Milan Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Versace While some criticized Frida Giannini's Gucci collection for being overly commercial, and lacking innovation, Versace managed to deliver both wearable and wowable Spring designs. Short, belted dresses are simply adorable, while powerful folds and curvature proved to work for the drama-loving vixen as well. Her palate was subdued — white, powder blue, camel, yellow, black and a gorgeous steel purple.

On Friday during the Agatha Ruiz De La Prada at Milan Fashion Week, Sasha Baron Cohen (as his latest character Bruno) sneaked backstage and somehow managed to grace the catwalk.
The incident resulted in the subsequent arrest of Baron Cohen but what do you think of his catwalk debut; freaky or fabulous?
Actress and front row fashionista Mischa Barton was looking glowing at the Vanity Fair party at Milan Fashion Week. She went for a natural makeup look, with a rose coloured lip gloss, black lined eyes and peachy blush. Her skin always looks flawless but I thought she looked slightly tired in this picture. It could be the social whirl of Fashion Week, but I also think she suits fresher shades and pink near the eyes is always dangerous.
If London is know for its quirk then Milan is known for its steam. While some designers also specialize in tailoring (Armani, Dolce & Gabbana) and eclecticism (Marni, Prada), sex appeal oozes off almost every Milan runway. Let's just say it's in the Italian blood; even when they aren't trying to be sexy, they produce some titillating looks.

The famous foursome of Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Matthew McConaughey, and Camila Alves were together again last night at the Dolce & Gabbana Golden Age party in Milan. The bash celebrated Domenico Dolce's 50th anniversary, and what better way than with a decadent soiree including all their A-List friends — the Lopez-Anthonys even arrived in a horse-drawn carriage. Elsewhere in the Fashion Week fun, Mischa Barton and Rihanna smiled on the red carpet at the Fab Five Vanity Fair Party.

Spring 2009 is Matthew Williamson's final collection for Pucci before Peter Dundas takes over the creative healm. Williamson had originally been believed to be leaving to concentrate on his own label but the rumour mill suggests otherwise.
He presented the collection in Milan yesterday and it included some classic Pucci style prints (modeled by the amazing Jourdan Dunn) and plenty of bright colours.
Williamson looked to Capri, the birth place of Pucci, for inspiration for Spring 2009 creating one-pieces and glitzy dresses.
Although the line took inspiration from the heritage of Pucci, there was a distinct modernisation to the pieces which won't look out of place on his Ibiza friends. The updates came with plenty of glitter, jumpsuits and '80s style cropped jackets. Everybody was really left wondering what is next for Pucci and imagining what changes Dundas might make.
