22.09.10 Milan

There was Phantom of the Opera drama at Francesco Scognamiglio today; the first model breezed down the catwalk, ghostlike, in a semi-sheer, white shirt-dress. By combining classic Victorian detailing and risqué cut away panels, Scognamiglio sent a suggestive message. The use of nudes, purples and black intensified the collection. While the sharp, considered tailoring exaggerated the silhouette in a dramatic flourish. He finished with a mesmerizing champagne gazar and black lace gown, a replica of the one he created for Lady Gaga.

Another head-turner today in Milan was Gucci. Contradicting the current trend of all-white opening looks, Frida Giannini opted for splashes of exotic colours, with classic gold accents. The bold colour palette is refreshing, and because of the clean, sleek silhouettes, it is not over-powering.
