Its that time of year in between London and Paris. The much missed thorn in my own fashion tale.
The dance between the flames.
Its Milan Fashion Week.
With New York and London, you have  emerging designers showing off their creations to the world. Its EXCITEMENT, and so much ENERGY!!!

But with Paris and Milano...you witness true and wearable works of art.
These are the clothes designed for the worlds best parties.

I have love. For the black winking hat. Envy for the Gucci green.

Georgio Armani's dazzling finale

Backstage at Fendi - an i-D moment with Cara Delevigne.

!!!!!!!!!!VERSUS!!!!!!!!!!!!

With a high voltage performance from Beth Ditto and a full-on Italo rave happening all around....

....Chains are the big story here. Cleverly playing with one of Versace signatures, Christopher Kane’s version came in bright coloured plastic, big and bold.

Statement GUCCI snake print!

The Prada line up in all its glory.

PRADA - the facts.

1. I love it but it can be pretty damn ugly.

2. It is also often the first show American Vogue creative director Anna Wintour flies into the Italian capital for. 

3. It always has every big name girl in town walking in it. 

4. SS13 - the Prada Disaster - Prada turns Japanese to the soundtrack of Megumi Satsu singing about love and suicide in French. Sounds good but looks TERRIBLE.

ITS LIKE A DEPRESSED KID PLAYING CUT AND PASTE WITH HELLO KITTYS LUNCH BOX.

"Everything we used to feel historically, now you can’t enjoy! The clothes are the expression of this impossible dream." MP

Dont get me wrong, Miuccia Prada is the fashion industry’s Messiah

 But "flower power and complex cuts"? More like dripping bullet holes to me.

it's

DOLCE AND GABBANA

..and here come the virgins...

Inspired by streets of Sicily, and virgins no doubt,  D and G embraced the fabulous vibrant and eclectic culture . And decided to share it with the world.  Its Italian glamour with bare legs, crop tops (key importance to my liking)  aztec prints and beach life stripes. WICKED........especially wicked is our girl below :)

She's been caught in the sack.

Just Married?

Still obsessed with what Dolce and Gabbana did earlier in the year when they were inspired by the old and historical Italy. LOVE***

Their signature oversized jewellery, exaggerated cultural references and flamboyant petticoat style skirts and theatrical style was all there for all to see. Only this time they went one further with a old and historical Italian collection.

KARL. THE FACTS.

Inspired by Jefferson hack's V&A summary of the late godmother of fashion, Anna Piaggi, I have compliled a blah blah of the Godfather of fashion, Karl Lagerfeld. The man who lives in a kind of flawless fantasy world perfectly in step with the brand he designs, Chanel.  Why? Fashion Entertainment.
1. K.L often pretends to be a statue.
2. K.L's last name was originally spelt Lagerfeldt, but he dropped the T to make it more commercial
3. K.L insists he can draw dresses with his eyes closed.
4.K.L has over 100 ipods.
5. K.L has a siamese cat  who has her own twitter account, with tweets such as "My name is Choupette Lagerfeld and I am a spoiled pussy", and has been interviewed by the blog Fashionista, detailing life with her maids.

6. He has a man-bitch/body guard/model named Sebastian Jondeau.
7.K.L has an addiction to Diet Coke, and claims that he drinks it “from the minute I get up to the minute I go to bed…I can even drink it in the middle of the night and I can sleep.”
8.K.L will not put his cat Choupette in clothes.
“No, I don’t like animals in human clothes,” he says when asked if he’d ever dress her up. “I think that’s very circuslike.”
9. In 1993, Lagerfeld hired strippers and adult film stars to model his black-and-white collection for Fendi. Anna Wintour reportedly walked out of the runway show because of Lagerfeld’s scandalous choice of models.
10. K.L has 2 houses, 2 and a half metres away from each other. One is for sketching and sleeping, the other one is for lunch, dinner and people.
11. At  11:00 A.M every day K.L has his hair done, as he hates to have hair in his face while he sketches.
12. What K.L hates most t is when he has to look at his watch and get in a hurry to change for dinner.
 13. Sometimes K.L seeems to get his mouth and his asshole mixed up, spouting shit instead of opinions. Sometimes they even talk to each other in the form of "I will interview myself".
