But more important though are the details, without details this S/S you will not pass the test!
You will find the most important trends and shopping advices below…
The cut-away trend is evident this spring/summer 2009 and of course we’ll find it in the shoe fashion. The two upper shoes on the photo are from the Giuseppe Zanotti collection, and they clearly demonstrate the existence.
This amazing cut-away technique is stunning, elegant and in the same way provocative. And most important it works absolutely well on high heels. It gives you the right modern and fresh look! Perfect as well at night to a mini dress as well to jeans or a casual style… The solid black Paciotti shoes are furthermore phenomenal!
The Stiletto is a classical, and of course this year it’s top fashion. But this year two things have changed, fist of all is the richness of particularities, from buckles to different patterns. Second are the fusion of stilettos and platform heels. Which evidently creates an even higher heel.
These pink Paciotti or these sky high Zanotti stilettos have all different exiting particularities!
The gladiator sandals are a truly Must-Have this spring and summer! Perfect for city days or casual night events… Miu Miu has made some truly cute gladiator sandals (see photo).

But not only, even shoes and accessories are exotic and a bit dangerous. Like these Roberto Cavalli strass and enamelled snake bracelets on the photo or the Jimmy Choo shoes in black and white coloured python. Both easy ways to gently incorporate this slightly extreme fashion in your everyday style.
If you instead want to strike everybody at the party you should try these python printed Prada dresses, both available at Giglio.com. They are top fashion , extreme but still delicate in their earth coloured tones or classic black and white.

This spring/summer 2009 themes have been popular on the catwalks…
The D&G Dolce & Gabbana collection clearly demonstrate a marine theme this year. With stripped shirts in red & blue and white & blue like real sailors and bathing suites in the same way. Waist high trousers with bottoms on both sides, funny bathing hats.
And to emphasis even more their inspiration source on some clothes we’ll find anchors, boats and marine icons! Frequently seen as well are the big roses and silk scarfs combined with blouses and shirts. Predominantly even in this collection is the sheer fabric, which lightly waves in air.
Sometimes the models strongly reminds of the black and white movies and their elegant young ladies! The D&G collection is fully emerged in this marine and sailor theme, it entirely gives you the real sensation of sailor spirit in a very feminine way though. In fact that’s the reason why it’s so brilliant!
Spring/summer 2009 is full of asymmetry. This year is not supposed to be structured but totally freaked out, in other words asymmetrical!
Try to stick it in as much as possible, there’s many ways to be irregular. Well of course there’s the one-shoulder trend, with the one -shoulder dresses, one-shoulder blouses and so on. That’s a great way to reach the result. A perfect example is this white sophisticated one-shoulder Versace dress. With one or perhaps two shoulders bare you get the right seductive look, especially at night. To emphasis the sensual look you should invest in one-shoulder cut out dresses, so even more parts of your body gets bare and gives you a strong feminine look!
Besides the one shoulder dresses there’s a lot of other ways to be uneven, for instant a huge detail on one part of the dress, a big ribbon on just one side of the body creates an unbalanced touch, perfect this spring. Like the amazing Moschino dress below. Since it’s all about asymmetry a long piece of sheer fabric waving from only one side of the shirt or dress is perfect as well and creates a very soft atmosphere!

For a more street look an other perfect way to be on top this S/S is to invest some t-shirts with different prints on the sides or one side stripped and the other not… It’s simply for you to explore! It’s definitely a funny fashion trend to enjoy this eagerly awaited summer!

In conclusion, Balenciaga bags are a must have accessories as regards this winter season and we can hardly wait to the new spring/summer collection that I think won’t fall short people’s expectations.
Boots this winter were the uncontested main characters among glamorous shoes. Easy to wear and very comfortable they have couth the attention of many women and celebrities that can’t renounce them anymore. This popular type of shoe, now a must have accessory, is destined to become a trend as regards also this spring fashion season.
Many prestigious designers, like in this case Gucci, Christian Dior or Fendi proposed us different versions to suit all consumers tastes.
That one by Gucci fashion house for its sportive and strong soul catch the attention of many fashion addicts . The glamorous and elegant lines of this pair of shoes are emphasized by the predominant presence of golden studs the characteristic element of this winter Gucci collection.
These Christian Dior boots belong to the cannage collection. Even in this case Christian Dior doesn’t live up its reputation as a refined fashion house. The pair of boots in question are in a total black patent-leather with a high stiletto hell that gives a more elegant touch at this accessory.
Fendi shows us the perfect compromise between the two previous options. Fendi proposal is the result of the perfect union between the chic essentialism of Christian Dior and the creative touch of Gucci. The boots are realised in suede, they are total black coloured except for some silvery lamé decorations.
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. 
At the Milan Fashion Week the new Versace 2009 spring summer collection. Main idea of the new woman by Versace is the attention to the figures and shapes. He suggests tied mini dresses for long and elegant legs, and slim jackets. The use of metallic fabrics exalts the figure too, in a game of seduction and sensuality.
Fendi’s woman for next 2009 summer is a combination of round shapes, following next summer attention of fashion towards geometric games. The circle is the mirror of the new femininity, the circle as symbol of eternity and perfection.

Typical Scottish squared pattern of the highlands is going to be one of next fall winter trends. Dolce&Gabbana, in their D&G Dolce&Gabbana collection for next fall winter, picked the Scottish pattern as leading fantasy of their collection.
Tartan, or Scottish pattern, was born within the Highlands in the 18th century, and it originally meant the belonging of a family to a specific clan. It became a distinctive icon of a family power, and, little by little, it also became part of the Scottish culture up to now.
Tartan was a particular wool pattern, typical of kilts and Scottish customs, the result of fine wool different coloured threads, matching with each other and creating the well known squared pattern.
Tartan quickly conquered the world of fashion, it became an important decorative pattern, very loved by designers, and fashion has been reinterpreting the tartan pattern according to its laws.
Wonderful witness of this trend is D&G Dolce&Gabbana collection, its dresses and shirts for a style that can be easily combined with country accessories and boots.
