An Eccentric Full Moon Hangs Over Milan

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

As Sam and I flipped through the pages of yesterday’s WWD, we noticed some pretty kooky looks stepping off the Milan runways. When we think of Italian style, we think modern, streamlined and sexy. For Spring 2012, it seems the creative minds behind Italy’s top fashion houses decided to drop acid and design together. Not that we mind, but it is an interesting change. Here are some of the most eccentric looks for the Milan runways – would you wear them?

Coke On The Runway

Coke on the Runway? Yeah, you never see it but you know what’s happening backstage. Oh, wait, Coca Cola?!? Yeah, I guess that makes more sense.

RUNWAY RUNDOWN: Blumarine Fall 2009

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

Not only was the Blumarine fall 2009 collection out-of-this-world sick, but the runway show made me the happiest person alive at 6:00 a.m. on a Wednesday. Anna Molinari blew pop art out of the water, sending dresses dazzled with Andy Warhol’s flower prints down a runway reflecting a Warhol-esque portrait of herself. A little cheesy? Yes, but completely entertaining and well-done at the same time. Technicolor leopard prints and leather motorcycle jackets were two favorites out of the line. Whimsical mini dresses in classic Warhol blue, yellow and pink added an art installation quality to Molinari’s already artistic fall collection. My absolute favorite was the ensemble with Warhol flower print leggings and a metallic orange jacket; it definitely woke me up more than my coffee did.
