Full Color Spectrum of Spring Fashion Week

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

Amongst the bevy of busy prints that has shaped this fashion week, we’ve noticed how equally represented Roy G. Biv has been. These shades, however, are unique to now, with a sense of vibrancy. According to designers in the Big 4: New York, London, Milan and Paris, it’s going to be a colorful Spring. Taste the rainbow. 

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?

Three Models Hit Their Personal Best for Vogue Italia

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

Extreme hair, statement lips and exaggerated silhouettes may seem like too much when melded into one look, but they actually complement one another quite harmoniously in the April 2011 issue of Vogue Italia. Models Daphne Groeneveld, Lindsey Wixson and Kristina Salinovic demonstrate their “Personal Best” for photographer Steven Meisel in designs from the likes of Roberto Cavalli, Blumarine and Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquiere. Stylist Edward Enninful conjured 70s memories with punk rock hair, disco platforms and flowery prints, creating an electric and spirited mood for the commander of Italian fashion. But what makes this spread so spectacular is the intimate personality of the photographs; it’s almost like looking at pictures of very gorgeous, very fabulous old-time friends.

Jacquelyn Jablonski Ain’t No City Slicker for Vogue Russia

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

What do a gun fanny pack, fringed suede pants and a cow skull necklace embellished with crystals have in common? I am obsessed with them in this spread for the March 2011 issue of Vogue Russia. American model Jacquelyn Jablonski shows us what cowgirls are made of, wearing knee-length braids, denim shirts and heavily embellished accessories. Styled by Olga Dunina, pieces from Pamela Love, Blumarine, Ralph Lauren and Stetson were used to create this western fantasy shot by Jason Kibbler. There’s something about western style that always makes me long for summer. Sigh.

Mixing two prints in the same outfit is an art form that can look absolutely stunning or terribly frightful. Check out our tips for mixing prints so you can look like an icon, not an idiot.

Snejana Onopka Dreams of Neutrals and Floral Headdresses

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

Like a princess who has nothing to do but daydream for hours, Snejana Onopka stares into space wearing gorgeous neutrals and crowns of dried flowers. I’m getting sleepy thinking about long naps in Blumarine, Burberry Prorsum and Louis Vuitton with the scent of potpourri wafting around me. A rose light lends color to this long afternoon haze in the land of getting dressed-up with nowhere to go.

WOMAN: Blumarine Spring 2011

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

The Blumarine spring 2011 collection was super fun to look through. I’m digging the billowy, rainbow leopard fabrics and fabulous 70s silhouettes. Some of the pieces got a little too Miami for me with the scrunching action, but it’s a nice collection over all. Every party girl needs one of these dresses/jumpsuits in her wardrobe for that beach vacation. If anything, I need a pair of these shoes.
