Yet another Milan fashion week started, this time dedicated to men’s fashion. If that exists any more, because I don’t really think a lot of men will go for the looks we’ve seen on the runway so far. Do you think this gladiator inspired style by Versace will be on anyone’s shopping list for Spring/Summer 2013?

Another show I found interesting was the one by Dolce & Gabbana. First of all, a big change when it comes to the choice of models. Instead of the usual D&G hunks, this time there were more preadolescent looking kids on the runway. When it comes to the collection itself, it does seem, allegedly, that ever since D&G started focusing on one main theme for each collection, that main inspiration usually comes from some other designer’s previous collection. For this years women’s collection it is all about fruits and vegetables, a theme that Stella McCartney explored a year before. You can read all about it here.

And for the new men’s collection, the structured tops with extravagant prints, combined with stripe shorts, and vice versa, remind me of the S/S 2011 Prada collection. Check out the two photos above and below and let me know of you too notice some resemblance between these two collection.

The other day as my mom was convincing me that nice things don’t have to cost a lot (as I didn’t already know this), she shoved me her new shirt that she bought in some random shop and asked me for my “expert” opinion on whether it was original Thierry Mugler as it is written on the front of this item. My first thought was that it must be an old model since the brand isn’t called Thierry Mugler anymore, because since the arrival of Nicola Formichetti, the brand lost the name of its founder and now is know only as Mugler.

That a side, after a second look, I noticed that this blouse was really special. Not only is it Thierry Mugler as the big logo on the front says, but it is also Class by Roberto Cavalli as the inside label indicates.

But it doesn’t end here, because if you are not fan of Cavalli’s second line, the inside, fake, hologram shows that it is actually the first line “Roberto Cavalli” by this Italian designer. There you have it, two in one, plus one product line extension (Class) in a case of bad, fake label mix-up.
