Milano, Italy X

There was something special about being at Piazza del Duomo, the main square right in front of Milan cathedral, at sunset time.  There was an air of sophistication.  Even the quality of light had a sense of urban stylishness.  Could it be due to some kind of illusion because Milan is Italy's fashion capital?  In my opinion, Milan does look chic because people here really pay attention to their fashion.

Fashion Director of the UK's Daily Telegraph says, "Evident from the catwalks in Milan," 2010 Fall/Winter is "all about covering up in style."  For those of us who could use a little help in the fashion department, let's take some cues from her.  Here's what will be hot next season: military; biker; Highlander; chalet-style; Tomb Raider; Cossack; kilts/pleats; hoods; peplum jackets; shorts; gold; zips; boot-cuts/flares; cut-outs; stretch tailoring; across-the-body bags; fishtail skirts; velvet; needle heels; neat-handled bags; knee-high socks, walking boots.  Well, I guess I have to learn first what some of these words mean...
