared for Spring
L'Officiel Russia photo session impressed me. Maybe a little too early sun was light, but you need to get ready for spring? Well I liked the photographs, they were quick to colors, feelings and passions. Everything was in one. It was taken the best company, best names. Could be heard as Chanel, Prada, Dior names. L’Officiel Russia taps model duo Erin Axtell & Kate Somers for its October 2010 issue. The models step out of their comfort zone for the editorial ‘The Nature Of Things’. Lensed by Riccardo Vimercati, the models don a wardrobe of couture pieces that includes draped gowns and sequined outfits from the likes of Chanel, Versace, Valentino and many more.
