Fair ladies, embrace your Nordic tendencies that render you positively innocent when the makeup goes away. Use a pale pink that ebbs nude and a lengthening mascara. To get the Dolce & Gabbana look, mix a touch of their two

Purity Pink

What prevailed throughout all of Fashion Week culminated on the crystal cased Chanel runway with embroidered brows by the famed atelier de broderie, Lesage. If you don't have overgrown eyebrows, or just have fair hair, try like Pat McGrath did at Alexander Wang to give a boyish straight shape by brushing on dark eye shadow. You could also try an eyebrow palette with angled brushes. The

Cold and angular eyes stared runways down to the chill of midnight.

Like in Rick Owen's show "Offset the Scary", the brightest red will make a look iconic. Try a look-at-me lip of your own:

Bursting Red Lips

Burning in the fiery shadows of your lids is an orange or red taking up the whole space. You need to span big or else it runs the risk of looking like you've been crying. Not chic. And keep the rest of the face clean, obviously. Go big or go home in tears. Peter Phillips used several variations of orange at Dries Van Noten. From Make Up For Ever, he used no. 66, a mustard and no. 78, a rusty mandarin. Though those are both discontinued, you can try his third shadow,

Hot mess dream trend! This look encourages us to fall asleep with our makeup on, roll outta bed and rock the refined raccoon eye. Marc Jacobs approves twice.

Blackberries haven't gotten this much attention since iPhones hit Verizon. Unfortunately for the smartphone-makers, we're talking color. Perhaps it's the Rooney Mara effect, but oxblood-burgundy lips were everywhere. On the Gucci runway, Pat McGrath used

Vampy Lips

While Angelina Jolie's right leg is photo bombing the world, Milan got leg bombed with slits that hit the pelvic bone. Even in plaid.

Enough with this leg bombing! The Military cometh to lay down some laws. Ferragamo is still in the trenches while Cavalli is coming home decorated victoriously.

Curves are being created on nearly every runway with optical side panelling or lacing. The inward jut of black or blank space creates a waist, and the curve of the center panel creates the hips. If you're skinny, you'll look curvy and if you're curvy you'll appear thinner.

With the military comes censorship. Unlike the breast baring all over NYFW, Milan has thrown a censor bandeau under the sheers.

Now to the cat with a million lives. Leopard lives on the runways and on the structured jackets of next fall.

The face of victory, Mario Boselli

New York and the CFDA has agreed to not push back the dates of New York Fashion Week in accordance with the “Second Thursday rule” so as not to interfere with Milan’s show dates. The CFDA’s chief executive officer Steven Kolb graciously and begrudgingly admitted defeat at the hands of noted shit-talker Mario Boselli of the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana in a statement today:

“We’ve been back and forth on this. People are anxious and need to know the dates. There’s no value for the cities to compete. In the spirit of working together, London and New York are in agreement that we will go in the earlier period, but with the hope that the four cities will come out of this confusion and work together to plan future show weeks. We need to begin to look at the fashion season not as individual fashion weeks, but very much as a global business.”

Well, at least it’s over and no lives were lost. But it being a fashion war, expect some scathing reviews flooding in from the upcoming fall 2012 runway shows in Milan and Paris because shade is the only real weapon of combat. As for next year, New York will show from September 6 thru 13, London from September 14 thru 18, Milan from September 19 thru 25 and Paris from September 26 thru October 3. [WWD]

Beautiful and ornate are just 2 of the words that I would use to describe the latest collection from  Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. vBeside the usual well-tailored black tuxes Dolce & Gabbana sent down some out of this world creations. Some of our personal faves included fur trims, crazy embroidery and all knit everything.

While checking out the photos from the show we saw many looks and thought “Wait, is that pajamas as casual wear or just pajamas” or “Is that underwear or just really short shorts and knit trousers.” If you look really closely you can see that most of the accessories are as overly lavish as the garments themselves. As far as design I would definitely say it’s a step further than their Spring collection.
Check out more looks in the gallery below.

Palazzo Versace, Australia

If you didn’t get to shop the Versace x H&M collection, have no fear – you can still get into some Versace design. The Palazzo Versace, designed by Donatella herself, drips with glamour. Indulge in your in-room spa, drink from designer glasses and teacups and boast to your friends that camped outside for Versace x H&M you are indoors relaxing on Versace ground. Plus, it’s summer in Australia. Extra plus, if you stay for New Year’s Eve, you can party in style on a golden playground.

I'm in love with the crazy works of Fabio Novembre.

Hong Kong is the best city I visited, but I also love NYC and the U.S. in general. Next trip? San Francisco!

“We proved that there was no agreement with the Council of Fashion Designers of America and the British Fashion Council regarding the three years 2012-2013-2014, and that, in any case, the postponement of a week for the dates of September 2012 was not on the table,” said Boselli.

Fashion week in Milan next year, Sept. 19th-25th, will directly conflict with New York and London —  Sept. 13th-20th and Sept. 21st-25th, respectively. With more than a bit of spite, Milan blames the CFDA for moving NYFW a week later than in previous years and if they were to follow suit, Italian designers wouldn’t be able to satisfy production needs.

Boselli also finds accusations that the Italians are not honoring its commitments as “an aggressive and arrogant stance towards the CNMI” since they had set their 2012 dates in March of last year.

DVF, in an open letter to the fashion community, reasserts the CFDA’s stance on the “Second Thursday” rule:

Editors, retailers and designers  like the consistency of every designer always showing on the same day of the week season after season. It makes it so much easier for everyone to plan and attend shows…We did not change from the agreement we reached of starting Fashion Season in New York on the same day every year…I also believe this conflict is a misunderstanding. I am convinced it will be resolved and that the agreement that was made 3 years ago at great cost and effort is valid and will be kept.

President of France’s Chambre Syndicale, Didier Grumbach, also thinks that this is all just one big misunderstanding, though he agrees with Boselli that the rule was only temporary: “We always said that it is impossible to plan anything beyond three years as you never know what kind of events might come up…The idea was always that we would meet up again once the three-year time period was up.”

If all this back and forth between everyone is confusing, matters got a whole lot messier when the CFDA and the BFC sent letters to Italian designers asking to help Boselli and Grumbach “stick to this agreement and maintain the current flow of dates.” Those designers, for their part, wholeheartedly support the CNMI.

For now, it looks like no one is backing down though von Furstenberg is still holding out hope for a compromise. [WWD, WWD -- sub req'd]

Menswear billowed into womenswear.The androgyny laid not in cutting a man's suit for a woman, but taking those elements that define a man's wardrobe and blowing it out with a feminine angle. Like a tuxedo shirt that melts into draped jersey. Or suit pants that slit upen to reveal another trouser.

Spring was designed in sheer delight. Whether crochet or clear like water, we see through next spring, and so will you.

Let the leg out. While we're still loving the maxi, they're being steered in a sexier route. Thigh high slits make the floor length look thankfully less austere.

"Florals in spring. Groundbreaking." Exactly why we're so surprised it was so strong for Spring 2012. But it was positively everywhere. The trend forecasters must have predicted rain, because designers listened. That or they all independently decided that now is the time for a communal bloom. Floral or not, it's all about the pattern mash. Loud and proud, ladies.

Ilaria Nistri

A lawyer turned fashion designer with designs that are far from court room attire. Ilaria Nistri produces a dark, contemporary collection for Spring 2012. The collection in icy silvers, white and black in an assortment of elegant draping, oversized hoodies with sex appeal and futuristic silhouettes for the vampy seductress. Her quality fabrics are produced by her own textile company with her husband, Stilab Srl.

The red of next spring is primarily bold. Think fire trucks and Louboutin soles.

In contrast to this past spring's tangerine, this orange has gone pumpkin, with reddish bronze undertones.

Just shy of neon, this near-blinder shows hints of marigold. It's vibrant and saturated, ready to tackle any busy print in a fight for loudness.

Green is feeling minty fresh. The pastel finish is crisp and clean.

True blue is blowing up cobalt. There's a great depth in this striking color.

Baby got back to the hue of blue that kisses the sky through a layer of mist.

Lavender sweeps in with an essence of calm. The color is regal, light as a princess (not nearly as light at Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge - skinny bid).

I woke up in a pile of drool as I felt the plane touch down in Milan this morning. We arrived tired from a whirlwind 2 days in London filming my new commercials for Astor Cosmetics with my favorite photographer, Rankin! I perked up as soon as I knew it was only a short time until I got to visit one of my favorite stores, attend the always fabulous Versace show and end the night wearing a fabulous gown designed by one of my dear friends.

1pm – Stopped by the Duomo for a little sightseeing.

3pm – When you are in Milan you have to stop by one of my favorite stores, 10 Corso Como. They are known for having the best fashion! They buy things from designers that no one else does!

7pm – Quick stop backstage to see Donatella before the Versace show. Look at her dress! She is as fabulous as ever.

8pm – What a beautiful show. I wanted everything!

10pm – Arrived at the amfAR event wearing a gray strapless dress with a full skirt from Cavalli. I ran into Nina Garcia, Bar Refaeli, John Legend, Chrissy Teigen and the always stunning Eva & Roberto Cavalli.

11:30pm – Just as the night was ending, look who fell into my lap! Chanel Iman

12am – Headed back to the hotel to eat some spaghetti which is always a must in Italy! Some gelato? Bring it on! Can’t wait to fly back to my family tomorrow!!

The exhibit was curated by LOVE magazine editrix/Marc’s stylist for both his eponymous line and Vuitton since 2003, Katie Grand, who insists that it is not a retrospective; rather, she “put clothes together as I would for a shoot.” Hence a mixing and matching of looks from different collections helmed by Jacobs since 1998.

These 30 looks are modeled on mannequins, some bearing the iconic Vuitton Speedy bag as heads, while others — painted orange and pink and covered in Louis Vuitton graffiti designed by frequent Jacobs collaborator Stephen Sprouse — are frozen in editorial-ready poses.

The Art of Fashion coincides with the opening of Milan Fashion Week and the brand’s new store in Via Montenapoleone 2. It does not, however, have anything to do with those pesky rumors that Marc is moving to Dior, since, according to Grand, they started working on The Art of Fashion in January.

It’s nice to know Grand and Jacobs took some time out from plotting the downfall of London Fashion Week to put together this lovely exhibit. If you’re in Milan, you can catch Louis Vuitton: The Art of Fashion‘s very limited engagement through October 9th. [WWD]

The limited edition capsule collection, first shown at the D&G Fall 2011 show in Milan, combines Skullcandy’s globally recognized headphone design with D&G’s signature style.

“Skullcandy has always blended fashion into our design process,” Clarke Miyasaki, VP Business Development, Skullcandy said. “We look forward to the growth potential of this collection with D&G.”

Words that come to mind when think of this collection: fun, sexy, wild, bright & bold.

There are many concepts going on in this collection. One that Versace always stays true with is ultimate Italian pizzazz and luxury. Versace has never been one to shy away from a print and stayed true to that.

The collection showed some different silhouettes such as shorter jackets and different cuts on tops.The show also proved a point that many other Milan shows have tried this season which is prove that the double-breasted  blazer is back.

Hardware details were very obvious in this collection. They featured buckles in unconventional ways by using them to replace buttons on suiting and using them on the side of trousers.

For some reason I believed that this collection would be another boring suit and printed underwear show but it actually produced some truly innovative pieces.

See this I hope the  mens portion of her H&M collection will be as great as this one.

From this collection, Prada, & Burberry show, one can deduce it is going to be a print heavy S/S season for men.

While the Dolce & Gabbana show focused on neural tones; D&G brought the spice. The prints conjure up images of clothes from the 70?s and vintage Versace. I have said it again and again but next season every man should have at least one printed trouser in his closet. (Just to make a statement)

The duo also focused on denim in this collection. While many thought the whole denim trend was getting trite this collection breathed new life into it. The blue denim waistband on the bottoms add a certain underground feel which contradicts and complements all at the same time.

When on the topic of denim, D&G has stamped it’s approval on “The Canadian Tuxedo.” Denim on denim can many times appear sloppy or just trashy but with the right proportions and washes it can look expensive.

The D&G collection overall was very strong. The prints and designs are ridiculously inspiring. Now the question in the fashion world’s mine is will the womens collection live to the hype?

This is what fashion shows are made of. Prada delivered with innovation, execution and production.

Let’s start off with the set. Prada took their designs and put them on an artificial golf course green. Show attends were spread out in the space sitting on beautifully blue blocks.

The clothes were astounding. The label wanted this man to stand out. To do this they outfitted him in florals, embellished tops, and a number of prints. Miuccia Prada took so many risks and they seemed to have payed off on the runway.

No mens accessory was left unembellished or printed including the golf bag. It’s safe to say that there are not many flashy golf bags on the course, but after this show maybe so more fashionistos will be hitting all 18 holes.

I could literally go on and on about this collection. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. After viewing them you might understand how this quickly reached the top of best men shows this season yet.

Earlier today, Ferragamo and Creative Director Massimiliano Giornetti showed debuted their men ready to wear Spring 2012 collection. This inspiration behind the designs was an artistic yet rugged man with a refined & tailored style.

Ferragamo stuck to their clean and tailored silhouettes which could be seen through the double-breasted jackets and high-waist trousers with pleats. This isn’t the first show where I less than appreciated the head wear. (See Burberry Prosum) The difference between the show is that I feel these hats are more cohesive with the collection.

The man who wears Ferragamo has an undeniable swagger and charm. Many of the sweaters, jackets, trousers, bags, and shoes can fit effortlessly in most classes and add a dash of luxury along with impeccable style.

The Italian design duo sent down their Spring/Summer collection, called The Net, earlier today in Milan. Besides the latest fashions, the show displayed that the brand is has a great grasp on social media. Besides live streaming their show (9AM EST) they also broadcasted comments from online with a screen above the runway.

The designers also thought out of the box when it can to the garments. The show started off with a classic Dolce & Gabbana suit but what followed had me caught of guard. Apparently for this collection it was all about what appeared to be nets. (Hence the name)

The designers incorporated these nets in as many pieces as possible.By many I mean: tops, pants, shorts, jacket, and even shoes. It was interesting  to see the different materials used in the same way from the perforated leather in the footwear to the material that shaped the tailored blazers.

My favorite piece, believe it or not, wasn’t a garment. In fact I have become obsessed with the mirrored sunglasses showcased on some of the models. They will surely be on more and more faces next season

Domenico & Stefano definitely have a hit collection on their hands that will be very hard to top the rest of the week.  They managed to take what one would consider glorified mesh but with the neutral colors and sheer innovation of this collection the outcome became something totally different.

“She lives fashion. She sings about and says it’s the most fun thing about getting ready for Idol. Her eyes light up when you ask her what kind of shoes she’s wearing.” So says Tommy Hilfiger, who’s working with La Lopez on her newest line for Kohl’s.

If you remember, in the heady days of Bennifer when Jenny purported she was from the block, she started JLO and its allegedly higher end line, Sweetface. It made sense, she was a bona fide fashion icon, scoring more hits on the red carpet than at the box office.

Example A:

And of course, the plunging neckline heard round the world:

That dress made Jennifer Lopez’s career — and coincidentally revived Versace which was struggling under Donatella Versace after the death of her brother Gianni three years earlier in 1997 — and propelled her to fashion fame (and infamy).

So it made sense for her of all people to start a fashion line, but she apparently “didn’t understand the business well enough.” Now with a new Hilfiger on board — Andy, Tommy’s younger brother, was J.Lo’s JLO partner — the old girl’s ready to give it another go.

Sure, Kohl’s isn’t a runway in Milan or a luxurious presentation on the French Riviera, but J. Lo’s going to be getting that J. Simps money.* Coupled with her cushy gig on American Idol, a hit dance song (the gays will take anything) and DVD sales from Selena, La Lopez has mounted a comeback!

And I couldn’t be happier.

There are so few real stars left since reality TV and the Internet has ruined fame for everyone (p.s. follow me on Twitter @LesFabian). Sure, she’s not the most talented singer, or actress, or dancer, or fashion designer, but hey — she’s the best at pretending to do all of them. And that’s called star power, kids.

Were you girls a design team prior to studying at Ars Arpel School in Milan or did you meet there? As a team, did you always want to design shoes or was it something you fell into along the way?
We met when we both started work in the same week as junior designers for an Australian footwear group. We clicked immediately and it wasn’t long before we were planning our own label together. We’ve always both been interested in shoes and our passion and study drew us together. We both studied fashion design in Italy at different times and we’ve worked together now since 2003.

As designers, you maintain a “strong focus on the silhouette” of the shoes for your line tom gunn. Are you inspired by architecture in modern and ancient building? What about the architecture of nature like mountains and valleys?
We are inspired by everything around us. We collect images and photos on an inspiration board when we start to design a new collection and quite often use both modern and ancient architecture as inspiration as well as nature. We then zero in on the small details and take lines and shapes from the image to create the design lines of the shoes.

You source leathers and exotic skins from some of the top Italian tanneries. What about these materials make your shoes stand out from other lines? Has working with such high-end materials changed your perception of the footwear industry as a whole?
We absolutely love working with beautiful Italian leathers and exotic skins. The best quality materials make the shoe much more luxurious and comfortable. Snake and lizard leathers also have such a gorgeous texture that adds another dimension to the design.

There are so many footwear labels using low-end, cheap and plastic materials to keep the prices extremely low. This means you get what you pay for in terms of quality and comfort. Now we strive to use the best materials we can to ensure our shoes are luxurious, comfortable and the wearer will love them!

Do you look to forecasting trends for the colors and textures you use for your collections, or does the inspiration stem from inner creativity? Or is it a mix of both?
We build our colour palette from our images on our inspiration board. We love colour and leathers so we usually choose them first before we even start talking about design details for the collection. We don’t look at forecasting trends but design based on how we’re feeling and on what we would like to have in our shoe collections at that time! Of course, this means we need to wait six months for the shoe we’re coveting at the time, but it’s worth the wait!

Who and what inspires you? From nature to buildings, and blogs to other designers, where do you turn when a creativity block comes along?
Our design time is the most fun part of running the label so we usually come into it bursting with ideas and inspirations we’ve been dreaming about after the previous collection. There are a few amazing blogs including The Selby, Jak & Jil and Sea of Shoes we love looking at and some designers that inspire us are Dries Van Noten, Phoebe Philo of Celine and Consuelo Castiglioni of Marni.

It is so amazing tom gunn was awarded Footwear Designer of the Year at the 2010 2threads Fashion Awards. How has this changed the attention toward your brand?
Winning the 2Threads Footwear Designer of the Year was fantastic! It has certainly helped raise the profile of our brand and we have received many more inquiries and press.

You can learn more about tom gunn on the brand’s website.

Watch the Milan Fashion Week Video

Their reasoning:

Head of the National Chamber of Italian Fashion Mario Boselli told the AFP, “Some labels just weren’t in line with what ready-to-wear week should be. We wanted to champion the values of creativity to reaffirm Milan’s role in the world.”

Are you serious?

Even without the support of Milan Fashion Week, the show went on. Elena Miro delivered an amazing show featuring high end designers plus size fashion.

Can you believe that Milan deemed this not fitting for ready-to-wear?

“One of my favorite moments that always comes to mind, is when I walked the Versace show in Milan and Naomi Campbell was opening the show as the big special guest. It was a mens’ show so they had her like a “ring girl” carrying a sign down the runway. We met in the middle on the runway and she said “Here, you take this, I’m sick of holding it.” I was like “I don’t think I’m supposed to have this sign” but you know, Naomi told me to, so I took the sign. I was like “Really? You have to walk down one time and you can’t hold this sign?” At least she didn’t throw it at me, right?”

Haha!!!! I love it.

Falling on the runway. Embarrassing? Yes. Painful? Most Likely. Forgotten about by next season? Of course. But a tumble on the runway is a mere blip on the radar in comparison to this season’s runway trauma: crying on the runway. We’ve heard the rumors and seen the photos of Auguste Abeliunaite’s teary catwalk during Jil Sander’s Fall 2009 collection in Milan. Allow me to clear the gossip of bad breakups, tights shoes and painful cramps to bring you the biggest bullshit excuse I’ve ever heard. According to Piero Piazzi, Abeliunaite’s booker, her eyes are sensitive and bright lights turn on the waterworks: “She has delicate eyes,” Piazzi explained. “We were laughing with the casting director after the show.” Hmm…maybe it was nervous laughter because Piazzi knew he wouldn’t be making quite the same commission on this girl. Honestly, if the whole bright lights excuse was really the case, Abeliunaite, regardless of her gorgeous features, would not have a career in modeling. And hello, bright lights are used in every runway show, so why haven’t we seen tears from the model before? 

Personally, I’d like to hear from Abeliunaite herself. You’re a big girl beautiful, why don’t you tell the world why you were really crying/tearing up/eye watering instead of having your uncreative booker make up some lame excuse? 

Thanks NY Mag!

Miuccia Prada didn’t fail to impress with a collection that took the gladiator look to a whole new level. We’ve got the video after the jump.
