Fashion Week: Women's Wear '10



An extremely ambitious topic to tangle, Fashion Week. The week every designer has been waiting for. This year hundreds of designers are featured including the latest additions such as Hermes, Miu Miu, Ceruti Interview, Louis Vuitton, Valentino, Chloe, and Alexander Mcqueen. It would take Simply hours to dissect each and every so here are two. Blumarine will be featured in this year's MIlan fashion week. They have a simple and girly aesthetic. Ruched bodices in soft greys, light pinks, and long flowy gowns are a signature style of Blumarine. References to Grecian icons were contrasted with harsh gold leather jackets. Anna Molinari continued with the soft, pale colors but found a way to refine and reinvent. Also, lots of snakeskin is featured.
Another esteemed designer featured at Fashion week is Hermes!! Hermes is a personal favorite. Recently, I returned from Rome. While i was there I had my first experience walking into an Hermes store. I was simply overwhelmed by the colors, smells. and designs of the bags, scarves, wallets, and home decor. I was even more pleased to learn that there was a clothing line. Jean Paul Gaultier showcased leather while maintaining its classic style. Through the runway the black softened up into shades of beige and taupe. This was mostly outerwear. It almost has an air of Victoriana, with tailored lapels,and long skirts. it is quite stunning. Obviously, Hermes would never disappoint.
