milan fashion week-Gucci

People was blown away by Frida Giannini's Spring Gucci Collection. It reminded me a lot of Gottex, with its fabulous designs and colors mostly in yellow, black and white with splashes of hot pink.

milan fashion week-prada fairytales

Prada went for a 'dark fairytale' spring theme in Milan Fashion Week, today. Her collection began with a navy blue long cardigan, skirt and knee high socks, then quickly morphed into fairyland.

The fairy designs were paired with contrasting colorful plaid stockings and dark black eye makeup. Check out more pictures from the show after the jump.
