Lots of classic elegance and timeless drama at Milan Fashion Week for Spring 2013. It’s as if the world isn’t moving forward at all, so gowns for everybody!

You know those outfits on Project Runway that Heidi, Nina, and Michael swear would be great for the office and you’re looking at the judges like “Whaaaa????” because a one-shouldered chiffon blouse and white palazzo pants may as well be showgirl attire amidst the chinos and polos in your office? You know those outfits?

Totally Mrs. Jetson.
Fendi
Disco Auntie Entity.
Dolce and Gabbana
Wicker exoskeleton. Seems like the wicker needs something light and sheer over it. Without a chiffon overlay or something, it’s straight from that episode of Gilligan’s Island where the Professor tried to upgrade Mary-Ann into a sexbot with a coconut engine.
Bluemarine
Arrakis loungewear.

Molton lava. She looks like she climbed out of a volcano. Only without getting incinerated.

Lisa Fary's earliest influences are Princess Leia, Rainbow Bright, Astronaut Barbie, and her 6th grade teacher, Ms. Palmer. She's angry that it's 2011 and she still doesn't have a hovercraft, but will accept a jetpack as consolation. That jetpack had better be pink with a rhinestone monogram.
