Dolce & Gabbana Fall / Winter 2012

 

 

 

What I want most from the 2012 Dolce & Gabbana Fall/Winter show is one of those jeweled headbands. Why? Because I want to feel like a Sicilian princess. Over 70 looks were showed in an over the top production that was oozing with sex appeal. There was lace, ruffles, and jeweled earrings the size of plums. I loved how most of the looks featured black, white, and gold; these are colors I wear in abundance. The finale was an army of models stampeding down the runway in black and gold embroidered uniforms. When they started walking, they just kept coming. There couldn't have been a model left in the city of Milan. I watched this season's show on a live stream from my bed... Next season, I'm going to need an invite.

Fendi Fall / Winter 2012

 

 

 

Who does fur better than Fendi? What I love most is that Karl Lagerfeld and Silvia Venturini Fendi keep the collection dripped in excessive indulgence. I mean it's pure luxury. (Did I mention the show's invitation was made of stingray skin?) Almost every look of their 2012 Fall/Winter collection featured fur. The show was full of texture with a little tribal thrown in at the end. There were exotic skins, corduroy, and I don't know what the belts are made of, but I want one. The models seemed to have a futuristic feel about them... I think it was the yellow tinted shades and the white eyeshadow. Two summers ago I took a shopping trip to Rome. I visited the Fendi Palazzo and spent the entire afternoon rolling around in the upstairs fur room. A sales associate came around to see if I needed any help. I think the look on my face said enough and she left me alone to entertain myself. True story.
