#3 What are the Experts talking about at NY times!

From New York to Milan!

That is what has been doing the rounds on one of the best Fashion news broadcasters in America- The New York times. One of my favorite blogger on NY times Cathy Horyn has been constantly on the move with the shows happening in Milan- one of the major fashion capital in the world. And when I think of Milan, I think of on of my favorite designer brands- VERSACE!

Donatella Versace took to the catwalk after the presentation of her Versace collection at Milan Fashion Week spring 2012.

 Cathy Horn reported that this collection seemed to be inspired from the sea world of mermaids, shells, sea horses. She's kind of a no nonsense reporter but I feel she has her fovorites. She's can be really critical about her comments at times but I like how she states the facts of what she observes. Her report seems first hand and detailed. For Versace's show she further states that "This was a Versace command performance, very far from the humdrum of Milan’s flapper girls and hot-rod prints. Donatella Versace seemed to have four ideas: the snappy suit with shorts, the mini gladiator dress with a constellation of gold studs, the mini goddess dress or suit with pleated panels and the many-hued goddess dress for big grown-up girls."

We can gauge that designers in Milan have said bye-bye to neon and electric colors, We're looking at the more mature, subtle colors, pastels, a whole lot of embroidery and embellishment to add that glamor to your garment. "The makeup and hair were impeccable, the platform sandals in clear plastic. Ms. Versace made the studs and the delicate sea creatures seem more like tattoos than decoration, with everything light and sophisticated."

But this is not all from the house of Versace for all you fashionistas! There's more! She just alaunched her new line of her DV One Cruise Watches which were completely different from her couture collection. These watches are sporty (again, a trend we're hoping to see next season) and colorful with prints!

                                                           

NY times blogger Eric Wilson reported that DV One Cruise, is a sporty, colorful watch that comes in several versions, one with a red face and blue and violet rubber straps, another with a blue face and yellow leather straps with an alligator pattern.

“This is Versace,” she said. “Of course, we wanted to use prints, but this is a watch so I used color instead.”
