In one writer’s humble opinion, Milan Fashion Week started off strong and then kind of petered out. While I love all three of these designers, who showed Thursday and Friday this week closing out the Milan shows, none of these collections really struck me as much as say, D&G or the controversial Prada show.
One of ShinyStyle’s top 10 designers for spring, Dolce & Gabbana, is really hitting the scene. First, the ads for their D&G line shot by Mario Testino, above, have hit the net and feature one of our favorite dresses from the runway collection. A far cry from the dominatrix Dolce & Gabbana ads that have been grabbing headlines of late, these flower child images have us ready for summer sunshine.
The lacy white frock Siri Tollerod wore in the spring/summer ’08 fashion show appears “in action” in the advertisement. We’re glad they chose this short version, as the longer one just seems a little overpowering on a tall thin frame, and would only look more ridiculous on less modelesque figures. Also featured in the ad is a mid-length trench that was styled loose with a brown leather belt on the runway and is open with rolled sleeves in the ads.

Apparently designers have been scrambling to get Gisele Bundchen to design her own line, but she only caved when close friends Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana asked her to do a capsule range for their line.
The Brazillian model is also a regular face in the D&G clothing and fragrance campaigns (she is currently the face of D&G’s ‘The One’) reportedly earning the label around £75 million in sales.
Described as a “chic and feminine” spring wear line, Kim over at Catwalk Queen predicts a distinctive glam kitten feel to this collection. Bündchen by Dolce & Gabbana is expected to hit stores in early March.
Are you ready for 7th on Sale?

Seven day auctions will be launching daily from Nov. 15 to Dec. 6. The sale includes $9 million worth of women’s, men’s and children’s apparel and accessories discounted up to 70% off retail prices, all to raise money for people living with HIV/AIDS.

Now that all the major Fashion Weeks–from New York to London to Milan to Paris–are over, we’ve gone through every collection and chosen the ten designers we like best for spring ’08. There were so many gorgeous collections, but we were looking for fabulous pop-out prints and designs that were really awe-inspiring. Overall, I loved how most of the collections were beautiful, but very wearable at the same time. Continue over to the jump to see our Top 10 Fashion Week Designer picks.
Even with the season’s slew of dark-dye leggings matched with minidresses and tunic tops, there’s still room for denim extravagances for a more formal look. These Dolce & Gabbana zip-detailed skinny jeans are a warmer addition to the skintight cotton and lycra bottoms that we’re coveting this season, with zip details and gold tone logo plate on the rear. The likes of Jessica Alba has already been spotted in a navy pair by Rich & Skinny, but D&G offers something a little more chic. Right in step with the grey hues this year, these are a quality pair to pull off with both long and short tops this fall.
Say goodbye to dresses! This fall, gone are the shapeless shift, empire waist and trapeze dresses of the summer. The trend this season is to flaunt your feminine figure with slimming silhouettes and structured suits, jackets, and trousers in place of the dress. The leopard-print, satin shirt and pants, above, from Dolce & Gabbana represent the new sleek, fitted look. Of course, dresses will always be in style, but look for more fitted, sophisticated styles. Oh how I’m going to miss the year of the dress!
