Hello Morello!

Last week on February 25,I got to see Frankie Morello's new Fall&Winter 2010/11 collection through my amazing internship. All I can say is black, tight, and short...and that I loved it all as I sat front row! Here's a video of the first two looks (don't mind my mediocre video skills).

Next Generation not so RTW?

Fashion week in Milan started on February 24, 2010 with Next Generation, a show featuring four emerging designers who are all under 30 years of age! Next Generation was initiated by The National Chamber of Italian Fashion four seasons ago to introduce the new kids on the block. The four designers chosen were Marco Corso, Francesco di Giorgi, Francesca Liberatore, and Susanna Cornet.

Here's a rundown of the runway:
Marco Corso - shoulders, blazers, and cuffed trousers.
Francesca Liberatore -sleek booties and revealing backs.
Susanna Cornet (my favorite!) - over-the-knee tights, nude shades, and flowy dresses/skirts.
Francesco di Giorgi - Alice in Wonderland, white fur, and pastel tights.

With noticeable threads falling onto the runway from Marco Corso's line and the inexperienced models, I felt like a judge on Project Runway. Let's see if these designers have what it takes to become the next big thing in Italy. Only time can tell.
