DSquared2 combined Camp with Ramp for Spring 2010 at MFW

The spring/summer 2010 collections previewed on runway at Milan Fashion Week’s last day spoke of happy colors, easy styles, and lots of sensuality. And best example for this is the DSquared2 campsite.

The curtain parted at Dsquared2 to reveal a woodsy scene, completed with pair of tents lit by chandeliers and mirrors propped against the trees. Camp is always an element at Dan and Dean Caten’s shows, but for Spring, twins took the camping theme quite literally.

known for their fun-loving styles, twin designers put together the perfect outfit for city-slicker camper. Distressed pair of jeans shorts, boy scout shirt decorated with badges and a baseball cap were among the basic looks. Trousers were slightly oversized in bright plasticized fabrics worn with an ‘I love camping’ sweat shirt with the Canadian maple leaf.



Cutoff shorts, tees, and jean jackets came tarted up with sky-high neon patent-leather platform booties and gray hiking socks, tweaked with plastic coverings – a better way to stay dry in wild.

The latter in collection included a cropped butterscotch leather jacket and a color-blocked parka. Collection was as usual was full of fun packed in bright colors.

Guerlain Idylle ~ A new romantic fragrance by Thierry Wasser

Thierry Wasser the perfumer, has created a very new fragrance for Guerlain, it’s called Idylle. Idylle means love or a dream of it. It generally refers to a poetic genre that in Greek Antiquity sang amours and erotic encounters of a shepherd boy and girl in an archaic setting.


Olfactorily, Idylle is a perfume that unfolds it’s notes slowly, as if it were a nymph stretching by a pond in the forest in spring. Scent starts with wet, dewy rose/floral notes followed by civet-y notes. The crystalline notes in beginning are accompanied by contrast between a pink rose and a green jasmine.

It’s a very crisp peony-rose followed by a thread of raspy indolic jasmine which weaves itself into lighter, pink very top notes. Muguet, pivoine, lilas, and freesia are also combined to heart notes of perfume.

Underneath it all, there is a graceful sweetness with some hints of chypre, patchouli, white musk. Traditional heavier notes such as incense, ambergris, are treated with infinite sensitivity.

This perfume is somewhat hard to translate into words as it’s nuances are so minuscule and dainty. So, just experience it’s romanticism!!

Designers set hot fashion trends for Spring at Milan Fashion Week

Luisa Beccaria Spring/Summer 2010 ~
Luisa Beccaria was diversified for her spring collection. She didn’t send a string of black dresses down the runway or do anything as drastic to her parade of pastel-y party frocks. Instead, she launched a range of hand-blown Venetian glass and collaborated with Citroen on a car covered inside and out in a rose print from Spring line with a 1950’s reflection.
Fendi Spring/Summer 2010 ~
At Fendi, it was a season of wispy fabric, ivory and ecru, off-pastels, and fraying edges, with an added Parisian lingerie twist. There were couple of pairs of chamois-fine pants, and puffy, feathery collages of leather on shoulders of a tulle jacket and a cream silk high-necked play-suit and a dotted tulle shirt with a frilled triangle bra beneath. There were a lot of wood-handled bags that came with a snap-on fabric cover and shoes which were again trenched in fabric.

Ruffles played a key role for collection, while flirty frocks with cascading lapels felt just right. There was plenty to grab like a washed cotton-linen boyfriend blazer, an airy suede utility vest, and a sexy mini bedecked in swishy pearl beads. The playful drop-waist and pastel minidresses were attractive and jackets were fantastic – especially at their price point.
