Milan 's fabulous fashion and faux pas!

Caio! As the Italian fashion week comes to a close, we pick out the preferred looks and the fashion faux pas...
At CarrieMe, we're all about fashion and function so we liked Christopher Kane's designs for Versus. (Versace's label aimed at the younger audience) Spring Summer 2013. Very useful pinafore dresses, allowing the wearer to re-arrange studs and flaps to create handy little pockets! Kane, we like your thinking... And those kitsch, playful prints.

Volume for Autumn Winter 2013/14! Oversized statement coats were ubiquitous in both women's and men's wear. Many designers supported this trend, such as Richard Nicoll, Maxmara and Trussardi. Although maybe a little OTT was the huge fuzzy bear look at MaxMara!

If the baggy boyfriend cut isn't your style check out Dolce and Gabbana's princess themed collection where fitted ladylike coats were a staple. It looks like D&G at Milan used Britain for inspiration, the theme being very Royal.

Tweed, raffia emboidery, and heavily embellished fabrics complete this luxurious collection. Another fabric choice from D&G, was the use of crushed organza on high waist skirts. Nice taste we reckon! CarrieMe are getting ready to launch our Spring/Summer 2013 collection which features organza flower bag hooks.

Loved the mosaic prints adorned with red and gold jewels. Everyone needs a bit of sparkle at Winter! Make-up for this collection was almost gothic with pale faces and red stained lips.

A wearable trend at Milan was the suit, which appears to be making a comeback. With the recession at the moment people want to look and feel sharp. With the great selection of suits here, there will be one to suit every shape!

With the cold weather still persistent here in Britain, we're thinking about starting to wear these Winter 2013/14 trends early! When will you start to brave the new Spring/Summer trends?

MAKE SOME BIG JUMPS WITH PRINTS


Charlotte Free by Elena Rendina for Wonderland November/December 2011

Prints are a great way to introduce excitement and are bang on trend for 2012. 

Whether you are pale or dark, bright prints can make a great contrast to your skin tone and you can any colour from your wardrobe to improve your self-esteem and confidence. 
Photographs by Steven Meisel for Vogue Italia December 2007
I came across these photographs shot by Steven Meisel for the December 2007 of Vogue Italia and I was intrigued by the use of collaged patterns and washed out colours. I fell in love with their tattoos and how it made the models look like gothic Geishas.  I wonder if this inspired D&G?

This season's D&G is a collection of mismatch patterns, creating a unique strong style and I love these 2 looks from Marni and Miu Miu which are great together.
