Nice look - the leggings look like fish scales on closer inspection!

She wears lots of big shiny accessories this season.

Milan Season: Buyers Say Right for the Times
MILAN — Italian designers spooned out the right fashion medicine for turbulent economic times: colorful and upbeat collections loaded with great accessories, retailers said.

“I feel that Milan put on a very optimistic season,” said Sarah Rutson, fashion director at Hong Kong-based Lane Crawford. “Everyone is mindful of the economic situation that we are all facing. In Asia, our last economic crisis is still very fresh in our memories, and in those years, we found that spending was really on special pieces, strong statements, glamour and feel-good items.”

Sarah Rutson, fashion director, Lane Crawford, Hong Kong: “To offset the mood of darkness of the economy, our customer will be looking for that sense of joy and light in their purchases. There were so many themes: sexuality and soft bondage, zippers and multiple bras on view; Eighties references; slashes and cutouts on dresses, and the global traveler-safari theme, along with beach references to shells and fish, in prints or accessories. Important details were degraded color finishes, a lot of fringes and tassels, real and printed python, gold, metallics and giant stone embellishment along with a multitude of sequins. Jewelry was a big statement with giant stones worn on the ears, neck and wrist. My favorite shows were: Burberry Prorsum, especially the sublime colors and dégradé trenchcoats and capes; Prada’s sensual and womanly take on the Fifties, with modern and crinkled fabrics; Marni, which continues to be a retailer’s dream, and Jil Sander’s take on tassels and the sexuality of the slashes.”
