[tiffany]

a lot of it is very pretty but I liked the last spring collection so much more

 

[pradaromance]

I LOVE THIS!

the brooch closures on the vests/cardigans
that cream & pink flower print long gown
the prints, lace, and emboidery

the only downfall, the bags...they are nice but the 1st one looks like a bigger version of the dolce bags for fall/winter 04 & the second one is basically a prada bag with a sequined material put on it.

i like it

There's something about blumarine that captivates me.. I think its because it's perfect running in a field barefoot, messy haired, mud spattered, sexy chic!

As usual, fabulous.

It's absolutely fabulous. I am definetly feeling the wildness and colourfullness of the prints and the Turkish theme slightly peaking through all those glitters and flowers.

And as a huge fan of huge beautifull sunglasses, I say:

Amazing. I love it all.

Blumarine: Anna Molinari just may be Milan’s biggest hippie, always favoring a rich boho look suited to Talitha Getty, Stevie Nicks or other soulful divas of yore. For her spring Blumarine collection, Molinari turned to the dark continent of Africa. But don’t expect Masai warriors or tribal flourishes. This girl is more the adventurous colonial sort, who’d be happy to carry on her kind of missionary work in Rick’s Cafe.

Molinari opened the show with a series of African souvenir prints. Though cute in their novelty, they were a little too close to Prada for comfort. That misstep aside, the rest of the collection was pure Molinari. Flowering bougainvillea and leopard spots mixed beautifully when printed together on turquoise or fuchsia silk and cut into flowing dresses, either knee-length or floor-sweeping, topped by cropped safari jackets with mirrored embroidery or mosaic-patterned knits, sometimes with leopard-printed fur trim. On the softer side, there were white muslin dresses, all flounced and tucked, or fluttery-sleeved blouses paired with silver paillette skirts, all cinched with Berber belts in antique silver. Molinari called the collection Desert Rose, and what a lovely bloom it was.

Somehow it seems more..I don't know..tastefully done..

A bit too bohemian but I like it , as always.

It's not my style, but I it nonetheless!

I really like the layering of clashing prints and the use of leopard skin. The little jackets are adorable too.

I def. agree!
I love most of the looks here...I can't stop looking at the pictures. I'm not usually a huge fan of leopard print, but I like the way it looks on the sheer belted top.

 

[Atelier]

The intricacy is outstanding. Very nice!

 

[oceanharlot]

wow... i think i finally found a brand that really really appeals to me. love how the busy prints are mixed with sparkle to make a very sexy, unique, complicated look.

I can definetly see how everything can be customized to my own look
