Next up…Milan Fashion Week!! After witnessing an amazing scene with unparalleled energy in New York (read what I wore for NYFW here!), I flew to Milan. I always LOVE going to Milan during fashion month because it’s a city where I find so many new creative ways to style myself. What’s more, I’ve been trying to upgrade my own fashion by wearing different hairstyles to suit the vibe of my outfits!! Here are some of the best looks I wore for MFW!
Oversized with a Nod to Y2K
Let’s face it, oversized never gets old! There’s a reason why fashion keeps going back to it. And, from the runways I’ve seen, skinny jeans are still left out of the chat for the time being. Though, that’s perfectly fine with me, because what’s most important for me is the type of silhouettes I love to create. This look is one of my classic favourites!! I wore a body-fitting Balmain top with low waist parachute pants (they’re mens from GU store). The hi-lo styling technique is one that if done right looks so amazing (and yes, that midriff is a not-so-subtle nod to Y2K!) For me however, the Loewe boots are the real scene-stealers. Perhaps a bit controversial for some. But, I LOVE THEM. I also love the energy this look gives me!
Animal Prints Forever
For the Robert Cavalli runway, I wore this STUNNING skirt two-piece from the designer. Can we just take a moment for this massive A-line skirt situation!!! And what’s more, the animal-skin effect that’s embossed in the fabric gives an oompf of coolness to the feminine look! It was dangerous to wear by just how amazing I felt moving in a skirt like that. To finish this look, I wore Alexander McQueen sunglasses, and Robert Cavalli shoes and minibag.
Patterns to Your Advantage
One major element that I was keen not to miss about being in Milan was to showcase a look with PATTERN, PRINT and COLOUR! If there’s a fashion city that is number one for pattern designs it’s Milan. This insane dress from La Double J, was perfection for me. Just look how the bright pattern of the dress just envelops my body. One of my favourite uses of a pattern on a garment to date!! Best believe, I’m not leaving crumbs this fashion month. Which looks from Milan Fashion Week were your favourite?
