Blumarine collection for Autumn/ Winter 2010/ 2011 includes absolutely fabulous zebra prints that I immediately fell in love with. These black-and-white patterns have been used to make not only dresses, skirts and blouses but also coats, scarves, leggings, handbags, bracelets and even high boots!!! Perfect, perfect, perfect!!!
Besides zebra prints, there were lots of leopard ones that looked beautiful as well. There were no bright hues but blacks and pastels were in plenty.
Designs were peculiar to the brand and included strapless minidresses from light fabrics, some with long flowing trains, warm sweatdresses, stylish leather jackets and trench coats. The most notable detail in the collection was the fringing – everywhere, from skirts to handbags, and crystals embellished on pretty feminine outfits.
Talking about the collection Cerf de Dudzeele declared:
J’adore it all! It’s for the kind of girl a man wants to follow in the street.”
And you know what, men do like girls in such outfits – stylish, womanly and a bit provocative!

Everyone knows that women from Asian countries dress differently from the way we do. They have to wear long, sometimes floor-sweeping, body-covering black robes called abayas to cover their clothing in public.
Nowadays few of them want to wear one and the same design of abaya all the time. To solve the problem a few international designers decided to try themselves in this, earlier unknown for them, sphere of creation.
It was the process of constant learning of Islamic traditions, customs and fashion tendencies. It was not easy. But the result is fantastic. Abayas made by designers were chic and sophisticated, adorned with rhinestones and made of luxury materials. These new styles of abayas were intended for rich Muslim women who wanted to stand out of the crowd and always look fabulous.
The Saks Fifth Avenue Riyadh and Jeddah fashion show was held in George V Hotel in Paris. It was opened by a horsewoman in a flowing, made-to-measure Islamic gown atop a snorting steed rearing on its hind legs. The spectacle was great.
Then followed the show of 22 abayas customized by international designers specially invited for that. Among the attendees were Saudi Arabian royal family, participating designers Felipe Oliveria Baptista, Adam Jones, Anne Valérie Hash and Martine Sitbon.
Designers who used their talents to work on the terrific abayas, which are required in Saudi Arabia, included Christian Dior’s artistic director John Galliano, French luxury labels Nina Ricci and Jean Claude Jitrois and Italian houses Blumarine and Alberta Feretti.

If you want classics look for Versace or Roberto Cavalli’s collections. For extravagancy go for Agatha Ruiz de la Prada’s work. In case you wish consistency Blumarine is the best choice for Autumn/Winter 2009-2010.
But before I start speaking about the line itself I’d like to say that the runway show was pretty unusual this year as Anna Molinary decided to create a special atmosphere to present her range of clothes.
The models were walking with the desiner’s own portraits on the background! At first I thought it was a bit tasteless but as the show began I realized it was a great idea! It was entertaining and well-done at the same time.
The collection was very consistent as I’ve already said. Sometimes we see lines full of items which are not related to each other in any way.

We have already observed two great Fashion Shows in London and New York and here there is Milan Fashion Week on the run now! Fabulous trends from the esteemed designers of the vogue industry! The gurus of trends have twisted pretty particularly at the Milan autumn/winter 2009/2010 catwalks.
Giorgio Armani looked to update 1980s fashion with glossy fabrics and shiny patent black caps and long gloves at his show.
“I wanted a strong, determined woman,” Armani was quoted as saying by Italian paper MF Fashion. “I played with proportion, with credits to the ’80s to define a new classic.”
Gucci’s collection also seemed a throwback to the 1980s. The clothes said to be inspired by “a glittering, glamorous time, when going out was a way of life.” The line was rooted in the style of fashion icon, Tina Chow.
Blumarine represented predominantly dark collection with the flashes of scarlet, leopard and grey tints. Long gloves, plenty of satin and ornamented necklaces were so characteristic for the Autumn/Winter 2009 Blumarine line.
“The ’80s movement has certainly moved across the pond. A strong shoulder is going to be an absolutely necessity for women and their wardrobes for the coming season.”
Gianfranco Ferre chose small waists and square shoulders together with a puffed shoulder bolero.
Roberto Cavalli fixed the short dresses and skirts and teamed them with very high skin-tight suede boots with steel heels.
“You need to attack in order to win. I have declared war on the (financial) crisis,” he said.
Cavalli is surely right! Fashion hits the crises! Beauty hits the crises!
