Vogue Italia

To start out the new year, I'd like to share with you some of my favorite selections of the 2013 spring/summer preview from the Runways of Italy...


Powerful is decidedly in:  large hats, evening pants, maxi dresses, and capes,
 strong lines, leather, crop tops and lipstick red for spring.
Also inclusions of mesh, boyfriend blazers and shapeless shift dresses.
Big accessories and accent accessory pieces and as for hair, it's all about the long bangs.
