milan was more scaled down this season than i would have anticipated, but i personally think this is a good move. in an economic downturn, it's never good to forfeit great design (thus weakening moral, of course!), but an item's physical quality, as well as its ability to transition through seasons, should be a top priority for designers this season. i think milan did a wonderful job putting that perspective into execution, despite some of the gaudiness that still seemed present on the runways. here are some other great shows from world-class designers.
missoni
the breakdown: soft scarves, dresses, leggings, skirts, shawls...

brioni
the breakdown: sleek silhouettes, classic colors, uber-Italian.

gianfranco ferre
the breakdown: timeless fabrics, black, texture, acute attention to detailing.

pollini
the breakdown: flattering shapes, metallics, fur details.

i'm aware i chose more subdued looks, but how chic are they, yaknow?
