It wasn’t all about Missoni, Cavalli and Emporio at the Milan Fashion Week this time. The fashionistas witnessed a splurge of the best designer outfits. The D & G duo had a blast with their posh plaid gowns, all done in Scottish motif that transformed the massive catwalk stage into the beautiful ballrooms of Scotland in the Milan Fashion Week.

The terrific studs famous for their sexy corsets, made a dash for the highland style of Scotland, where they made use of a mind-boggling variety of tartan and plaids to highlight the skirts worn by peasant womenfolk’s, flouncy looking gowns decorated with either a plain or muttonchop necks.

Boy, it was rather a shock for the otherwise elite class of women, as D & G is best known for their ultra-chic and sexy corsets and by Jesus, what a transformation. I am sure that the British mothers and the sweet looking grandma’s would surely bless them with all their heart.

The woman surely is a beauty, I must say and she indeed deserves the tag of being the most stylish celebrity. At 33, she has the curves that any actress would die to have and she still oozes the oomph factor with style and attitude, which is hard to beat.

Successful in all her projects, a super sexy mama and a society friendly celebrity, she made a thunderous appearance in the Marc Jacobs show at New York Fashion Show and bingo, she overshadowed even the famous supermodel Heidi Klum, with her bare dare backless shot.

Balmain has been one of my hot favorites so far. I simply adore the exuberance of this French couturier. The ultra- modern and superbly gorgeous fashion that is defined by this great maestro of art is commendable. This year too, the designer collection by Pierre Balmain has been greatly applauded by the fashion freaks. The style that he flaunts is too chic. Of course, he is one of the most popular designers among the royal classes of Europe and Hollywood too.

This year, I was eagerly waiting for his collection to be unleashed and like each year, his creativity widens the outlook of fashion lovers. I was completely overwhelmed by the beautiful collection designed by such a great artist. What is peculiar about his collection
is that it tends to sustain a feminine charm about it while it exudes the modern flavor. The elegance of his silhouettes is absolutely awe-inspiring. The magnificence and the sumptuousness displayed by the garments of this immensely artistic designer are incomparable.

This year, the great variety of the designs in the designer collection has been appreciated by the onlookers. I personally like the transient gowns which partially flaunt the beautiful bodies of the models. The colors used in the outfits are not overtly bright and put forward a very soothing aura.

The awesome threesome lady hot shots took the Paris Fashion week by storm when they were seated in the privileged front row seats attending the Roland Mouret Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2008 collection. The Beckham girl as usual was dressed for the occasion. Victoria loves to hog the lime light and this time too she did make a style statement by wearing somewhat an oldie looking outfit. Fashion critics might have overlooked her style sense this time but she couldn’t shoo away the bloggers space who hunted her down and gave their words on how she looked.
Victoria came dressed in RM. It did overshadow her style stunts earlier though for sure it wouldn’t look bad on you. This is how she was dressed- a silk tweed knee-length dress in light grey shade. The dress had contrast panels and done in origami fold detailing. With nice looking pleats under the waist, an inverted pleat on front and cotton vitro pleats on shoulder, the dress will surely enhance your look when matched with black pumps and a classic Dior bag. Mark my words!
Okay, now talking about the other two babes, who joined the front row, was Dita Von Tesse and the ever-smashing Claudia Schiffer.

Dita was dressed in an RM navy coloured knee-length cotton stressed outfit. It had a high-cut neckline with raised darts, drape work at the waist that was centered on a tiny diamond shaped panel. The sleeves were cap shaped with little bit of drape detailing on the shoulder. I must say, she looked good the way she carried it. However, some might say that she appeared more like a Hollywood pimp. No offence intended.
I liked Claudia Schiffer the best. She looked stunning in the way she carried the overall match that she did flaunt that day.
