Spring/Summer 08 Fashion Weeks [Rio, Milan, Paris]

[carioca]

hmm :-/ some of the models dont look that gorgeous. some look a bit old

it's Versace though, their clientele are businessmen and men in their mid-late 20's/early 30's
past J. Lindeberg shows, that's when all the models look like they are 13-17

hehe just noticed that nearly all the men have the same face shape

thanks miah!! i LOVE THE SUITS! (especially the dark ones!) and the jackets!!
if i had a man, i would sooooo buy them for him!

[carioca]

yeah the suits were fab. i really liked the casting and the styling, impeccable job by the casting director and the stylists @ Versace.

i saw the complete collection for all of yesterday's shows (minus daks). i'll post videos when i get back home.
BOTTEGA VENETA: 7/10
ANTONIO MARRAS: the coolest show in my opinion, 9/10
FRANKIE MORELLO: bad models/bad clothing; 3/10
GIANFRANCO FERRE: RIP GFF his clothes were the usual high class type, 5/10
SALVATORE FERRAGAMO: really good model line-up, classic clothes (no louis still) 9/10
CARLO PIGNATELLI OUTSIDE: so-so 4/10
EMPORIO ARMANI: tacky 3/10
NEIL BARRETT: a lot of studded leather (i quite liked it actually), headbands on the models, good model line-up, drab colours for a summer collection 7/10
DAKS (nothing has come out from Daks yet)
PRADA: everything looked like pajamas, cool watches, nice leather bags, bad casting 4/10
ALEXANDER MCQUEEN: cool set (he held his show at an indoor swimming pool), cool concept (all the models were soaking wet), so-so models/clothes....5/10
Vivienne Westwood: really good show, she used a lot of old (non-working) models, some of the clothes were questionable and others were fantastic, and she used one of LouLou's best mates so i love her 7/10

REALLY!!! can you find out his name and i can get some photos to see grazie.

OMG VALENTINOOOOOOOOOO the best show of Valentino. check it out on gettyimages. they had the runway as if it was a long lounge bar. and all the models were sitting at the bar with cocktails. then the music began and they started strutting. it was BEAUTIFUL. BEAUTIFUL CLOTHES, MEN, CONCEPT....EVERYTHING.
i liked Dell'Acqua as well, a lot of my favourite models were in that show too. and gucci, kinda ugly clothes but they used one of my absolute favourite models, Marco Sulima in their runway.
I can post all of Valentino and Gucci if wanted, but i'm kind of lazy so just if someone wants.
