Ooooh, this is so exciting! It's Milan Fashion Week, which has always been my favourite fashion week. And finally, there is more Gemma modelling.
Jil Sander
In case you haven't heard the news, Jil Sander is back -that is the true Jil Sander, the brand of pure minimalism and famous for its trousers and jackets. The new long anticipated designer Raf Simons managed to impress the fashion crowd with his debut collection of womenswear, and that is no easy task. Throughout the collection, Raf Simons' training in menswear is obvious. Many of the outfits, especially the black and white ones were very basic 'Jil Sander', but there were a few outfits that were more than meets the eye. Take the dresses as examples: From the front they were basic, flowing dresses, but the backs were cut low in an elegant way. Anyways, every single piece of this collection was monotonous with tailoring as the key focus. And to complete the minimalism look, makeup was barely traceable on the models' faces.

Giorgio Armani
Now there is no doubt that every piece in the collection is beautifully cut and perfect for the sophisticated woman. But the collection is not what I would have expected from Armani -where are the pantsuits, and strict colors? How are the amazing Armani-clad businesswomen expected to work through winter in only pencil skirts? And why oh why does this collection remind me a bit of the Christian Dior style?
