We are going to look as shiny and attractive as a box of chocolates in our sequin dresses, but also jackets, pants and jumpsuits made with sparkling materials such as crystals, Lurex or new glitter fabrics. All-over fabrics are the most popular choice: according to Alberta Ferretti and Margiela, we are going to shine from head to toe. Louis Vuitton pairs Lurez with trimmings. …
Long dresses are back and with the body covered up down to our ankles we can still flash a bit of flesh by wearing sheer fabrics: tulle, chiffon, organza and also glossy and reflective hi-tech materials. Underwear on show, of course, by Blumarine and Dolce&Gabbana, but also by Fendi, Maison Margiela and Paco Rabanne. Miu Miu puts see-through pieces over more opaque layers. Very practical and chic! …
I love watching fringes swinging around the body, it’s so sexy and feminine. We will be all swaying like soft waves with very long multicolored and multi-material fringes by Balmain, Calvin Klein, Céline, Erdem, Loewe, Nina Ricci and Paco Rabanne. Smaller-sized but swinging all the same are those by Fausto Puglisi. …
Like birds-of-paradise: we were bewitched by Yves Saint Laurent’s stunning models, who swayed down the runway in black mini-dresses full of feathers and we are trying to recreate their charm with the colored feathers by Rodarte, Nina Ricci, Balmain and, of course, the supreme Yves. …
Long dresses are not synonymous with elegant evening gowns anymore: we’re going to see women in daylight wearing skirts to the ground – even soft overlapping panels – increasingly easy-going, fluid and versatile.

English, romantic and Victorian-style gardens are in bloom everywhere, over dresses, shoes and jewelry. From Ungaro to Dior, from Gucci to Alexis Mabille, women look like flowers that never fade, dressed in all-over floral prints, colorful, huge and often 3D, such as by Dolce & Gabbana and Moschino, who cover their creations with roses in full bloom. …
The belt bag, never a favorite with the fashionistas, is all the rage on the runways. The trendiest one is the Balenciaga logo belt bag. Bags, with or without fringes? As you please, but always add a touch of ethnic style and plenty of embossed leather such as by Bottega Veneta. Two must-haves: Valentino’s waist-bag, which can be worn around the waist or like a small backpack, and Chanel’s plexiglas purses, simply lovely. …
Cowboy boots make a comeback, but high-heeled and in precious skins such as reptile and crocodile. Seen at the Givenchy and Chloé shows. High-heeled sandals laced up to the knee by Altuzzarra and lace-up fishnet-style boots by Dior. Both very sexy. Fly to the moon on the Enterprise with the Perspex boots by Chanel and Balmain. Ladylike kitten heels by Bottega Veneta, but in order to play down any formal look you need Dolce&Gabbana shoes. …

Jeans from morning to night, for cocktail dresses and suits. By Fendi, Alexander McQueen, Marras and Dior for a more sophisticated look. By Stella McCartney and Carolina Herrera for light-colored and everyday jeans. …
It’s the polka-dot season. Actually, polka dots have never been out of style lately. Probably because they are so sweetly childish, because they take us back to the fifties, because they flatter nearly every body type, even buttery pin-up girls. This season, my favorites are the bon ton look by Dior and Dolce&Gabbana, the macro polka dots by Watanabe or the micro ones by Balenciaga. …
Multicolored, in various sizes, vertical, horizontal and oblique. In summertime, stripes evoke a peaceful seaside atmosphere. Feel free to mix and match as you please. With sporty-chic vintage T-shirts, like Prada. With ladylike sweaters like Etro. Only stripes, as usual, by Missoni. …
Almost Mauve: “Almost Mauve” is actually a powder pink tone verging on ivory. It pairs perfectly with nearly all the colors on the palette, but the chicest result is achieved with salmon pink or red.
