Provoking Girl. Miu Miu SS16

_A2X0931

I can’t believe myself – it’s the last post about the SS16 fashion month! And even though I am kind of sad that the spring-summer 2016 season came to an end, it feels like a perfect time to chill and look back at all the fashion moments that took place in September and at the beginning of October. The marathon of New York, London, Milan and Paris delivered so many gorgeous, amusing, shocking and effy collections, that it’s the perfect time to take a short break and reflect. However, there is never too much of Miu Miu – Miuccia Prada absolutely astonished me this time. The new collection is a bit confusing, but very appealing. The ugliness of the ballerina shoes with Comme des Garcons-like belt buckles and vichy checks are a loud nod to the beauty of ballet and its bad sides. Miuccia gave as some tulle skirts, too, keeping Miu Miu’s spirit girlie, but with a twist. The ruffled, organza aprons in courgette purple, mint green and cherry red  looked provoking, when worn with the loosely fit pencil skirts. A Miu Miu collection is not a Miu Miu collection without eclectic wallpaper prints and fur stoles, which appeared to be worn extravagantly around the chest. I also loved the fur “tails” which dangled under the leather jackets and layered shirts. Feminine edginess wins the label this season, saying sweetly “I wear what I want, so don’t bother me“. A great collection that ends another nutritious season!

Gypsy. Marni Pre-Fall’14

Slide01Marni’s designer, Consuelo Marni, makes a renaissance movement  for this label. Seriously, the last few seasons are really good. And this Pre-Fall’14 is even better! Having a bit of Prada feel in it (note those fur stoles and shoes!), the collection is warm, boheme and cool at the same time. Like a gypsy, the model wears not matchy prints with over-sized coats, socks, heels, scarves and huge bags, looking fresh and really stylish. Marni does clothes for the “I don’t know what to wear, so I will wear something” days, and I love it. What do you think of this vibrant, colourful style?
