There were several designers from the Milan fashion week that stood out to me, but for various reasons. Mainly, because I either really liked their collections, or that I really did not like the collections they presented.

The first collection that I liked and would totally wear was the La Perla Spring ready to wear collection. The collection was primarily consisted of white, black and the use of blue. Overall the design was clean and natural in appearance. Almost as if it were effortless. Some of the pieces were dresser than others, given that they probably had some added sparkle with a beading or sequin detail or pattern to them. There was a great use of a 'Jesus' sandle type heeled shoe, that went well with the natural white looks, that really served in compliment to the garment.

The next designer that I liked was Salvatore Ferragamo. What really made it for me was the use of silky, flowy fabrics which helped create a clean, classy and very chike look. Alot of the garment involved draping, which helped add body to the garment without adding the appearance of addtional body to the actual model. There were not as many individual pieces as some of the other collections, but that was because the collection was very simple and streamline in effect. While the draping and cuts appeared simple, a bold touch of color, and in the case with one very covered dress, an all over tiger print was added to make standout pieces. There were very few accessories, but the shoes were very cute and simple as well, being strappy heels, giving a light feel to the foot, not at all making it seem heavy, which would have taken away from the lightness and ease of the overall outfits.

One of the collections that I rather did not like was the Marni collection. It was to funkadoodle for my personal taste. I will however give it one thing, it definately caught my eye and was fun to got through, however it took a while to appreciate the creativity behind it. There was a great use of dots, stripes, and all sorts of bold patterns. There were alot of pieces with a whole bunch of accessories all hodge podged together to create looks. Alot of the patterns were very reminiscent of the 70's. After looking through the collection I no longer was completly taken back by it, but found that if dissected, each look contained various pieces that were great, but I personally would not put them all together, but thats probably the designers overall aim:) Basically from head to toe it was all to much!
