I was never a fan of Donatella Versace and it's not that I don't like her designs or anything. Maybe it's just the fact that when I hear 'Versace' the only person that I associated and grew up to love is the late Gianni Versace. And since Donatella replaced her brother to head the Versace empire, I guess a part of me felt she didn't deserve it because it was Gianni's hard work, blood, sweat and tears that made Versace one of fashion's respected and renowned label.
But knowing the fact that Donatella was ( or maybe even today ) being compared to Gianni, just imagine what that feels like. Haunted by the legacy left by a loved one, with expectations to at least maintain that legacy or worst surpass that. And her resilience and hard work to move forward and has done her brother proud is endearing and respectable.
Versace Men's Spring 2009 is a collection that showcases innovation and modernizing the Versace man. Chrome, steel gray, yellow, lavender and cool hues of blue painted the runway with fresh and sensuous designs. Making a true believer out of me that the Versace legac is in perfect hands. Bravura Donatella!

Men's Spring '09 Collections are filling the runways in Milan and Paris. Top Designers Dolce & Gabbana, Versace and Christian Dior are on my best of Spring '09 list. And I'm grateful for these designers for they made it easier to bear some designer's creations.
Ninety (N)ine Men's Spring '09 Collection was too over the top. Possibly one of the worst collections I have seen for a while. I know that fashion is a form of self expression, a platform to voice our opinions or to make a statement. But when delivered in a way that is borderline crazy and outwardly ugly. As a fashion lover, that is just offensive. Someone may argue that it's haute couture, well Ninety (N)ine Spring 2009 Collection is still a haute mess! And guilty of all ninety nine counts of fashion negligence!

As we are enjoying the summer sun, it's spring time in Milan! Men's Spring 2009 Collections are in full bloom on every runway. Vibrant colors, fresh designs and of course, classic handsome tailoring. On top of my list so far is Gucci. Colors and flora abound the collection. The harmony of fine tailoring and modern patterns and bright colors is what I loved most. Frida Grannini brought Tropicana back! From Hedi Slimane's heroine chic to Grannini's hippie chic, to any Gucci lover such transition from one spectrum to the other is no surprise. It's simply Gucci. Here are my faves from Gucci Men's Spring 2009 Collection.
