Milan Spring/Summer 2006 Wrap Up II

<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Phew~ Long day today. Going to multiple classes trying to decide which teacher is better is very hard work. Thank god it is friday tomorrow. Anyway, its already like 10.34pm right now so I'm afraid I won't have time to regal you <em>all</em> the things happening on the Milan catwalk at the moment-I do need my beauty sleep, 11pm-3am is the best time for one's skin to rejuvenate you know! But here are two watch out for.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><strong>Moschino</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Following the previous season and their gorgeous ads, it seems like Moschino is picking up again. Their collection this season was powerful, feminine, very well put together and really a lot of fun to look at.</span><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/iamfashion5/Sept%202005/MSS06-Moschino1.jpg" /><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/iamfashion5/Sept%202005/MSS06-Moschino5.jpg" /></span></div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">They started off with this punk chic look that is offset by the very girly slinky lace trimmed dress underneath. And I just adore that shrug and skirt look, its just so amazingly put together!</span><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/iamfashion5/Sept%202005/MSS06-Moschino4.jpg" /><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/iamfashion5/Sept%202005/MSS06-Moschino6.jpg" /></span></div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">These two look is so bold and structured that it shouts of professional girl power. If I were to go to work, I would like to look like the model on the left. Professional yet feminine. </span><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/iamfashion5/Sept%202005/MSS06-Moschino9.jpg" /><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/iamfashion5/Sept%202005/MSS06-Moschino10.jpg" /></span></div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">Again very structured and bold. But these two are very mischievious too. Love the poofy sleeve, suspenders, flower and make-believe frills.</span><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/iamfashion5/Sept%202005/MSS06-Moschino8.jpg" /><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/iamfashion5/Sept%202005/MSS06-Moschino7.jpg" /></span></div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">And these two dresses are just very fun and pretty!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><strong>Prada</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">One simply must not sleep until one writes about Prada, right? Always 2 steps ahead, one never knows what to expect from Prada. And this time around, Muiccia did not disappoint. After the shock of black last season, this collection was all very white and nuetral. And the style very soft, simple and loose.</span><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/iamfashion5/Sept%202005/MSS06-Prada1.jpg" /><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/iamfashion5/Sept%202005/MSS06-Prada2.jpg" /></span></div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Loose not really being my style, I still rather like the dress on the right. Its very simple and subtlely stylish. And could this be the new way to hold our bags? </span></span><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/iamfashion5/Sept%202005/MSS06-Prada8.jpg" /><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/iamfashion5/Sept%202005/MSS06-Prada3.jpg" /></span></span></div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">Travelling Miuccia's way. The look on the left is absolutely <strong>gorgeous</strong>! If only we all could afford to travel with white tiny suitcases that prob can hardly fit anything and will undoubtly get irreversibly dirty in a nanosecond.</span><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/iamfashion5/Sept%202005/MSS06-Prada4.jpg" /><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/iamfashion5/Sept%202005/MSS06-Prada7.jpg" /></span></div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">More pretty loose dresses. The crumpled stocking was a nice touch too. It really suits with the whole, soft, loose theme.</span><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/iamfashion5/Sept%202005/MSS06-Prada9.jpg" /><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/iamfashion5/Sept%202005/MSS06-Prada10.jpg" /></span></div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">See how futuristic Prada is? And boy am I <strong>glad </strong>to see those hats. It is about time we all fashionably protect our face from the irreversible damage sunlight will have on our skin.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">Anyway, need my sleep now. Thank god its Friday!</span>

Milan Spring/Summer 2006 Wrap Up I

<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">MILAN has <em>finally</em> arrived. It is just too bad that Harrods Girl is going to miss gushing about her favourite fashion week because she doesn't have an internet connection in her new apartment yet. But I shall try my utmost to pay fitting tribute to the best of Milan despite my terribly busy first week of school. Ok, so lets start with the more "junior" brands. </span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Emporio Armani </strong></span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">There were a few random pieces, but overall I am loving this collection because everything is just so <strong>wearable</strong>! I definitely wouldn't mind owning a few of these pieces. In typical Armani fashion, it was sleek, chic and very elegant with a more street flair to it. </span></span><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/Sept%202005/MSS06-EmporioArmani1.jpg" /><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/Sept%202005/MSS06-EmporioArmani4.jpg" /></span></span></div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">A prime example of the few random pieces I mentioned. The skirt is gorgeous and the sailor shirt matched with satin pants creates just the right degree of contrast to make it intriguing. But if they hadn't been on the same catwalk together I wouldn't have known they were from the same collection. As I said-random.</span><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/Sept%202005/MSS06-EmporioArmani5.jpg" /><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/Sept%202005/MSS06-EmporioArmani6.jpg" /></span></div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">The others were much more coherant. Like here where similar types of materials are used to create contrast. And both are just beautiful. The very picture of a very chic young lady shopping the streets.</span><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/Sept%202005/MSS06-EmporioArmani2.jpg" /><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/Sept%202005/MSS06-EmporioArmani7.jpg" /></span></div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">Here the aforementioned young ladies are ready for a night out about town. </span><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/Sept%202005/MSS06-EmporioArmani8.jpg" /><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/Sept%202005/MSS06-EmporioArmani3.jpg" /></span></div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">The definition of Armani chic. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"><strong>D&G</strong></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">This collection is<em> </em>very pretty, feminine and romantic.While the color palette is all very innocent white and pale blue, the collection is most definitely not. It will take a very classy (and brave) girl indeed to wear them in public and not appear skanky.</span></span><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/Sept%202005/MSS06-DandG2.jpg" /><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/Sept%202005/MSS06-DandG3.jpg" /></span></span></div><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">But perhaps its all just for the catwalk. Maybe in reality one wears a slip underneath the white dress and that ripped bodice is detachable. That would make them really gorgeous!</span></span><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/Sept%202005/MSS06-DandG5.jpg" /><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/Sept%202005/MSS06-DandG1.jpg" /></span></span></div><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Ditto for these two. Or am I just begin too conservative here?</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"><strong>Marni</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Ok, so Marni is most definitely <em>not </em>a junior brand, I'm just putting it here. Anywho, this was a very typical Marni collection with big jackets cinched at the waist, loose dresses and boxy jackets. </span></span><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/Sept%202005/MSS06-Marni1.jpg" /><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/Sept%202005/MSS06-Marni2.jpg" /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/Sept%202005/MSS06-Marni4.jpg" /><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/Sept%202005/MSS06-Marni8.jpg" /><br /></div></span></span><div align="left"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">These jackets are all very typically Marni, but what I'm LOVING most are those <strong>belts</strong>! Those belts are just amazing!</span></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/Sept%202005/MSS06-Marni7.jpg" /><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/Sept%202005/MSS06-Marni5.jpg" /></span></span></div><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">In fact, Consuelo Castiglioni is just a GENIUS at accessories! Ok maybe not perfectly displayed on these pictures since there's only one necklace, but if you look at the whole collection yourself you'll agree too. </span><br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/Sept%202005/MSS06-Marni9.jpg" /><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/Sept%202005/MSS06-Marni10.jpg" /></span></div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">And the bright vibrant colors and patterns used in this collection is just <em>so</em> refreshing after seeing so many nuetral palettes on the other catwalks. </span></span>

I've waited until now to tell you guys because I wanted to devote a whole post on the fabulous designer of that jacket- the most-talented <strong>Ted Baker</strong>!</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><br /></div></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5283/727/320/nytimes-me21.JPG" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" />Walking around Union Square in SF, I came across Ted Baker and decided to check it out with Pete (the photographer). The people there were really nice and actually let us take pictures inside the store (some stores are <em>so</em> picky about that). Anyway, I absolutely fell in <em>love</em> with Ted Baker. His designs are very <strong>chic </strong>and <strong>unique</strong>. And his <strong>tailoring</strong>, his tailoring is <strong>perfect</strong>!<br /></span><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5283/727/1600/ted%20baker-white%20shirt.jpg"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5283/727/320/ted%20baker-white%20shirt.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">So perfect in fact that I could not resist but buy this very classical white shirt. I'm not sure if you can see it, but besides the excellent cutting, the details of this shirt is <em>exquisite</em>. The shirt has subtle striped jacquered pattern and the "buttons" on the sleeve are actually 3 white ties (although they do become annoying when you wear it for longer), its gorgeous! Here are a few more gorgeous pieces from their site I selected:<br /></span><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5283/727/1600/ted%20baker-belted%20jacket2.jpg"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5283/727/320/ted%20baker-belted%20jacket2.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"> A very stylish way to stay warm this winter.<br /></span><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5283/727/1600/ted%20baker-brown%20cardigan2.jpg"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5283/727/320/ted%20baker-brown%20cardigan2.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"> Love this cardigan. Also note the velvet bow on the denim. <em>That </em>is just very cute indeed.<br /></span><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5283/727/1600/ted%20baker-floral%20halter1.jpg"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5283/727/320/ted%20baker-floral%20halter1.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></span> <p align="left"></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">This halter looks awesome by itself, but the floral pattern also makes it great for layering.</span></p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><p align="center"></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><img src="http://iamfashion.mypicgallery.com/iamfashionmonday/ted-baker-brown-plait-bag_large.jpg" /></span></p><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">The perfect match for all 3 outfits!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">And does anyone else notice how Ted Baker's collection bears a resemblance to Paul Smith? Apparently, in London, these two are competing brands. And while Paul Smith looks to conquer Asia, Ted Baker is set to conquer the US. Although I must say, I think Ted's design are much more interesting and original than Paul Smith. </span><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">Ted is going to be opening a new store in Chicago soon. I cannot wait to check it out!! </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">Ps. For those interested, no, I regrettably did not buy the denim jacket in the end. It was a bit over my budget-although I did not think then that it would come back to haunt me quite so much. Perhaps they will have it on sale in the Chicago store. . . </span></p>

Skin Scan

<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">On our last shopping trip before we head back to our respective colleges, Harrods Girl and I went to a Facial/Spa Salon to look at Dermalogica, the skin care brand that sells exclusively at skincare salons such as the one we went to. There, we filled in a survey and had a free skin care consultation, which included a free <strong>face scan</strong>. The face scanner basically looks at your skin under ultra violet light. And it gives a very accurate picture of what your skin condition is really like. It is able to to reveal pigmentation, dehydration, sensitivity, sun damage, congestion and dead skin cells. </span><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5283/727/320/skinscanner12.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">Basically, you just stick your head under the clothe and into the box. Inside there is a mirror for you to see your own reflection under ultra violet light and a hole opposite so the expert can take a look as well and explain what everything means. If you have near perfect skin, I am assuming that you would look like this lady below.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5283/727/320/skinscanner3.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">But in reality it is not such a pretty experience. We are no expert, but from our combined experience, we do know that patches of purple means dry skin and white means dead skin (not make-up, this machine goes beyond the surface of the skin, so one doesn't need to remove make-up to have a face scan-super convenient!). </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">Anyways, even though it wasn't a very pleasent experience (reality often isn't), we highly recommend a face scan, because it really reveals all the problem areas of the skin one has neglected or was unaware of. Better late then never right?</span></p>

Shopping with Mother

<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">During the weekend, Barneys Girl and I flew back to Chicago and London respectively for a new school term, (sigh, where <em>did</em> the summer holidays go?) So before I left, I spent some quality mother-daughter bonding time with my mother doing well, obviously shopping. It's fun to shop in nice stores knowing that at least <em>one</em> of you can afford the things.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">So off we went to the wonderful fashion department stores of Hong Kong. First we hit <strong>Lane Crawford</strong>, where we were lured towards the <strong>Chloe</strong> section, and I was even more amazed that they had one Chloe Paddington left! After explaining it is more rare to see Paddingtons available in shops than to seeing rabbits hopping along the road, my mum was very impressed and tried the bag. Unfortunately, neither her nor I anticipated how heavy Paddingtons really were! So being sensible people that we are, we decided to purchase a Chloe Silverado instead (we bought a red one):</span><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><img src="http://iamfashion.mypicgallery.com/iamfashion11/chloe-silverado_large.jpg" /></span></div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Then, we hit <strong>Miu Miu,</strong> where my mum was thinking of buying an Hermes-lookalike. But I adviced against it, and we spotted a similar bag as shown below. I love how it looks so classy and classical in the sense that it would not go out of style unless neon-colored bags were suddenly 'in'. The one we bought is sort of a tube shape.</span><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><img src="http://iamfashion.mypicgallery.com/iamfashion11/miu-miu-bag_large.jpg" /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span></div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Afterwards, we went to <strong>Joyce</strong>, where my mum bought a <strong>Marni</strong> coat that she has been eyeing for awhile. It is the same as the one shown below except the one she bought is dark grey and light grey with a tint of silver. </span><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><img src="http://iamfashion.mypicgallery.com/iamfashion11/marni-coat_large.jpg" /></span></div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">I absolutely LOVE that coat -it is so easy to wear and match with clothes. I can't wait to borrow it this winter!</span>

Studded Bags I

<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The studds are not limited to the denim either. They are also quite prominent on bags this season too.
