Things that Make you Dance in Milan//Day 5

Dolce & Gabbana

A Better Look//Gaultier Couture

I'M just sayin/

The first day of Milan, only 3 shows for me and jet lag took its toll early. Let's just say synapses were not firing, nor did lunch or dinner happen. Clearly not my day, but I did manage to take a few decent snaps along the way. Below are a few from Just Cavalli. Check out style.com for Prada and Fendi.

GREY is the english spring/

It def rains in England, but Gareth Pugh's spring collection opened up the Paris season on a ray of sunshine; gorgeous grey clouds shining through with detail and workmanship at an incredible presentation. The Hot hot hot backstage was an understatement of a makeup sauna that was one of the most calm I can remember. Who would have thought..  No complaints, no screaming, just a walk in the rain.

KISSING off couture/

Thanks again to all of you who have followed me along my travels. I know I'm not the most frequent blogger, but when I do post it's good to know you are with me along the way. Below is a selection from one of my Paris favorites, Jean Paul Gaultier:

BALMAIN/

The backstage this season has been tough. Lots of photogs and lots of small spaces. Balmain was no exception. We had to shoot in the basement of the cavernous Ritz hotel because the girls were literally changing in a hallway. Add to that makeup, hair, stylists and dressers and you get even smaller spaces with no exit but the runway.

If you like things that sparkle though [and every girl does], you'll love the collection. Look at Style.com for the whole thing and down below for a little shine:
