Versace spring-summer 2011 at Milan Fashion Week 2011

Versace spring-summer 2011 at Milan Fashion Week 2011: Donatella Versace made the attraction of opposites the key focus of her spring/summer 2011 collection at Milan Fashion Week tonight.She offset thigh-high hemlines with “the new long”, a slim pencil that covered the knee.She contrasted cheeky cutouts, panels of see-through PVC, and rib cage-skimming jackets with high waisted skirts and modest necklines.

And she mixed plain white and beige with sharp, bright, primary stripes in red, turquoise and yellow, with black and white.

The Greek “fret” or “key” motif, first used by her late brother, Gianni, was a major element in this snappy, sculptured show.Like a frieze on a Delphic temple, it traced a line down the torso, on a slim patent belt around the waist, or in the flurry of multicolored fringing which marked the sexy little party-dresses, and cutaway tops with slim skirts.Many dresses featured equestrian-look “martingale” straps at the back, or sides, criss-crossing over bare flesh.Donatella Versace also wrote the epitaph for the famous Versace “platform”, accessorising all her models with spike-heeled, multi-strapped shoes with a “zero sole”.For red carpet devotees, she returned to a favourite theme, the Greek Goddess, with a parade of bra-top gowns, in red, turquoise, beige and white, swathed over the bodice with silk fringes, which then cascaded over the long skirts.
The Mad Men actress January Jones, together with Jada Pinkett-Smith, and her singer-daughter, Willow, and Alex James of Blur, were expected at the second showing of the Versace collection later tonight.
The Versace collection also featured several pieces of knitwear inspired by the young British designer, Louise Goldin, the British Fashion Council Fashion Forward winner, sponsored by Coutts, who has just started a consultancy project with the Italian brand.

'Sex and the City' star Kim Cattrall says she's been dieting for most of her life and has to work hard to maintain her enviable figure. 

 

Kim Cattrall says she's been dieting for most of her life.The 54-year-old actress - famed for her role as sexy man-eater Samantha Jones in the 'Sex and the City' franchise - admits she has always had to watch what she eats and take regular exercise in order to maintain her enviable figure.Kim - who is the new spokesperson for low fat spread I Can't Believe It's Not Butter - said: "I've been dieting my whole life because I have a tremendous appetite. This generation of women that I'm in, we have been brought up with Jane Fonda workout tapes and fresh air is good for you and exercise every day and drink eight cups of water and it's paid off at this time of my life."However, Kim admits it's getting harder to stay in shape now she's getting older.
She revealed: "It gets harder because parts of my body don't want to be on a diet, but at the same time it gets me up in the morning to work out."Kim has previously revealed she wants to look her age and has no interest in undergoing cosmetic procedures.The blonde beauty said: "I don't want to look 19. I don't want to look as perfect and beautiful as the fabulous Carey Mulligan. I like the way I look. And when I look at my mum I have less to be frightened of - I am blessed with her cheekbones, and those help."
