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!
That wasn’t just another colourful season for Rosellini Jardini at Moschino. As Franco Moschino asked 30 years ago “What is fashion?”, now the current designer of stated the same question for the 30th Anniversary collection of Moschino! Wow, that is a real tripled milestone for a label like that! From that occasion, Jardini prepared an amazing collection presented on her beautiful Milanese friends and favourite models that wasn’t about new hearts, checks and smiles. It was a collection made of archive’s biggest Moschino hits- the shopping bag dress, chain jacket, cow dress and teddy bear hat! The mix of that was much better than usual Moschino collection. I felt my fashion memories were refreshed! Possibly, the full collection, like for example my fav shopping bag dress, will surely not arrive in stores, but this swimming suit would be surely a bestseller. People like “limited edition” stuff!
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!!! ❤❤❤
DAAD in Milan is a conceptual store full of dark aesthetic clothes, Comme des Garcons perfumes and a la Rick Owens coats. Indeed, the clothes and less known labels in this store are styled very much on Rick Owens and Maison Martin Margiela from the past. Nothing here is like it seems- a coat can be a shirt and trousers a skirt! The interior reminds me a bit of -PN/P in Florence, that was also dark and very artistic! I love this place! And there was this one coat with fur that I am eternally in love from now on…
Paper Moon is a restaurant in Milan, that in reality is not doing anything special- it’s simply delicious and all products are fresh and hand made! The famous Italian dish made of beef slices in Tuna sauce was so good, I was like it’s best thing I ever ate! And the Pizza? Again best in the world. The dough was so delicate, and the cheese so dissolving in mouth! The taglioni with beefragout are in my dreams till today! This restaurant with dozens of film posters of biggest super stars like Johnny Depp and Marilyn Monroe is, again, best restaurant in Milan!
