Imagine

 
Italian Design
 

… if this were your living room. I am.

In my living room, the painting of the dude at the far end is on a track that we can move aside when we want to watch trash tv on the flat screen.

On the Street…..Before Armani, Milano

 
Scooter Girl
 

The Sartorialist and I seem to be having a thing for chic girls on scooters. What I really love about her outfit is the way she mixes patterns and colors.

Thanks to The Sartorialist.

Prada Fall 2010
 

The New York Times’ Cathy Horyn quips that Milan Goes in All Directions in her review of Milan’s fashion week. She could be right. I haven’t been following the shows in Milan as closely as I did those in New York, but I can’t go without commenting on the fashions coming out of Milan since some of my favorite designers are Italian after all.

Prada: I love almost everything Miuccia Prada does. In a way, Miu Miu captures the sense of boho whimsy that I like in clothes I can’t afford, but Prada is the pinnacle. This new collection did not disappoint.
