While we love just about anything Miuccia Prada creates (her Spring 2012 collection included), we have to admit that sometimes, while intriguing, her ideas can seem hard to imagine in playing a role in real life. Although this season with its retro Italian glamor, wicked hot-rod motifs and red-hot flame prints seemed a tad bit tricky although wholly covetable, served as no exception as it dangerously teetered on the good taste divide with its decadent juxtaposition of references high & low. >>More: Prada But then again, look at how delightful actress Freida Pinto looked in a hot-rod printed number at the recent celebration of Nylon magazine's 13th anniversary while hitting upon the season's must-have color block trend. >>More: Celebrity Style One of the major reasons the

With rich colors and prints a plenty, some of the more subtle and best ideas in Milan for Spring 2012 may have been easy to miss, so we thought it would be a good time to take a moment and look back before the crush of Paris takes over.

MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS Prada (and above) Vintage ladylike bags got revved up with ingenious graphic appliqué automobiles complete with Prada license plates that are certain to be seen everywhere come Spring.

You've got that perfect gala gown, you're in great shape, don't let your insecurities get the best of you! Last week actress Patricia Clarkson looked on par with other elegantly turned out celebs in Yves Saint Laurent at a fete for The Metropolitan Opera, and while she looked fantastic in a black-tie gala gown fit for a beauty, she took to hiding her hands and neck in a rather aggressive manner. >>More: Age Appropriate Fashion Tips She looks great, in great shape and all, no doubt about it, yet her plain black opera length gloves and caped neck give off a look that's closer to a gothic maven rather than a starlet trying to recapture old-school Hollywood glamor. If you're

Now that the month-long block of consecutive international fashion show's has come to an end, here's a look at our favorites from Paris, the city of light and superior design(in our minds). From Balenciaga's thoroughly modern take on 60's futurism to Limi Feu's wearable avant-garde goods, there was plenty of high-style propositions for everyone. MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS Balenciaga (and above) After 10 years of riveting, out-of-this-world collections season in & season out, Nicolas Ghesquiere was back with another astounding sci-fi take on 60's futurism mashed with the rigor and depth of Cristobal Balenciaga's couture minded trapeze shapes. Paired with his sense of futurism, his continual references to the house's heritage have made his latest collections enviable winners. Opening with a selection of chic foamy color-blocked

Take a cue from Gia Coppola's fresh ladylike take on the classic juxtaposition of leather & lace and make it work for you: Known for her strikingly girly take on deluxe classics, last week Gia Coppola turned heads in a fiery red Valentino leather and lace combo that spoke volumes on the sophistication leather has taken hold of over the past few seasons. >>More: Valentino Imagined in virtually every iteration possible, leather is one key trend that remains at the top of every fashion insiders list as it adds a cool, albeit sexy note to just about any look. >>MORE: Leather StyleWhat made it work on Coppola without looking like a tart (we are talking red leather & lace here) was her

Since some of the best eye-catching ideas we saw at London Fashion Week for Spring 2012 may have been easy to miss at first glance, we wanted to look back and focus on the most surprising, clever and inspiring details that caught our attention. MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS Christopher Kane(and above) In a season full of flower power, Christopher Kane's playful alternative featuring printed cut-out collage patches makes for one of the wittiest takes we've seen for such a femme motif. Erdem While Erdem's sheer lace boater was the perfect topper for an ultra sweet look, we see it becoming a smart, cheeky add-on to all kinds of outfits come Spring. Peter Pilotto Cut-outs with a baroque inetensity were made ultra

Absolutely YES to disco feet. Mirrored heels are the grown-up alternative to Miu Miu's glittery shoes (and their 50 million copies) that were the club set must-have shoe for fall.

Regardless of the timing, the Jimmy Choo 'Union Jack' collection boasts must-have updates to signature shapes emblazoned with a rendering of the British flag with a favorite of ours being the playful take on a classic loafer (below). In thier words: With the eyes of the world squarely on London this season, and in celebration of the brand’s British heritage, Jimmy Choo offers an exclusive wardrobe of Union Jack accessories poised to make their own British Invasion. The Jimmy Choo interpretation of the red, white and blue Union flag is printed on white

Lily Collins updates the idea of a summer maxi dress... While the idea of wearing a printed maxi dress seems like nothing new and quite uninspiring to say the least, actress Lily Collins brought a new lease on the languid looking, enviable comfort inducing maxi last week in Peter Som. >> RELATED: How to wear a maxi skirt The dress' hybrid capelet shape lent the piece's faded digital print a sophisticated and even unexpected dose of elegance while keeping the young starlet age-appropriately covered up and all the more inspiring for it. We suggest you take a cue from Collins and shop for maxi's that evoke a subtle change in direction when it comes to silhouette as there's nothing more

With all eyes east, business in Russia & China continues to boom as everyone races to make their mark on the zones formerly not so well-known, first up, Prada Moscow: Prada's signature rich, unexpected and often challenging takes on retro ladylike dressing should do Moscow well as they bring with them a slew of new sartorial codes to a city who's sense of style is often overlooked amongst the international fashion set. Prada's recent reception to celebrate it's Russian expansion with a Stoleshnikov store opening in Moscow last week brought out a bevy of tres-chic Russian luminaries who made pieces from the labels S/S 2012 collection all their own including Renata Litvinova (above), who added a surreal tote to her otherwise forever-feminine dotted
