Spring Sheer

Koi Suwannagate

Christopher Kane

Charles Anastase

Sheer isn't the most translatable fashion trend but there's something entice about these looks. Koi Suwannagate does it a little bohemian- 'so what if my skirt shows my body suit'. Whereas Charles Anastase mixes innocent schoolgirl with the sultry promise of something more. Christopher Kane, as always, blows me away with his creativity. Tranparency is merely the prefect canvas to his delicately formed half loops.

Milan SS09 9/25- Versace

Hands down the best show on September 25, Versace always knows how to bring the house down. The collection incorporates heart emblems in creative ways and shows off impressive technique.

Donatella Versace also showed off her fun side.

Milan SS09 9/25- MaraMax

Wow, I was completely underwelmed with this show. I didn't see an ounce of creativity or vision in the collection. I'm sure there were some great basics, but the complete look felt too bare. I could see the same items at a Alexander Wang show, but A.W. sells cool, dark, and chic. Alexander Wang is selling an image that is based off of great basics. What I missed in MaxMara is the inspiration, or how these basics should be put together. There's nothing to differentiate a MaxMara sequin dress from another designer's. In the end, what I saw was a moving clothing rack that could have came from any department store.
