Frankie Morello Spring/Summer 2011

-frankie-morello-spring-2011-rtw.jpg

Frankie Morello brought us a sensual yet casual collection at Milan Fashion Week where the models worked beach blown hair, flirted with the photographers and shook what their momma gave them! This collection screams I am sexy, laid back and relaxed.

Models smoked cigarettes and drank beer as they walked the sandy path. Designers Maurizio Modica and Pierfrancesco Gigliotti said the mise en scene fell somewhere "between mirage and reality" for their spring/summer 2011 collection. Denim met chiffon in a jean miniskirt with a long cream train, or in breast-revealing tops over micro-shorts and sexy cut outs. And if they felt a piece was in an expected shape, they stitched it on to the models in a rather unconventional fashion.

By far my favorite show of the season. Full stop.

House of Holland Spring 2011 RTW

Disco is alive and well at Henry Holland's Spring 2011 House of Holland RTW show. You certainly don't go to a Holland show expecting the most wearable looks but you know you will be able to purchase some solid pieces with loads of funk and flare. Although Henry took the 70's look much too literal in my opinion, I must say I do really think a couple of the denim dresses above are pretty groovy man.

Twenty8Twelve Spring 2011 RTW

Sienna and Savannah Miller's Spring collection from Twenty8Twelve is supposed to portray girl from the fifties-era who has traveled around the globe to locations famous for having sandy deserts. While this collection is highly retailable it also seems a bit like stuff you'd find for a bargain in a thrift store. Possibly their inspo was really Erin Wasson?

Richard Chai Spring 2011 RTW

--ricahrd-chai-spring-2011-rtw.jpg

As much as Richard Chai would love to tell us he did not go 90's with his new collection, it's clear he was inspired by the 90's. This new collection reminds me of a clean Courtney Love. Imagine the fashionista she could of been minus the drugs during the dawn of my fashion following. You should expect breezy sheer pieces, chambray palazzo pants and soft minimalism. Perfect for a chic afternoon on the yacht or martinis with the girls. The gentle flow this entire collection carries is refreshing.
