shame is so in this season

milan

i have an aunt named milan who lives in brazil. i'd like to go to brazil right now. or milan for that matter.

oh right, fashion...


[prada] chiffon never looked so boring... or like sherbet.

wasn't a huge fan of prada spring 06. channelled the 80s a bit with the off the shoulder draping sleeves and the high waist belting. i know this is a bit sacreligious, but most of the line looked like "white tablecloth + 10 year old myanmarese seamstress = high fashion." not impressed.


[max mara] like a weight watchers commercial. and by weight watchers i mean anorexia.

i used to get max mara confused with bcbg max azria. but now i know the difference. bcbg max azria makes pretty party dresses. max mara is insane. his spring line is full of loose fitting horizontal striped bathing suits (which make even the waifiest of waifs look like pregastricbypass star jones), adapted mens pants (aka heavily cinched at the waist), and cameltoe inducing jumpsuits. what? is right.


[versace] where's the logo? oh yeah, right there.

no surprise at versace. classic ostentatious gold that calls for a skin at least four shades darker than your blond highlights. threw a little blue in there just for kicks i guess. it was all very monte carlo, if you drive a ferrari and lounge on a yacht.


[moschino] i heart, indeed.

moschino has by far the cutest rendition of the 50s and 60s i've seen. figure flattering, slightly updated cuts in black and white as well as playful colors defined this spring line. a little bit heavy on the hearts and bows and ruffles, but in this case, the cheese was in the form of a smooth and creamy bechamel. yum.


[d&g] victorian hooker meets 90s grunge -- i dig.

d&g's spring 06 took white to a better place with flowy lace and corsets. and as uncomfortable as they are, corsets make you look good. i'm totally loving the new spin on the boxers and baggy jeans trend as they've replaced the boxers with lacey knickers. seriously hott.


[dolce & gabbana] love the white dress black tights look.


[dolce & gabbana] the most gorgeous offspring of a doily and a campanula.
