A "Simple" Dinner With Few Friends: Stella Mccartney Evening Collection

I have to admit itwhen I heard the news of a dinner presentation of a collection, I immediately said : Ok, it will simply be a presentation as the othersthe usual outfit,the usual guests, the usual tablethe usual catering.
But what surprised me was the fact that what everybody was expecting was the same i was expecting too, but it wasn't like this.
A Flash Mob was set up. The music startsthe models / guests get up and dance to the sound of Ronnie Scott's Jazz Orchestra; Stella's friends, KateShalom HarlowAmber Valletta and Alexa, obviously Chungperform a  choreography by Blanca Li, with
 a classic by Led Zeppelin.
Everybody wore the outfits of the new Collection, simple and clean shapes, fresh, new and sporty cuts;
laser-cut lace tops and pantscolored block prints to emphasize feminine lines, and exaggerated volumes as well as jewelry.

Front Row at Marni Fall Winter 2012 2013

It was the first i attended the Marni fashion show, and attending it in the
front row was such an experience, also because i have my friend Anh next to me!
If you read or look at the pictures in a magazine, you will never ever see how really the coat, the fabric, the texture is, you will always have a simple idea in your mind of what you think the outfit is, but you are still not completely sure.
Marni this season focused on the structure of the coat: capes, half-waisted and low-waisted coats, and double-breasted waist coat; and as usual fabrics ( even if with less prints )  were the central point of the collection:
pencil-ish flowers and leaves.
A little bit too less Marni than usual but 
always impeccably perfect.

STRAMILANO : Antonio Marras Fall Winter 2012 2013



Just a few but incisive words.
Once arrived everything started with Jun Miyake's Lilies in the Valley.
A really comfortable and relaxed atmosphere.
Amazing brocades on superb hand cutted coats. Raglan sleeves: my favourite. 
We can easily find Marras's Sardinian touch in the prints, but what captured more my attention was the 
black short half - waisted coat  with dark green fur on the downside part.
