Yesterday, I was able to go backstage before the Just Cavalli S/S 2012 show. Please enjoy those behind-the-scene photos. It will give you a wonderful insight into the fashion world and you might be amazed what is really going on behind the runway. Enjoy!

The S/S 2012 looks and the moodboards.
Swiss television Glanz & Gloria interviewed me backstage.
Keira Knightley recently wore Mary Katrantzou‘s Caramolengo dress in Venice. The British designer who is known for her amazing printsbelongs to my favourites. Yesterday, here in Milan, I wore the same mid-length silk printed dress.
My outfit: Caramolengo dress by Mary Katrantzou, glitter booties (the shoes of the season!) and oversized clutch by Miu Miu, watch by Roger Dubuis.

It might not be for everyone, but if you like Versace, you are going to fall in love with this S/S 2012 collection. It was truly sexy. Short mini dresses and hot pants were all over the runway. If you were looking for pants, no chance! Pastel colours gave a very feminine approach and even made the studded materials look soft. Of course, there was leather and lots of beautiful embellished evening gowns. The final look resumed the beginning having a sparkling coral on the belly. And with the help of the Neptune-like prints showing sea shells and corals, Donatella has whetted our appetite for the next summer already.
To celebrate the first year of Spiga2(Dolce & Gabbana’s the first multi-brand shop), the store was transformed into a huge bedroom. Women were be in bed with the latest collections from the Spiga2 designers.
This season’s must: A pair of sparkling shoes!

Dolce & Gabbana’s protégéFausto Puglisi‘s s vibrant designs are available at Spiga 2 and of course, the Sicilian designer was also present.
My look yesterday was inspired by the current python trend. This yellow and green python coat by Prada was a special order for me a few years ago. Thank God that I am keeping all my things.

What a surprise! I ran into Michele Venitucci on the streets in Milan. Remember him? The Italian actor is like me one of the advertising faces for the Closed F/W 2011 campaign.
Yesterday outside at the Ermanno Scervino S/S 2012 show, I spotted Marcella, a Stockholm based editor, in such a cute outfit that I had to share it with you.
Marcella’s look: Linen shirt by Uniqlo, sandals by See by Chloé, sunglasses by H&M, clutch by Jil Sander and watch by Marc Jacobs. The colourful mini skirt is a souvenir from Africa.
In the meantime, something for my Swiss and German based readers: The fourth 2011 Weltwoche Style Edition is available now featuring my winter must-haves including an interview with Melanie Günthardt, co-owner of Lovers Lane, and the cover story I wrote about Stella McCartney. You might be surprised how versatile the British designer really is.
Get your issue now.
Today, I also went to see theErmanno Scervino S/S 2012 show which took place at la Scuola Militare, the military school. The scenery was quite impressive and a wonderful juxtaposition to the very romantic and feminine collection.
With the next summer collection, Ermanno Scervino takes us on a voyage across India of Rajasthan and of the Maharajas. The Florence based designer is constantly melting different worlds and different materials, combining sportswear and couture by playing with unexpected combinations, such as geometric jackets over light ruffled dresses.
In the front row (so-called “frow” now), I spotted Alice Dellal (model and sister of shoe designer Charlotte Olympia) who is the new advertising face for the Ermanno Scervino F/W 2011 campaign, in the amazing black overall from the winter collection. Alice with her edgy look adds the right twist to those soft and playful creations.
Great choice! I have loved the S/S 2012 show and you? You can watch it at the end of this post.
This evening I went to see the Prada S/S 2012 show which was truly amazing!
Miuccia Prada always surprises us. This time, she came up with a road-style runway that had pink oil spills and foam cars as decoration (and seats!). A lovely fifties vibe with car prints, amazing floral prints and lots of beautiful colours. A very feminine collection. I am completely taken by the beautiful dresses and pleated fabrics. The leather pencil skirts were also divine. But the most insane part were the shoes with heels on fire…more to come.
