With one foot in front of the other, Milan effortlessly brought style to the third stop of Fashion week.  The A/W ‘14 collections that graced our screens and magazines had me wishing it were September already.  Day 1 and Gucci’s Frida Giannini dominated the catwalk with pastels reviving that old familiar 90’s trend Versace adored. Although the actual outfits themselves looked like they’ve been thieved from Twiggy’s 60’s wardrobe, as the models adorned parma violet fur coats, belted trench coats, embellished shift dresses and knee high boots labeled as boyish romanticism.
 A collection (and a love/hate relationship) I won’t be forgetting anytime soon is Moschino’s ‘Fast Food Fast Fashion’ inspired range designed by Jeremy Scott. McDonald’s is practically a million miles away from the size 6/8 models that showcase each new design, yet the trademark red and yellow brand was a hit at Milan with models wearing boxy cardigan-style tailored suits and oversized knits. Scott carried on this kitsch theme unveiling his Spongebob Squarepants coordinates and Hershey wrapper gowns. Don't get me wrong, these designs are incredible, but you won't catch me down my local dressed to the nines in a Budweiser inspired cloaked dress. The line ended with Lindsey Wixson in what appeared to be a wedding dress printed with nutrition facts, a spectacularly mad, obscure and fitting ending to Scott’s debut which I found myself loving for exactly those reasons.
Like something you’d find within the forested wonderland of Snow White or amongst the ruins of Ann Radcliffe’s A Sicilian RomanceDolce and Gabbana presented a scene of fairytale magic. They elegantly showcased their medieval raised waists flared gowns, brocade jackets and shift dresses patterned with dramatic florals, sequins, jewels and imaginative embellishments of woodland creatures. Very similar to the earthy parkas, mossy green toned shifts and rose garland necklaces sported by Alberta Ferretti and the contrasting printed animal motifs of Au Jour Le Jour.  It seems Mother Nature is this year’s style icon for A/W.
