You'd think that fashion's well-heeled jet set might have had an outfit repeat or two at Milan Fashion Week, after kicking off fashion month with over a week of parties and shows in New York, and then flying off to London... but non! From the outfits, to the handbags, to the shoes--it just kept coming. Here are 25 of Milan's best off-the-runway looks.
It was a pretty exciting season to be at Milan Fashion Week, what with new designers coming to the forefront, old designers trying new things, Anna Wintour making the rounds, and that Prada collection. There was a lot to see, so here's what it looked like from my iPhone's point of view.
Fashion month is almost over, but before we move on to Paris, we have to talk about Milan Fashion Week.

Yesterday afternoon, we finally made our way to Agnona's pop-up--and soon to be permanent home--on Milan's chic Via Sant'Andrea (next door to Prada) to see Stefano Pilati's eagerly-anticipated, already for sale, womenswear debut for Agnona. As reported, the collection, titled Collection 0, became available to purchase in Milan on Wednesday, the same day it was first unveiled to press. And overall, Pilati's vision for the brand is a strong statement against the fashion cycle, and the fact that, for the past three weeks, we've been looking at clothes that won't hit stores for another six months.
The Emporio Armani girl this season was one of those girls who looks totally chic, seemingly without even trying. That gamine who looks feminine and smart regardless of whether she's wearing a skirt or a suit. ...Even if she has crazy super tight ringlets atop her head--as Armani's girls did.

Miley's not the only teen starlet who got an image revamp this year--emphasis on the vamp. Selena Gomez appeared in the front row looking pretty vampy herself in super dark lipstick and a pretty revealing, skintight black Versace number.

And Donatella gave us more of it for spring, this time with a bit of a rock chick/biker influence.
And get ready to carry lots of handbags at once next spring.
