Serving up faux fur creations with an irresistible sense of fun, London-based Hannah Weiland is one to watch. This young designer studied art history and textiles before launching Shrimps, so called because of her childhood nickname. The collection focuses on the idea of classic Breton stripes with a twist – expect supercharged color combinations and oversized cuts. The WILMA coat is the one not to missed!
Little KARLITO and Fendi Dromes where the show’s biggest affairs. First of all, KARLITO is a small Karl muppet made out of fur, and since next season you will wear it everywhere, just like Cara Delevigne on the runway. Fendi Dromes were… well, something, that was meant to be cool. It was flying around during the show, live-streaming the event on Fendi web-site. Woow… Talking of the collection, it was nice, but no craze about it. Fur, brown colour palette, fur, flattering skirts and orchidees (were they real?!). Surely nothing spectacular, but a lot of pieces are a WANT. For example the parka with furry elements or the boots that were rocked by Joan Smalls. 
That was such surprise this morning to see the Celine Resort 2014 on their site! As Phoebe Philo didn’t let the collection to go out within others like Dior and Chanel because of Zara’s copying, Celine Resort 2014 was uploaded silently today at night. As nobody knows anything about it, by accident I saw the colledtion… and wow! The pre-collection is nothing like SS14- it’s kept in beiges, linen fabrics, fur and python. Yeah, fur. The furs were bigger than the ones in the AW13 collection! And everything out of mink… for Spring. The python leather vest looked pretty cool; the nurse dresses in pastel colours were cute; sweaters, sweatpants and coats were classical and simple. Very Celine and chic. Definitely this impressive collection is one of the best for Spring 2014… and the birkenstocks are again back in fashion!
Milan Fashion Week has always one label that I would most love to see first. And it’s of course Prada. But what kind of Prada- Miuccia really outdid herself for Summer 2014. The collection was all about Italian modern artists, and specifically, Italian female artist. The venue of the show was all covered with a kind of graffiti representing women in different sceneries- one in a jungle, second in a pink background. But all of them had one thing in common- their edgy way of dressing!
First look, first impressions- difficult colours for Summer and prints of women on skirts. Wow. Then embroideries. Then fur (just like Summer ago. Yes, this collection about geishas…) coats and again amazing prints. I thing this is one of the most collector edition season by Miuccia- well, every collection of Prada is like a limit edition, but this is really the type that is just begging to be found in wardrobe. Even one of these cute clutches or pair of these crazy shoes! This collection is simply… A piece of art that can be worn one women! Applause for Prada!!! ❤❤❤
The SS14 from Fendi was all about Summer fun- flowless beach dresses, beautiful red tops and amazing detailing. And… Well, of course fur. But Fendi collection is not Fendi without even a bit of fur. This season was very important for Fendi. After Karl Lagerfeld and Silvia Fendi restorated together with City of Rome the Trevi Fountain, in Italy Fendi is not only a expensive label for rich women. It’s also a national jewel, sponsor of most cultural landscapes restorations in Rome! And thats really good! Coming back to the collection, I adored it strongly. The detailing is impressive, but at the same time it seems so cool and youthful… Karl knows how to shake up something correctly. Always. And I love him for this.
