In their own words -Milano ss07 preview

[Lena]

wwd's spring summer 07 preview

"My upcoming collection vibrates with a strong sense of freedom and an evident sporty streak. It's an attitude that lives in harmony with the timeless desire of femininity, glamour and sensuality." -- Gianfranco Ferre

"This collection is about a play on metallic reflections and the contrast of soft silhouettes and graphic lines. This long evening gown is illuminated by the use of new embroideries such as laminated acetate discs and plisse detailing."-- Donatella Versace for Versace

"Star Dust -- a simulacrum of electricity, romanticism and androgyny." --Veronica Etro for Etro

"It's all very Seventies -- the lights and colors of Studio 54. Think sequins, laminated fabrics, Lurex and lots of minidresses with plunging necklines." -- Anna Molinari for Blugirl

"Easy chic."---Giorgio Armani

 

[Lena]

"Spring is what I call Amazon couture -- a wild and free appeal obtained through typical couture shapes and fabrics. Silhouettes are soft and cut away from the body, colors rich and saturated with lots of black and powder pink in between." -- Alessandro Dell'Aqua

"This season I wanted to capture a very contemporary spirit for Pucci. Each piece was inspired by the iconic highlights from Emilio Pucci's archives, with a particular focus on the Sixties and Nineties." --Matthew Williamson for Pucci

"One key look: gaucho pants in suede with gold cutout details under a voluminous yet sensual pleated blouse with Chantilly lace." --Roberto Cavalli

 

[Lena]

"Color, shapes and prints create a glamorous city look with ethnic flourishes. Imagine the contrast between the glass and metal architecture of Rio de Janeiro and its surrounding lush vegetation of the Amazon forest." -- Graeme Black for Ferragamo

"At Moschino, we have the great fortune to be able to combine fun with fashion. We've played with looser proportions, a range of colors, materials and embroideries." ---Rossella Jardini, creative director, Moschino

"The collection features a net opposition of female and male elements, best represented by muted tones with bright accents, contrasting materials and graphic silhouettes."-- Anna Molinari
