Ti Amo, Milano

Fourteen days and what seems like a lifetime ago, Milan Fashion Week was the most enjoyable fashion week I attended this year. The weather was beautiful – sunny and 60 degrees – the clothes were cheerful pops of color, almost everyone was in a good mood, and the living was easy. It wasn’t until the last day that coronavirus started to affect the city. Milan, we are wishing you a return to la dolce vita very soon.

One important fashion takeaway from Milan fashion week: saturated color. This is one of the things Italy has always done best. Again we are seeing monochromatic dressing here, but revved up for spring. Think of it as superhero outfits, separates in the same bright color from head to toe, often a pantsuit. Interestingly, we did not see a lot of prints except as an accent, which is certainly a change from the wild mishmash of Prada and Gucci prints quite recently. And the pastels of yesteryear look washed out by comparison. (more…)

A great yellow brocade look in Vivetta outside the show in Milan on Elisa Nalin. And the Stan Smith Adidas: this is the favorite shoe of the fashion crowd now.

Elisa Nalin at Gucci FW2014

Elisa Nalin at Gucci FW2014It’s that terrifying time of year again: time to bare one’s legs after a long winter. Do what Elisa Nalin stylishly did in Milan and ease into it gradually with a minidress, blazer and loafers.

Elisa Nalin at Chanel FW2014

Elisa Nalin at Chanel FW2014

This cute outfit on Elisa Nalin is one of my favorite things she’s ever worn. The knit top is by Michaela Buerger, the skirt Sonia Rykiel and the clutch by Sara Battaglia. Also we have seen a lot of flats on women outside the shows. Most are not as extreme as sneakers with evening wear à la Chanel couture, but many women have been pairing skirts and cropped trousers with pretty oxfords and brogues.  (more…)

Elisa Nalin at Dries van Noten

Loved this Sonia Rykiel robin’s egg blue look on Elisa Nalin because it’s so simple, but it epitomizes what’s going on in fashion right now. Spring colors are now fall colors and vice versa. (See Marc Jacobs’ dark and moody spring collection for an example.) Another shot of her cool leaf necklace, bag and mirrored sunglasses, after the jump.

Elisa Nalin at Fendi

Certain colors seem to resonate at certain times, and right now it’s green. Elisa Nalin was already rocking it last September at the Fendi show, with a green silk top under a windowpane check blazer and a sparkly green bag for a look that’s cool and summery yet pulled together.

This outfit also shows the increasing importance of menswear in the fashion category: for one thing, it’s really influencing womenswear.

Elisa Nalin at Louis Vuitton

Loved this cool Club Kids sweater on Elisa Nalin at the Louis Vuitton show. This was also on the morning after a lot of big fashion week parties when many were hiding behind sunglasses… very apropos!

Elisa Nalin at Trussardi

Stylist extraodinaire Elisa Nalin looked quite elegant in a Valentino coat, dress and heels at the Trussardi show in Milan. Close-up of her Fendi bag and Valentino shoes after the jump. These were one of several pairs of shoes seen outside the shows with a clear acrylic heel that makes the wearer look as if she’s floating on air. Very Cinderella!  (more…)

Elisa Nalin at Sonia Rykiel

Stylist Elisa Nalin wore so many fantastic outfits during Paris fashion week, but this one was one of my favorites. Love the mix of a leopard lapel with a springy green sweater and gold skirt – a great way to transition between seasons. Try her trick of layering a colorful collared shirt underneath a crew neck sweater for an instant wardrobe update.

Tamu McPherson, Natalie Joos and Elisa Nalin at Roberto Cavalli

This was such a cute moment outside the Roberto Cavalli show. And no – this picture isn’t photoshopped. These three trendsetters were really wearing colors this bright!

Elisa Nalin at Gucci

She has such a painterly eye for color and pattern. Gorgeous! And notice she’s wearing the color of the moment: oxblood, seen in a lot of FW2012 collections.

Elisa Nalin at Chanel

Stylist Elisa Nalin has really raised the bar for street style with her colorful, individualistic outfits. On this first cool day of Paris fashion week, she wore a deconstructed trench with arms made of pinstriped shirting to the Chanel show.

Elisa Nalin Colorblocking at Sonia Rykiel

Indeed, chic stylist Elisa Nalin drew the attention of Craig Arend of Altamira and many other photogs this past fashion month. Outside the Sonia Rykiel show, she tackled the tricky job of colorblocking with ease. The colors may be wildly vibrant, but by repeating the purple, yellow and red in several pieces, she applies a Mondrian-like logic to the look.

Navy Blue With Polka Dots, Outside Louis Vuitton

Elisa Nalin

Such a cute retro look, again in navy, with a below-the-knee pleated wool crepe skirt and jacket, accessorized with a white cap and navy envelope pouch at the belt. The polka dot blouse is also a nod to Louis Vuitton designer Marc Jacobs, who featured polka dots prominently in his namesake fall collection in New York.
