Milan Fashion Week SPring 2023 MFW SS23 Runway Trends, Womenswear, Menswear

Milan Fashion Week Spring 2023 Milan Fashion Week is more substantive than NYFW and LFW while covering the same trends and extending some from the Fall collections. With the exception of Bluemarine, I’d say it is still rather underwhelming and unremarkable. There isn’t anything from the looks I find to be stand-out among the mass-appeal…

Mens Fall 2022

Men’s Fall 2022 is the most exciting season for menswear since the dandy movement years ago– as menswear has remained unchanged for well over a century, it’s high time we have at least a fraction of the options our female counterparts have in fashion. It’s about time menswear shed the basic-bitch mold it cast itself…

Best Prada Monolith Boot Dupes

Ever since they stole the show at Prada’s Fall 2019 Runway Show, I’ve had these Prada Monolith boots on my mind and knew I’d have to find a dupe given they’re almost $2,000. I finally have found the perfect dupe for the Prada Monolith and Prada Monolith Tall combat boots…minus the pouches of course, but…

Prada Fall 2019

Prada Fall 2019 killed it in the boot department- those combat boots with and without straps and pouches are to die for solely for the sole. I’m sure the shades will look great on some and ridiculous on most, but they’re unique and cool nonetheless. The prints and appliqués definitely made the garments pop off…

Blackface Fashion Faux-Pas

Following Prada’s rather controversial monkey doll and it’s speedy removal from displays, Gucci missed the message and released a Blackface turtleneck. Somehow, Katy Perry managed to join in on the scandal, and created a pair of slippers. At first, I wasn’t too familiar with the imagery although remember learning about it in school, but at…

Bottega Veneta Fall/Winter 2017

Seventies influences met with a western flair- layered contrasting colors and textures with knits, graphic tees, creepy faces photo prints, ascots, double breasted jackets, ski masks…there was a lot going on in the Vivienne Westwood Fall/Winter 2017 collection. The runway makeup featured both understated nude faces, lips, and eyes; and insane runway beauty looks with […]

Prada Spring/Summer 2017 Menswear

The Prada Spring/Summer 2017 Menswear collection was, similarly to Gucci’s, inspired by travel, although with a more modern take- packers geared up in gray button ups, straight leg pants, turtle necks, and sandals.  Three quarter length coats, windbreakers- “one thing’s for certain Dorothy- we’re not in Kansas and this ain’t Glamping hunty” (No wonder she…

Swags Swag: Prada Milan Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016 MFW FW16

The Prada Milan Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016 fashion show kept some elements from its SS16 collection: the 50’s vibe, maybe a touch of the beauty- the hair, and digressed from the goth chic look into this more colorful version with textiles, still life paintings turned photo prints… Clown boots, lace up calf-high boots, Mary-Janes, corsets, capes,…
