What is the victory of a cat on a hot tin roof? Just staying on it I guess, long as she can.

My favourite Milan Spring/Summer Collections

Jil Sander
Ah-mazing, sculptural, minimalism / maximalism contradictions, several eclectic prints, circus-like silhouettes, luminous carrier bags, block colours / stripes, billowing skirts with minimal white t-shirts...... I've put a video from style.com up so that you can see the models in motion - there are so many fabulous outfits that it would be a shame for me to exclude any of them. 







Aquilano.Rimondi
The Italian version of Liberty print fabrics, thigh-high splits and blinding colour combinations: salmon with aqua blue / red and yellow / orange and acid green, all with no sheer in sight!






Marni
Swimming cap hats, sportswear, cycling shorts, prints, ruffles, chunky shoes






Missoni
Tribal, geometric, square-brimmed hats, circular-heeled sandals, maxi-dresses, carrier bags (again, like Jil Sander), wording




Antonio Marras
Dreamy, romantic, deep burgandy, crisp white, smatterings of flowers, English garden



And those collections that were almost in my tip top list:
Roberto Cavalli (top left), Dsquared² (top right, just too preppy - not a new look), Brioni (bottom left, nice proportions, lace and red/brown combinations), Marco de Vincenzo (bottom right)
