The Blugirl fall/winter 2017-2018 ready-to-wear collection was showcased during Milan Fashion Week, and proved that edgy and adorable can, in fact, go hand in hand. Though the collection did provide a wide range of options, nothing in the collection was more special than the other. Throughout the entire show, it was obvious that the aesthetic was firmly planted between being edgy and cute.

Dresses were the bulk of the collection, many featuring lace bibs, high collars, ruffles and other similar Victorian details in a more more modern way. Velvet was as prominent in the collection as the sheer options were, definitely a fall detail and nearly every look featured a belt with a rectangular buckle. One of the most appreciable aspects of the Blugirl fall 2017 collection was the variance in the sheer pieces – none of them were exactly the same top to bottom or a sheer shirt over a differently printed under piece done six ways.

The designer, Anna Molinari chose her inspiration based on location that very obviously included Victorian London and Italy, the open and close of the show. In the middle, however, the aesthetics – in relation to their inspiring locations at least – were off. Were it not for the hats, I would not have put my finger on Saint Petersburg, Russia and what I will loosely term ‘African inspired’ section of the show left a lot to be desired based on some of the prints and silhouettes and the green velvet.

Some of the pieces in this section of the show just felt severely out of place with the rest of the collection, but not so much so that it would ruin the overall appeal. As an example, a leopard coat over a fun printed short dress with a mock turtleneck was cute, but would be better shown separately; together it was too much along with a green version of the belt that was shown throughout the collection. Anna Molinari took risks here certainly, and it will be interesting to see what buyers do with the options once they have them to filter though with their own aesthetics and wardrobes.

With the abundance of sheer styling options over the last few seasons, the Blugirl fall/winter 2017 collection could not be seen as risqué or an outlier, but thankfully many of the looks were very cute and right on par with the short velvet dresses. The looks were different enough that though we have seen many of these cute styled dresses before, we have not seen them exactly like this.

The concept of travel throughout the collection was also an interesting one, giving pause to which look featured the best interpretation of the area, though I personally feel her London inspired section rang the truest.

Blugirl’s creative director Anna Molinari just overwhelmed us with strong summery vibes unveiling her newest Blugirl spring/summer 2017 collection at Milan Fashion Week. Full of life like her previous Blugirl pre-spring 2017 line-up, yet slightly more mature and at times even sultrier than it, this collection seems to be suggesting us traveling the world, as all of its proposals celebrate those who have a globetrotter heart and a free-spirited soul.

This 42-piece collection is, in fact, extremely well variegated, with garments varying both in lines and colors. All of the pieces share, however, common themes. Besides the travelling motif, which also varies according to different destinations, this Blugirl spring 2017 collection also features Anna Molinari’s omnipresent floral patterns (many often refer to her as the “Queen of Roses”), strong ethnic-inspired patterns and a sense of verticality, which inevitably elongates all of the collection’s silhouettes.

As for the color palette, the collection is equally diverse, with Anna Molinari employing an abounding amount of different shades and often mixing them all together. She managed to skillfully combine soft pastel hues with richer, bolder colors, such as red, brown and mustard yellow, framing everything with a bright white hue that fancifully helps highlight all of the darker proposals.

While the white designs still remind us of most of the Blumarine pre-spring 2017 proposals, this time around Molinari opted for a few total black ensembles too, evolving her Blugirl twenty-something girl into a more mature, cosmopolitan kind of woman.

The Blugirl spring/summer 2017 ready-to-wear collection may be thus divided into four sections. The first one quickly introduces us to Molinari’s vertical lines, the black and white patterns of which catapult us to an unexpectedly warm summer in Northern Europe. Long parkas, leggings worn underneath boho-chic-inspired, off-the-shoulder dresses, cozy culottes and laced shirts with puffed-up shoulders seem to be made for all of the girls are in love with Berlin or Copenhagen, or for those who are planning to travel to these cities next summer.

The second part of the collection, on the other hand, favors horizontal over vertical stripes, the multicolored shades of which create an appealing contrast with the loads of black sheer fabrics Molinari utilized to enhance the figures. The designer still has the northern European capitals in mind here, while at the same time focusing on their multicultural backgrounds.

Ethnic-inspired motifs and stripes find instead their way to shine and happily coexist through the collection’s third part, where preppy frilly looks, layered cuts and shorter hems catapult us in southern Europe, whether we are dreaming about Provence in France, or about Anna Molinari’s beloved Capri in Italy. Here fresher looks meet Blugirl’s older sister Blumarine’s elegance, with long, tasseled necklaces and plunging V-necklines balancing the long, floor-length gowns.

The Blugirl spring/summer 2017 collection’s forth part is, instead, all about eclectic designs and jocose colors, the outcomes of which make us think about the sunny and wild shores of the Caribbean and South America. Here Anna Molinari is definitely not afraid to dare with quirky color-block motifs, ultra bright floral patterns and ethereally voluminous fabrics, which indeed were rays of sunshine on this rainy, dreary Milanese day.

Milano is officially in turmoil due to the long-awaited Milan Fashion Week, the runways of which began welcoming both models and spectators just a few hours ago with the Blugirl fall/winter 2016-2017 collection unveiled this morning. The current fashion week, as many insiders (or even designers, such as Gucci’s Alessandro Michele) have been revealing throughout this month, will be very likely filled with surprises and intriguing turning points for many fashion houses. One of the very first creative directors who showed up and unveiled her collection is Italian Anna Molinari, a long time habitué at the fancy Milan Fashion Week.

Molinari’s Blugirl fall 2016 ready-to-wear collection may be regarded as a perfect example of her unique point of views on fashion, the purpose being bringing a message of beauty and seduction, according to the fashion designer herself. This latest collection conveys such a message translating it to the clothes in a more contemporary way, making ample usage of some of this year’s trendiest prints and materials.

In terms of prints, Molinari enjoyed playing mainly with big floral and geometric patterns, the latter of which helped the contrasting and color-blocking motifs to increasingly grow and become the collection’s dynamic fil rouge. Although principally showcasing black, nude and white colors, Molinari opted for little touches of red, green and gray mélange, which on the one hand recreate snake leather embellishments, while on the other seem to celebrate the colors of Molinari’s homeland (most of the botanical proposals channel some big fluffy green, white and red flowers that look like the Italian flag).

Instead of leaving it all up to the colors, Molinari explored the vast fabrics too, alternating their textures to enhance the whole collection’s contrasting theme. Aside from some exquisitely delicate total white looks, Molinari’s proposals alternate lace with rich cotton, wool and silky materials, interrupting the rich textures with sensual see-through pieces. Extra-refined organza tunics and tulle skirts add a touch of daintiness to the total-black pieces, defining Molinari’s intention to bring a message of beauty and, at this point, even lightness to the entire collection. Lace gets intricately embroidered with both geometrical and botanical patterns, adding the sensual, yet sophisticated touch of femininity Molinari and her fans have always looked for.

What’s more interesting, however, is the lineup’s impressive attention to details. Anna Molinari put great emphasis on the neckline, hems and sleeves, letting them fully have their time to shine. That’s why the Blugirl FW 2016-17 ready-to-wear collection’s pilgrim and portrait collars got reinvented in a more contemporary way, meaning that instead of showing their rigidness they embraced the collection’s whole beauty concept, becoming less sharp and more fluid instead.

Chocker and ring collars definitely help elongate the silhouette thanks to well-served loads of pleats and at times even petite ribbons. Peplum, butterfly and puffed three-quarter sleeves surely give a vertical twist to the collection, redefining Victorian and Renaissance looks for a more cosmopolitan modern woman. That said, if you are looking for an unforgettable evening frock, sporting one of Molinari’s latest dresses could be the right choice.

Now that we finally got to the heart of Milan Fashion Week, we are surely about to have some fun. One of today’s first shows was the presentation of the Blugirl spring/summer 2016 collection, the name of which is automatically linked to Anna Molinari, the founder of Blufin S.p.A. Blufin is an Italian fashion house, the core brand of which is Blumarine (started in 1997), while other brands include Miss Blumarine, Blugirl and Anna Molinari. While Miss Blumarine is targeted towards pre-teens (aged 8 to 14), Blugirl is aimed at a more teenage audience. However, as already seen in the brand’s previous fall 2015 collection, Blugirl is not a little girl anymore, and her fashion choices are growing up as a result.

This upcoming summer, elegant and sophisticated young women will be wearing Blugirl, women that are confident in their own skin and like to play with earthy colors and delicate dresses. The first things one may notice about the entire line-up is the very few, yet energetic colors used to embellish all the outfits, which go from brown, dark green and ochre to red and blue. Even white, used for some trousers and maxi dresses, takes an earthy look and goes ivory. This choice seems to reflect Blugirl’s desire to create a versatile and timeless wardrobe for the modern, cosmopolitan woman. However, even if solid-colored outfits took control of the line-up, Blugirl enjoyed playing with some more cheerful butterfly prints and wide striped fabrics, which may represent one of the best daytime options for all those girls, who are going to attend elegant summer parties in 2016.

Sartorially speaking, there are even more interesting things about the collection to talk about. Inspired by the young days at Forte dei Marmi, the entire line can be divided into two themes – country chic and urban chic. For its country chic outfits, Blugirl opted for layered maxi dresses (mainly in ivory), the wide boat necklines of which make everything look effortlessly romantic. Other dresses, along with some shirts and t-shirts, come adorned with long or short layered puff sleeves, which are basically perfect for every figure and body type. The so-called country chic options of the show are definitely more mature and play with high-waisted slim-fit trousers, short shorts and crop tops. Leathery waist belts help this range of looks take a delicate feminine side, and are a good fit for anyone, who wants to achieve a balanced hourglass shape. However, while most of the belts are meant to adorn the high waist of the models, Blugirl decided to give the collection a Roaring Twenties twist as well with the help of the long drop waist maxi dresses.

Voluminous dresses with A-line ruffle skirts give playfulness to the collection, and become the intermediary pieces between the country chic and urban chic theme. For the urban chic part of the collection, Blugirl opted for shimmery oversized t-shirt dresses with short hemline, stripes fabrics and asymmetric straps, alternating them with oversized t-shirts and long white pants. These choices may be seen as a more sophisticated version of the tried-and-tested maritime look, which keeps on being successful since the Fifties. Last but not least, if you like fringe sandals but are not very fond of pastels colors, Blugirl may be the right choice for you!

It is an Italian fashion house with a name that can conjure many an image but since it is Italy we speak about, the wide horizons of deep blue seas pop up to the forefront with ease. Founded in Carpi by Anna Molinari and her late husband Gianpaolo Tarabini in 1977, it was originally known as Blumarine, followed by the pre-teen brand known as Miss Blumarine in 1987 and finally the Blugirl label for teenagers established in 1995. The Blugirl brand has been shown in the Milan international fashion shows since 2002, while dedicated boutiques are available in many cities around the world, including Kiev, Nagoya and Taipei. Anna Molinari’s nickname sums up her collections as well, being described as the queen of roses for her fondness of the flowers that seem to embody the very essence of femininity and sensuality.

With this particular Blugirl fall/winter 2015-2016 collection presented today on the Milan Fashion Week runway, it is clear that the Blugirl teenager is growing up quite nicely, with her skirt suits and cropped pantsuits showing off a figure that has not been synonymous with the teenage female form for many years. This is the fun woman in a youthful body, wearing everything from a stylized uniform to a vest thrown over floral printed dresses. This is the woman who can also be a little girl at heart, who can wear a tunic and loose pant design with ease, the one who can pull off a red chiffon embroidered skirt and show off her legs underneath without batting an eye. She’s the one who can pull on a shiny neoprene blouse and rock the lacy pieces as if she was made for them. She’s the country bumpkin and the chic classy lady from the city, the one who knows cultures well and the one who has held onto her innocence despite her experience sin this world.

The dresses with the floral and fruit table patterns are intriguing, particularly when combined with the other signature pattern in this collection that seems to include dodgy abstract bug forms. There are many tunics won on this runway, as well as bright shiny materials that come in silver metallic pants and gilded metallic belts. She rocks the red lipstick and has her hair curled in a retro ‘do that somehow reminds us of the 1980s movies of old, or even of “Baby” from Dirty Dancing. Truth be told, there seems to be a major influence from that particular time period if not from the movie itself.

The Blugirl fall/winter 2015-2016 collection focuses on a simple color scheme, with shades of blues and later on some reds, shades of greys and a touch of brown in lighter more caramel looks and darker, muddier designs. Perhaps one of our favourite looks is the stark white dress with the black leather belt T-tied belt and the matching white jacket over the shoulders, the collar studded with silver and stones. Yet nothing beats that final look with the white base floral and fruits printed coat over the red plunge neck shirt and white cropped pants, finished off with gilded flats and a gilded T-belt. The cherry red lips and the long curling hair from a center part are enough to get the blood boiling with this look, the fun and the sexy so easily spotted among the line-up.

The looks made of relaxed shirtdresses fastened with a belt at the waist come right after presenting another noteworthy inclination for these bohemian retro looks. Floral motives and abstracted design patterns come next, matching the creatively picked and designed transparency plays coming for pieces like skirts of white shade. The hippie inspired messy looks could also be found here, the decorative details about which are the head kerchiefs covering almost the whole of the models’ hair.
Embroidery and transparency and layered plays with chiffon seem to be quite popular for the season too and the Blugirl spring/summer 2015 collection also has some great exemplars of such looks. The cutest lace minidresses sort of bringing back the trend of lace dresses as such should also be noted in the list of the top looks. The same can be said about the unexpected combination of the classy floor length chiffon dress with long sleeves, matched with a brown backpack.
Further, as the collection progresses the looks get more intense and the colors become more saturated with the designs diversifying accordingly. Thus, we also see some ranges of blue and red pieces, which come with super interesting design interpretations and solutions, still quickly being followed with some more awe-inspiring and surprising looks like the camouflage patterns for outerwear pieces that are meant to be matched with pinky shorts and a navy blue top, or even combinations of sweet roses for a jacket, which come synthesized with camouflage prints of the sleeves. The dresses could not stay away from these looks either, and they quickly come combined with the sweet florals for some more cute A-line and fuller dresses all cut on the mini level.

Checkered patterns for blue and black pieces take the center stage next, being matched with leather outerwear pieces and army-inspired boots. The range of creamy looks and the randomized designs of the black pieces coming with glittery textures, asymmetrical designs and much more are what the Blugirl spring/summer 2015 collection is finished up with, leaving you with one more creative and classy range of opportunities for having the most impeccable looks for the coming season!

For quite a long time the Italian fashion house Blugirl has amazed its active followers and passionate fans with romantic and high-class apparels. The new Blugirl spring/summer 2014 collection was finally unveiled at Milan Fashion Week yesterday and surely shocked the audience with the feminine and classic touches. The stunning collection is inspired by Julie Christie’s character in the famous movie “Darling”. Indeed, the dresses are elegant, classy and cozy. What else does a woman need to be attractive and noticed?

You see the evolution of the mature and competent fashioner in the Blugirl spring/summer 2014 collection, where the relaxing tints of blue, silver, pink and green emphasize the blossom in nature and the coming of new adventures and undoubtedly promising spring. The main material used to create these chic dresses is the high-class silk though there are some casual simple cotton looks as well. You also see some Chinese elements in the apparels, such as the traditional hats and the blatant red.
The first look of the show is a simple knee-length white dress with small blue buttons and a big blue Peter Pan collar. At first sight, the dress may seem not much appealing and noticeable, though it will surely make dentists or doctors hot. The next designs showcased are more fashionable and elegant. The silk bronze skirt with silk indigo shirt is a perfect look to visit your old friends to have a fun time and create unforgettable memories. There are also some back-to-school looks in the Blugirl spring/summer 2014 collection, such is the little cute sundress with a huge oval cropped neck worn over a crisp white shirt.

This year the designer doesn’t have any red-carpet looks, but she doesn’t lack really feminine and attractive pieces of arty dresses. The canary raincoat worn over an adorable white dress is indeed a royal or artistic look that will look perfect even on the Duchess of Cambridge. You will be easily noticeable and stunningly chic wearing either the creamy or yellow long silk dresses that will perfectly show your ideal body making it more desirable and tempting.
The Blugirl fashion house is doing better and better every year, and the newly released Blugirl spring/summer 2014 collection is just the proof that their sophistication and creativity increases over experience.
