April has just begun and summer is around the corner. It is finally the time of the year time to refresh your wardrobe. Say good bye to your heavy winter coats and fur vests and say hello to the light weight clothes and the beautiful summer color palettes.
ITALY ALL THE WAY!!...My two very favorite runway shows for the Spring/Summer 2013 RTW collections were presented by the Italian fashion houses Dolce & Gabbana and Prada.
“Saluti da Taormina! Mare. Sole. Amore." (Greetings from Taormina! Sea. Sun. Love.).... a Sicilian wave inspired the SS 2013 RTW collection designed by Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce. Folkloric prints, pencil-skirted sundresses in satin organza and silk, brightly printed headscarves, bold and big accessories, and wide-cut tunic tops with puff-ball beach rompers were seen in the runway. Definitely a 50's Italian vibe!
April 2013 issue of VOGUE PARIS... Cover featuring Isabeli Fontana wearing a Dolce&Gabbana Spring Summer 2013 Sicilian Folk multi colour raffia mini skirt and bralet.
Japanese influence “tough rigor, the delicacy after, and the folding” shown at Miuccia Prada SS 2013 RTW collection. The designer combined Japan and the 60's with her midi-length dresses in boxy, rectangular shapes.
Love everything! You are right! Both videos make us feel that summer is finally here! Love the ad campaign, the show, the clothes, everything!
