Last Word In Style: Runway Series 1: MFW SS12 Pt.3

Here is the 3rd and final part of the series of the favorite looks from Milan Fashion Week. If you need to track back for part 2, you can simply click here. (Click each label name to view the entire collection; links are in light-gray)

Missoni - After the huge success with Missoni's collaboration with Target, the label tried to stun the viewing public again with the coming year's Spring collection. Sure, it might have not been a win/win with this collection but there is plenty to be intrigued about. Angela Missoni's inspiration came from her daughters coming back from a night out dancing in Sardinia during the summer. She began to think about what was actually appropriate outfit to have for those types of occasions. She experimented with looks that could be improvised yet be in motion in a fluid manner.

Prada - Miuccia Prada decided to call this one "Sweetness". She captured the two most meaningful relationships Italian men have lives - women and cars. Stunning, leggy models paraded down the catwalk in retro-futuristic dresses, some of which sported the 'winged' lines favoured by the auto of the decade, others recalled the upholstery with jackets and skirts. From auto-themed prints to flame decals, the motor motif was beautifully expressed in the collection. A little taste of Hollywood, it was the iconic tone of superstars back then. The mens collection was something to smile about, even more with the next women's Spring collection.

Roberto Cavalli - Simply stunning. Smiles on faces and jaws dropping. The handwork was near couture, it the was right balance between ready-to-wear and pure posh elegance. The message to take away from here is that after all these years, the man can still leave you speechless. There was plenty of sensuality (much more important than sexuality) and crazy confidence behind gold, that was more than satisfying. This was another collection that made it very difficult to only choose three favorites in this post. I don't have to tell, take a look for yourself at the rest of the collection (click name in light gray).

Salvatore Ferragamo - Made famous for their leather products, they have been nothing but genius since. This time it was the mixture of tropical and tribal. One thing that Ferragamo has always had has been the sheer professionalism and elegance in their work. The signature classy and traditional work was averted a tad bit for this collection. They wanted it to be more lively, more spring. Regardless, the work was appreciated and in some pieces held the 'wow' factor. The colors were the main attraction, but just enough so it didn't take away from the fine handwork. You would gladly love to drown in them. Again, yet another collection that made it difficult to choose only three.

Versace - Another high-end label that is doing a collaboration with a more affordable brand, this time it's with H&M. With that aside, this was all about Versace - this was all Donatella. The preference, for M at least, as always been towards the Spring collection from this fashion house. This had Donatella written all over, it came from her past collections and design inspirations. It has always been her ability to always look forward. This was very easy on the eyes, as if Hellenic beauties (or simply, Greek goddesses) were walking the runway. What comes next? Ladies, be prepared for that H&M madness.

OK. There was just one more added look for the Versace feed, but we simply couldn't resist. This may have been the last part of this series but there is much more to come in the next series! Paris Fashion Week favorite looks coming up next!
