Milan Fashion Week Faves... Fendi

Fendi, with Karl Largerfeld at the helm, has turned into quite a veritable fashion house. For Spring/Summer 2011 strong silhouettes featured in an array of bright, dazzling colours and prints.

The accessories were equally impressive with a range of gorgeous and chic handbags and some crazy cool sunglasses (circa mid-80's style). With Prada and Giles (in London) also pushing a trend for out-there shades I am willing to take a gamble by saying that bold statement sunglasses will be big next season!

Milan Fashion Week Faves... Bottega Veneta

The Bottega Veneta show had a monochrome theme running throughout for Spring/Summer 2011. Black, white and grey featured heavily with a few pops of colour along the way.

Luxurious fabrics adorned everything from pretty and simple capped sleeve dresses to loose fitting sumptuous jumpsuits in voluminous silk.

Milan Fashion Week Faves... Versace

I never thought I'd say it but for Spring/Summer 2011 Versace was one of my favourite designers to show at Milan Fashion Week. The obligatory garish dress did feature but on the whole the collection was a lot more wearable with a much more interesting colour palette.

Clear PVC featured on a few pieces including a black leather zipped dress (see above) giving a sexy glimpse into what was being worn underneath (in this case nothing).

Milan Fashion Week Faves... Prada

If the Prada show could be summed up in one word it would have to be COLOUR! Colour made a bold, strong statement on everything from simple v-neck dresses to boxy boyish jackets.

The shoes in the show were also incredible with some creeper-esque brogues making an appearance on quite a few occasions. The sunglasses too are to die for although I'm not so sure they would work as an everyday item.
