MILAN - Stylist and fashion blogger, Maria, was caught by The Genteel during Milan Fashion Week. On Via Montenapoleone, at a moment when every conceivable style and fashion lover was weaving through cyclists, pedestrians and cars (who are we kidding, there is no singular moment of this kind on Via Montenapoleone), all I could focus on was this red doll.
Her crocheted lace collar is ever so delicate. Her entire get up is sublime, with special accolades towards her red Miu Mius on white socks. Is it okay to say that, in the most flattering way possible, she reminds me of my favourite treat from Magnolia Bakery, the red velvet cupcake?
