MILAN--We were in transit during the Gucci show, so unfortunately we weren't there to experience it in real life. But there's good news: We have access to pretty images! Click through to get the gist of Frida Giannini's latest collection. Here's my cheat sheet:

  • Carmen Sandiego
  • Teal
  • Colored fur
  • 1940s suiting
  • 1970s suiting inspired by the 1940s
  • Dick Tracey!
  • Marc Jacobs Spring 2010
  • YSL everything

  • not inspired by Tom Ford's Gucci from the '90s that was inspired by the 1970s

Salvatore Ferragamo Fall 2011: Working Girl

MILAN--As much as former Fashionista editor Britt Aboutaleb wants the velvet trend to die, I want the pinstripe trend to succeed. Apparently, so does Salvatore Ferragamo designer Massimiliano Giornetti. Nearly half the looks in yesterday's collection were pinstripe, and when they weren't, we saw dots, houndstooth, and check. It was all very '80s, and for a girl like me who loves power suiting, it was good. From the bow collars to the slicked back hair, it's obvious that Giornetti's woman is sentimental for Armani and could do without the current minimalist trend.
