What went wrong with good old depend-on-sexy-clothes-Cavalli?

I have to ask: "What went wrong here Roberto?" Milan has always been the fashion city out of the four (New York, London and Paris) that you knew would deliver some serious sexy-as-hell dresses. But it seems as if Milan is growing up and wants to be more serious than that. A situation I don't understand since the sexy dress part worked so fine. New York got the sportswear, London the avantgarde, Paris the chicness and Milan the sexyness. Versace, Gucci and Roberto Cavalli always delivered the greatest dresses for girls like Angelina Jolie, Beyoncé and Dita von Teese. Versace and Gucci are still going strong, still with sex appeal but in a much more decent way, and a much more boring way. But then the is Roberto Cavalli. Always a man we depended on making a good damn hot dress. Well... it seems like he is going in an other direction far far away from his roots. And that I don't mean in a good way. The female/male touch in a romantic blend is just so not Cavalli. It could perhaps work for Miu Miu or Chloé. But not for Cavalli. I think the average Cavalli woman will be very disappointed. 

Laces!

When I saw this dress from the Dolce and Gabbana spring/summer 2010 show I immediately thought of the shoe-booties from Christian Louboutin. Laces are a good old trend that season after season find its way back to the runways. I think it's quite hard to wear laces without going totally in to a amish/grandmother mood. But these two fashion items are just lovely. 

In my dreams I wear Lanvin

Lanvin is yet again in the top ten of all the collections shown the last two months. No wonder. Alber Elbaz does what he does best; dress women - and dress them beautifully. He has a true love for women. He has a love for women, and a love for details. The details that matters. Only the essential is left at Lanvin. A real fashionista can spot a Lanvin dress miles away, and I believe that is what makes a good designer - a touch that's unmistakable. There's really lots of great dresses out there. But my dream dress is still a Lanvin. 

The future is now

Apparently reptile patterens are the new black. According to Alexander Mcqueen. He really got a inventive mind and creativity. He always amaze his clients. Me included. That is why I think he's one of our time greatest designers. The shoes are quite odd and to crazy for my taste. It's clear that the shoes in this show are show pieces that will never get in the stores.
