Milan Fashion Week: Gucci collection

When designer Frida Giannini has shown womanly silk dresses and a blouse with flower and vegetative prints in style of the fortieth within the framework of the first collection for fashion house Gucci, her creations became true “hits”.

In the future autumn season, having left ethnic motives of her summer collection, gifted designer again has returned to her own style as the basic inspiring moment. The designer has declared, that creation of a new autumn collection was impelled by biography of Lee Miller, a woman who started her career as a model and then became the photographer in Vogue.

Besides style of the 30s and 40s, with its abundance of dresses with high set waist and accent on shoulders, has found reflection in the new collection.

Giannini has concentrated her attention on silhouettes with fluffy shoulders and narrow, long sleeves, having added the note of feminity by deep low necks and a naked back - in traditional Gucci style. As the idea of the 40s became popular in this season again, dresses in that very style became the basis for the autumn collection.

Care for skinny models

France Health Ministry said that it will not ban skinny models from Paris to catwalk but will announce a voluntary document to make the fashion industry think of the health risks of being very thin.

Designers, model agencies and others involved in the fashion industry have been actively recruited for promoting of an exhausted look which critics say leads to eating disorders in young girls.

Some countries, for instance, Spain, Italy, Brazil and India have taken underweight models off their podiums because of concerns, which drew wide media attention after the deaths of two anorexic Latin American models in 2006.

In France fashion is a huge business. Luxury goods that are often advertised by young thin models which can be seen in posters and on podiums, account for a large export.
French fashion federation head said in January that Paris would not take additional measures to officially forbid very thin models appear in podiums as rules on their food were strict enough. However, concern remains.

The Paris city council voted some weeks ago to influence fashion show organizers to stop using thin girls but the Health Ministry said it was declarative step and it could not force the whole industry to change its habit

Summer Dresses

This summer let your legs show it all off with the hottest summer dresses yet. These dresses will make you feel sexy, confident, and more feminine than ever. This season is all about florals, colors, and different fabrics!

For a casual look, try off the shoulder jersey dresses which look absolutely adorable and elongate your legs. Pair this cute summer dress with a pair of peep toe pumps.

Babydoll dresses are super hot this season so make sure you get one, because you’ll look absolutely fabulous in one! Pair the babydoll dress with wedges, espadrilles, or pumps.

Flirty 50s styled dresses are still in and they look great during the day. Choose from a wide variety of 50s styled summer dresses in different colors and patterns such as floral which is super hot this summer.

Another summer dress I absolutely love is the wrap dress. It’s more for an evening look than casual, but if you get a colorful wrap dress with a cute pair of heels, it’ll look great anytime, anywhere!
