  • Call Beyonce!

    Call Beyonce!

    Shoes are fabulous items. Some creations should be worn on the upper part of the body instead of the lower. During Milan Fashion Week, Aquazzura presented its Fall 2019 collection that gives the word “bling” a new meaning. My first thought, call Beyonce. Queen B needs to wear these on stage. Creative Director and Founder…

  • Luxe not Overdone

    Valextra, the Italian handbag maker produces pieces based on luxury not overstated flash.  Each bag makes a statement.   I have been a fan of the brand for many seasons.  The brand is a favourite of Oprah Winfrey.  Checkout the video from Milan Fashion Week.

  • Love the Unexpected

    Love the Unexpected

    During Milan Fashion Week I had a very pleasant surprise. I did not plan on attending this presentation. A friend of mine had to talk me into it. Keep in mind on top of the 100 or so appointments I had on this day adding another was not something I wanted to do. I decided…

The shoemakers also had a nice Spring collection with outstanding woven technics.  From Milan  Additionally, the luxury label an established luxury footwear brand goes decorative with the Brera Cult Project Collection.

  • Enchanted Luxury

    Sponsored by Canon Germany  Luxury brand Serapian invited me to their presentation during Milan Fashion Week. The setting impressed me.  I wondered if a certain Hollywood actress would come down the marble stair case.   A quick look at the Serapian collection. These are classic pieces that will be in style for a long time. 

  • Casual Luca L.

    During Milan Fashion Week Men I popped over to Luca Larenza presentation. Other than being a nice guy, the menswear designer leans toward the casual side of mens fashion. The collection is leisure wear with retro looks. I admit this was not my favourite from him. I liked his winter looks more. If a man is looking to relax without effort. These pieces are for him.

  • Jacket Cozy

    From Milan Fashion Week Sept 2018.  Luxury outerwear Herno presented its new womenswear collection.   I like color on a person, HA! I found the use of a wide palette refreshing.  Stand out in elegant way.  Two looks from Herno  Sponsored by Canon Deutschland 

  • Byblos Northern Lights

    Forgive the crazy review. When I arrived in Milan on Wednesday morning of Fashion Week the schedule went off the rails quickly. The Byblos winter 2019 was suppose to be the 3rdshow of the day for me. A tad wind blown when I arrived to the location by press shuttle, I knew the brand but had no…

  • Fashion Theatre from Marras

    Fashion Theatre from Marras

    The Antonio Marras Show at Milan Fashion Week combined a catwalk with live performance theatre. I was not sure what I was suppose to watch, the models, the singers, the stage shows.  The unique setting in an antique space made the event all the more theatrical.  The collection mixed  dark romanticism with a 1930’s feel…

  • Milan Impressions

    Going with the flow. Milan Fashion Week is over. I love the Italian city with all of its creative instincts. Designers are always enthusiastic ready to speak about their latest works.  I had detailed collection tours.  Fall 2019 will be about the bling.  At least that is the word from ateliers in Italy.  In other…
