3rd. World Fashion Geek: Milan Fashion Week highlights. Days 1 & 2

Ok. There's something about Milano that doesn't take me to love most of the shows completely. I don't know why, but I must say that this time I've seen every single show, and seen lots of great design going on. Quite happy for that. Actually, my all FW's favorite show of this season has happened in Milano so far, from a house I've never followed, which is Gucci. I'm absolutely impressed, but I already wrote about it, so I'd better stop with that for now.

Now my highlights from the Milano shows I've seen so far on these two days:

I must start with Jeremy Scott from Moschino. I'm impressed he's getting closer and closer to Franco Moschino's DNA. This time he went for hip-hop in a not-so-obvious way. You could clearly see the reference in the styling, but pieces themselves were versatile enough to figure in different settings.
I particularly loved three element in what Jeremy Scott presented today: the fitting was superb, the quilted coats and jackets, and the denim treatment (that patchwork in jeans and jackets was AMAZING). Not a fan of everything that was shown on the runway today, must be honest, but I'm so happy to see Jeremy Scott going in the right direction. Franco Moschino's spirit was everywhere!

Now Prada ... Those who know me also know the love-fanatism-obsession-devotion that I have for everything that Miuccia Prada does. This was a continuation of her Pre-Fall, but with lots of pastel tones. As always Ms. Prada went once again to a very different path, away from the "trend". I never imagined seeing such an extense palette of pastel colors in a Prada's runway show, but as always Ms. Prada brings the unexpected. The cut, precision and tailoring of suits, jackets and trousers was impeccable, especially in the pieces made in tweed. Beautiful.

The shoes were fabulous, they looked very comfortable and versatile, nothing compared to what she has already presented. As the runway show moved on, the pastels started to fade away, which pleased me greatly. Short dresses with a sort of 3-D embroidery and rhinestones appliqués were heavenly.

I guess I must get used to such amount of pastels coming from Prada, it was totally unexpected, and I must say that the bags were quite modest in design, which was offset by the clothing somehow. The pins, glasses, shoes and gloves were everything. Adored them.

As always, Ms. Prada is giving us plenty to talk about.

Other shows brought some great stuff each. I must say I particularly enjoyed No. 21, Fay and Fendi. Amazing first 2 days!
