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.

Vintage glamour at its best– Giorgio Armani reworks the fascination with the Orient of yore and dramatic silhouettes of the 1930s to reveal a modern-day couture equivalent that will be sure to dazzle the eye for more than one season. A favorite detail from the collection is the winged sleeves, shoulders and pant hems, practically an ode to pagoda rooftops. Hence, the runway look of the day embodies those elements — just when I was thinking that a classic suit jacket could no longer be reworked into something fabulous, Armani proves me wrong! I love the hand fan print, and the curved skirt hemline gives it the proper couture touch.
