MFW My 5 favorite collections

Jil Sander SS 15. Of course always one of my favorite shows and probably not only mine! Where do I start, I really love the volume in the blouses, the length of the skirts and the smart layering. Another thing that attracted my attention were the high socks, how amazing is it that these are worn with open shoes. I also like the matching tops and bottoms, it gives the impression of a suit but without the stiffness. Looking at second outfit, I think I will give the bandeau top a try again.

Byblos SS 15. I also selected a less 'familiar' name, because I was positively surprised by what they showed. The geometric prints used on different kind of materials, paired with more feminine prints and colors resulted in a refreshing collection that seems to be exactly that we'll need this summer. Even though checked trousers were already there last season, I'm still looking for one. So I'm happy to see that you can still find them on the runway as well.

Gucci SS 15. Gucci sometimes is too much for my taste; too sexy, but I do like the hippie-like feeling within this collection. Of course pairing the colorful furs with the printed dresses is predictable in a way, but the combination with the plain white dresses is amazing. I might want to try something like that myself.

Dolce & Gabanna SS 15. The Dolce and Gabanna shows always turn out to be quite phenomenal. This season the show again ended with an army of models walking down the catwalk. You probably know that I'm not that often wearing embellished clothes, but I can see myself wearing one of those beaded/jeweled tops. I also like the ladylike t-strap heels in ruby red, but I guess I don't go to parties where you have to wear shoes like that.

N 21 SS 15. The fifth collection I picked is the one from N 21. I really like the young and energetic vibe at this collection. There is a good balance between the showing of skin and covering. The collection seems to be really detailed and many different materials are being used. The combination of the lace skirt with a business oxford shirt is perfect. I'm only not so sure about those shoes. What is your favorite collection from Milan Fashion Week? xx

Milan Fashion Week

My favorite collections showed during Milan Fashion week. I like both the extensive decorated models at Dolce & Gabanna which, like the past seasons, looked religious inspired and the clean minimalstic approach at Max Mara and Jil Sander. Fendi was a bit in-between 'cause the shapes and cuts were very clean but the bags and sunnies were a bit funky. What's your favorite? xx

What to wear when visiting the future

Well, at least that was what I thought when I saw some of the last spring summer collections coming down the runway. Like Alexander Wang doing his cut-outs on every item in new ways. He decided to use fishline to hold different pieces of fabric together to create items, like these shorts. Acne also came up with new ideas. They created jackets and skirt with different panels of fabric. Do you like this simplistic approach, hurray for minimalism?! Tell me.
