Down the red carpet came Moschino Cheap & Chic‘s jet-setters,carrying bulky shopping and grouped into themes; first came the rockers, sporting military pants, gold chains, leather gloves, and, of course, mini guitar cases. Animal instincts were definitely on the brain; models wrapped in gigantic furs and leopard print dresses were also found in the collection. A little too much for your taste? The more refined items came with tweed jackets and print dresses again – very chic indeed. In another look made for the style daring, Rossella Jardini dressed her party girl in a pink dress with a humongous rose decorating the top. As the show’s finalem shout, the last model walked out in a sparkly shirt dress that said “Fashion Must Go On!”; a reference to the recession, perhaps? Whatever it might signify (or maybe nothing at all?), it is evident from this collection that in good times or bad, the Moschino Cheap & Chic girl keeps her chin up.

The Italian winter must be colder than we thought, for Prada’s F/W Collection was thick with billowing layers of knit, wool stockings, fur-lined leather and dark tweed. Twirl-begging A-line dresses donned frills and prints while mustard yellow, tan, and geometric patterns updated a 70’s aesthetic with pointed-rim glasses. Prim and proper Prada was (with a naturally quirky edge), emphasized by slick and simple high-styled chignons.

Vivienne Westwood Red Label
Never dull, deliciously gaudy colors daubed the F/W 2010 Collection, imbuing plaid, pinstripes and solids with flair on the catwalk. The line was thick with heavy layers, angular cuts and voluminous texture, comprised of looks accented with whisky flyaway bouffants fit for tea with the Mad Hatter. Purple suits, pink coral tights and the odd apron epitomize the funky and endearing Westwood-ian aesthetic that makes Wonderland come to life, just in time for Tim Burton’s new film premiere.

Burberry Prorsum
Christopher Bailey seduces us yet again with when sexy meets conservative in his F/W Collection. With a touch of color , thigh-high python and black-scaled leather boots and tons of fur, Bailey revamps basic outerwear in another Prorsum line to die for. Jackets ranged from classic thigh-grazing trenches and waist-length bombers to cropped volumes of fur-lined leather. The neutral and jewel-toned garments that peeked through were rich in texture, providing a fine contrast to the sheer black tights underneath the cropped cuts. Letting his designs speak for themselves, models rocked natural wind-blown hair as onlookers slowly turned green with envy. Check out the entire collection here.

If the knitwear, fuzzy fur, and animal prints aren’t enough of a hint, a runway enveloped with fall leaves and adorned with tree branches, along with head ornaments along the lines of antlers, should be screaming Unique‘s vision to you: amidst the wilderness emerges a female hunter, raised amongst the deer, befriended by the wolves. Well, perhaps that was the work of my imagination, but this timely fall collection is indeed somewhat a call to the wild, with knits, bulky jackets, long sweaters, fur-trimmed leather jackets and white shirts printed with pictures of foxes and such. But Unique’s isn’t just a woman of the wild; she is also a hunter, it seems, or a scout, a soldier. Also present this season were military suits, badges and blazers. She isn’t entirely masculine or feral either – returning to her femininity as she throws on sheer dresses beneath her long jackets and fur. It will be interesting to see how the fans translate such savageness into high street-appropriate chic come this next winter.
