The Pre-Fall 2014 collection of Gucci was a classical, colourful presentation of comfortable clothes like duffel coats, elegant dresses and shirling jackets. Frida Gianini definitely made this collection chic with all these marine stripes and cute flower prints, combining modernity with simplicity. These great mini dresses look great for a big event and for a cozy lunch with your friends- this is what the Gucci woman for Fall looks like. Always efortless. And she simply can’t forget her timeless loafers!
Milan
No.21’s Spring
No.21 by Alessandro Dell Acqua is definitely the biggest highlight of Italian fashion this year- with his sporty approach to Italian detailing and quality, the label is a bestseller at all on-line stores. Dell Acqua’s Resort 2013 collection for this modern label is a mix of paradise prints, loose tousers, lace jackets and chic flats. This pretty short lookbook may feel pretty modest, but the clothes themself are beautiful. Questo è il nome da ricordare!

Boom-Boom. Fausto Puglisi SS14
When Karolina Kurkova opens a show of a young designer, that means that a real talent is nurturing into something much more bigger… Fausto Puglisi, the designer of the moment from Milan, known for checked varsity jackets and gold ornamented skirts, this season had his first ever runway show. For SS14, Fausto not only showed his clothes have their own rock ‘n roll aestethics, but also are very feminine. We could see a Carolina Herrera mixed with Axel Rose in these amazing looks- a maxi blue dress with beautifully embroidered palms tapped with a leather biker jacket. Not only this collections had balls, but it looked real cool and great for Summer strolling somewhere at the Palm Springs… The fav designer of Coco Rocha, is now stealing the spotlight from a bit dusty Milan Fashion Week, but just ended today. Now we head to… Paris!
Nature. Marni SS14
Marni SS14 wasn’t just about lazy prints and funny jewellery. The Milanese label known for it’s minimalistic approach, this season shocked with some seriously amazing flower embroidery! That was one beautiful coat, in reddish shades, that looked like a flowerbomb. Marni too thought of Summer comfortability- hats, sunglasses and light top for every occasion. The whole collection was kept in one simple colour- the salmon pink/creme pink that made everything look so easy and affordable!
