DSquared: Geek Chic , I'm LOVING it!

This is one of the sexiest collections seen on the catwalk at Milan fashion Week, it's  everything my dream wardobe would be and more.

Models dressed as tom boy school girls in round geek glasses and deep tans arrived on the catwalk. These school geeks have access to some serious cash.

Us mere mortals can get this look at a snip at Warehouse, Reiss and French Connection. Head straight to Urban Outfitters for those glasses.

Milan Fashion Week: Roberto Cavalli - Celebrities out in full Force

Roberto Cavalli was joined by several A-Listers for the Cavalli Collection show earlier today.

Taylor Swift, Heidi Klum, Rachel Bilson, Leona Lewis and Karolina Kurkova all turned out decked out in signature Cavalli styles.  Wether you love or hate Cavalli I think you'll agree that they look HOT!

Milan Fashion Week: Spring / Summer Collection 2011 showcasing Roberto Cavalli

Earlier today Cavalli – who recently referred to himself without irony as a "fashion artist" –celebrated 40 years of style, with a show which can be summed up as typically outlandish. Imagine Pocahontus dressed in high end Italian fashion.

The entire collection can be roughly broken into two looks: shredded suede waistcoats and snakeskin flares with lacing up the side; and floor-length, reptile-printed chiffon gowns with heavy suede fringing. 

Despite the fact the label has spanned four decades and is worth an estimated £160, I can't imagine this high-end glamour will sell very well outside of Italy. Aside from the shredding it's unlikely to leak onto the British high street next summer.

Milan Fashion Week: Kylie Minogue, Jada Pinkett Smith and Naomi Campbell at Dolce & Gabbana

Kylie Minogue, Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith and Naomi Campbell were celebrity guests of honor at the Dolce & Gabbana show at Milan Fashion Week today.


The stars who were all decked out in beautiful Dolce and Gabbana clothes watched the show from the front row. 


This juxtaposition of celebrity and heritage was intended to send a clear message: we may be superstar designers but are traditional Italian tailors at heart. .

Milan Fashion Week: Spring / Summer Collection 2011 showcasing Dolce and Gabbana

It'll be all white on the night was the feeling from the Dolce and Gabbana Show shown earlier tonight as models took to the catwalk in a predominately sexy white collection.


The majority of pieces were sumptuously innocent, a collection of dresses, corsetry, maxi-skirts and baby-dolls, in beautiful chiffon, stretch brocade, macramé, crochet, feather-light linen, and muslin.


If the D&G collection earlier this week undelined how key florals would be in Spring/Summer 2010 then the Dolce and Gabbana show lets us know how important innocence and lace will be, I suppose you could compare one to the flower girl and the other to being the bride, both beautiful in their own way but the bride clearly outshines everyone else.. and rightly so.

Milan Fashion Week: Dolce & Gabbana launch the Naomi Campbell T-shirt Collection

Earlier today Dolce & Gabbana celebrated 25 years of Naomi Campbell by presenting the Naomi Campbell T-Shirt collection during Fashion Week at the Dolce & Gabbana boutique in Milan, Italy. 

I can't believe that Naomi Campbell's  been in the modelling business for a quarter of a century, she still looks so young!

Her 25-year career in the fashion industry was celebrated at the Dolce & Gabbana flagship store in Milan, which toasted her success and contributions. Hopefully all talk of diamonds and mobile phone throwing was put on hold for a day.

The T-shirts are available to buy in Dolce & Gabbanna shops now

Milan Fashion Week: Spring / Summer Collection 2011 showcasing Moschino Cheap & Chic

The chic, more affordable little sister of Moschino showed it's collection yesterday. It was playful, pretty and fun with lots of bold colour contrasts, quirkey details and great separates. My initial thoughts were that I didn't get it but then when I looked at all the pieces individually it made sense.

 I love this floral dress, it will flatter all shapes, the combination of colours won't wash anyone out and the quirkey gingham sandals add a fun twist to the overall outfit, although I'm not crazy about the brown strap. Accessory-wise I think these big chunky statement pieces make what could be just another dress a stand-out.

This is my favourite look, it makes me think of bumble bees but that's to bee expected.. All these pieces are sexy as hell and would work in numerous other combinations. While yellow and black played a bit part of the collection I feel this is the best example of how well they can work together. This outfit has such a retro feel but the great accessories keep it  bang up to date. LOVE IT!

Initially this look made me  think of Chanel, sherbet and grannies but on further assessment I think it's great. The embellishments on the jacket are cute and cheeky while the overall look is playful and fun. Again the sandals add an extra element of frivilty to the look, keeping it light and breezy with a fashion forward edge.

This gingham dress makes me long for the summer. The flower embellishments, what I first thought were a bit of a foible, are in-fact a fantastic undertated addition to the dress. This is just a great outfit.

I'm torn on this look, I should love it as it ticks so many boxes for me. Colour-wise the dress is spot on, the voluminous frilled end is totally me and normally I'd bite someone's hand off to get that statement necklace but I just don't think it works. The dress doesn't seem to sit well, the necklace is the wrong colour and I just don;t think the sandals work with the rest of the outfit. Thumbs down..I do love the headband though.

Milan Fashion Week: All the Celebrities out in force.. Naomi, Miranda, Orlando and Mischa

Fashion designer Miuccia Prada entering restaurant Il Bistrot in Milan, she was joined by Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom who were spotted leaving there and entering Hotel Bulgari.. And guess who else showed up, only Naomi Campbell..

 Muccia Prada with some beautiful shoes and accessories from this weeks show.

 Orlando Bloom is one lucky man, Miranda Kerr looks smoking hot.

 No Naomi hasn't dropped something, she's avoiding the paps while on her way to partaaay

Mischa Barton and Pierre Sarkozy attend the Philipp Plein fashion show during Milan Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/ Summer 2011 at Fondazione Metropolitan in Milan, Italy. I can't decide if she looks good or not. i wouldn't of chosen this for her but that's just me..

Milan Fashion Week: Spring / Summer Collection 2011 showcasing Prada.

Bold colours and Mexican tequila Hats made appearances at the Miuccia Prada collection. Last year it was all about the Mad Men look but this year it's all about clean lines and accessible work-wear.

This is my favourite outfit from head to toe, colour blocking stripes accentuate your shape in all the right places, I could envision myself wearing this to any event.. I love it!

This dress is so pretty and full of just full Latin soul, I can practically hear the party. As with everything else on the catwalk the shoes are a little at odds with the rest of the outfit but what the hell, it's funky.

This is classic work-wear but what the hell are these shoes about? Urgh, they're awful.. I love a wedge but seriously. Talk about clumpy! So minus the shoes I think this is great.

This look is so South America, Banana prints and monkeys. I'm not a fan though.

Another, subtler ode to South America. This is definitely more wearable. I do love the stripped skirt but hate the goggles, they'll never be sexy

Prada has built a highly successful luxury brand on making the slightly wrong look right so we shall see..

Milan Fashion Week: Spring / Summer Collection 2011 showcasing Krizia.

Big, bright and bold was the order of the day at Krizia at Milan Fashion Week, where Mariuccia Mandelli went after clean lines and volume.


I've rated and slated 5 looks...

I love this romantic, sheer look.. it's as if this outfit is made entirely from dyed tissue paper but in a good way... This outfit makes me thing of young love and summer days.

I'm slating this look, the only person this dress/coat would suit is this the model in this picture. Any mere mortal who tries this on will look frumpy and washed out.. The snake print shoe boots rock but don't make up for the wind funnel dress.. No thank you!

While the look on the right may be quite Grecian and sexy the model on the left appears to actually be wearing a white bin bag, a look I've never been a off.. As everyone knows white patterned tights make everyone's legs look thin, er not so keep them away from me and everyone else who aint a size zero.

I love this look, I mean I really love this look. How great does the plum and gold work together, even though the gold/yellow is a sequinned boob tube. The thin belt and statement ring make this my dream outfit minus the weird earrings.


Overall I rate this show as a 5/10.
