{Fashion Week} Part 3: Milan F/W RTW 13

The mode in Milan - reserved chic, beautiful coats and dresses. Tons of Italian traditional sex appeal and lady-like sophistication.

To see Part 1 NY & Part 2 London go here

* ETRO

A Kaleidoscope backdrop offered a clue to the hard edged collection. Veronica's influenced showed up in her collection from cathedral vaults to cathedral ceilings, 19th century ethnic textiles and Russian ceramics. 

* BOTTEGA VENETA

Pure Romance is how I describe Thomas Maier's collection this season. His use of "wool" fabric taken to a whole new dimension, sculptured sleeves, exposed seams, volume with pleats - pretty and polished.

* JILL SANDER

The set had a polyhedron carved into it which was meant to represent the cut of a diamond. Timelessly elegant is probably best to describe this collection. Jackets were elongated and slightly cinched at the waist. Buckled shoes with a big heel. Her fabrics were mostly structured using double faced felts and leather for outerwear.

*GIANFRANCO FERRE

Designers Federico Piaggi and Stefano Citron' s show popped with constructed layered looks. Sharply tailored coats and a focus on the waist, shirts tucked into waists and oversized belts.

Some of my favorite Accessories from show.
