John Galliano though makes a stronger move, creating wild dresses in strong colors, making the models wearing blond curly wigs, strange enormous hats and heavy make up which gives the Galliano s/s collection an enchanting fairy tale touch! Like these green decorated soft Galliano dresses seen below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

D&GDolce & Gabbana this s/s collection made as well some incredibly peculiar dresses, which almost seem to derivate from an other world, the land of fairy tales. Almost reminding of a mixture of characters from Alice in wonderland. With these enormous eye-catching dresses.

2009 Golden Globe Awards: Penelope Cruz and Anne Hathaway choose Armani

For one of the most important fashion events of this new year, the 2009 Golden Globe Awards, two wonderful actresses Anne Hathaway and Penelope Cruz opt for an Armani outfit. The famous and prestigious Italian fashion house as always didn’t fall short of people’s expectations. The style of Giorgio Armani also this time fascinated all the people attending the event and not only them!

Penelope Cruz chooses a long, cream-colored and close fitting dress belonging to the Armani Privé collection. The sober and sophisticated mise chosen by Penelope is a real masterpiece on her.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That one chosen by Anne Hathaway, it also belongs to the Armani Privè collection . The long, sophisticated and Paris blue colored dress is really rich, the bustier is all covered by small, shining Swarovski crystals that make it a perfect example of haut couture. The full and pleated skirt emphasizes the beauty of this precious evening dress.

Large trousers, the new trend

As we know, fashion trends change vary quickly, a good and fitting example are trousers. The return to the fashion stage of bell-bottom and large trousers is not more a secret for the expert of fashion.

In many defilet, narrow trousers, that excelled last year, have been replaced by other: larger and more comfortable. The difference from the past is not only the big-sized, but also the long waist that replaces more familial short ones. So there is a real return to the past.

The dimension of trousers obviously depends on the stylish.
Giorgio Armani, for example, shows us an aggressive and clean line collection. A strong personality and a peculiar design makes it original, witty and fresh.
The unusual style is emphasizes by the big belt or the original material, like nylon. Another peculiarity of Emporio Armani collection are the big pockets that gave a sportive touch at the trousers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The collection of Christian Dior  has a more classic style than Armani ones. His collection is classical not only for his dress-length but also for the squared weft.
Contributes to give a classic style also the type of material used, not more innovative like that one of Armani. He uses silk, rich and undying material. Christian Dior so joins the innovation of large trousers with classical elements, and this is the real strength of his collection.
