Vivienne Westwood| Milan Fashion Week FW 2011

New year, new collections, new fashion weeks! This week kicked off the men's fall/winter 2011/12 fashion week in Milan and I have already gotten my hands on some pictures from the Vivienne Westwood show which was held yesterday.

What I loved: The red lips, almost all the coats (especially the one featured in the second to last picture below) as well as the sneakers. Its good to see that the trend of wearing sneakers with a suit is now becoming more mainstream in the fashion world

What I hated: The baggy pants! Sorry Viv, but they are some of the most hideous things i've ever seen.

Below I have posted a few pictures as well as a video of the show. Also keep in mind that I have just updated "The Schedule" tab (above) with all the major 2011 fashion weeks around the world! Tomorrow is the last day in Milan where you can catch a live stream of the Giorgio Armani show at 5:30am EST. After that, we move on to Germany and the always anticipated Paris!

The return of color| Gucci SS2011

If this is any indication as to what the major trends for Spring/Summer 2011 will look like then we will be seeing a lots and lots of color! Gucci came running out the gate this week at Milan Fashion Week with vibrant color blocking techniques. But staying true to the essence of the brand, they did not forget their roots; sophisticated luxury was still eminent in most of the collection which was emphasized by gold belts and embellishments and leather.

The casting agent for this show should also be commended. Literally every relevant supermodel in today's industry walked Gucci's runway. This list included Raquel Zimmermann, Freja Beha, Joan Smalls, Chanel Iman, Kasia Struss and Abbey Lee Kershaw!

It just doesn't get much better than Gucci....

He's Back!!!!

I know I must sound like a Repetitive Randy but I really have been busy lately....REALLY! For starters, I'm now in the Big Apple! It's soo trilling to now be located in the fashion capital of the world! I was able to attend a few shows for New York Fashion Week SS 2011 including Gottex, Milley and LaQuan Smith! I'll be posting articles about each shortly.


Also, remember to stay turned to "The Schedule"; the new tab that I created for you guys to keep posted on the latest fashion events. This week kicked off DC Fashion Week, Puerto Rico High Fashion Week AND Milan Fashion so I will be posting tons and tons of amazing trends for Spring/Summer 2011.
