Italian designers are channelling Pluto In Capricorn brilliantly.

This is from an Associated Press article about the men’s fashion collections.

“…In these shaky economic times, Italian designers have chosen rags over riches for their fall-winter 2009-2010 menswear collections, currently previewing on the Milan runway…Gone are the trademark flashy fabrics, dandy designs and macho models, replaced by classic sporty styles in sensible wool, worn by almost boringly average young men….

‘At a time like this, you have to think positive and work hard,’ said Stefano Gabbana in a chat with reporters…

Miuccia Prada on Sunday evening used her minimalist wand to combat the crisis with one of her most essential collections ever. The almost all black and gray show featured jackets and coats with neither lapels nor buttons, slim slacks and plain sweaters. The only details in the collection were the myriad of studs, which dot white shirts, slacks and classic footwear, like mini nails securing the outfits to the body….”

Three tiny things I have noticed since Pluto went properly into Capricorn & the G.F.C etc:  Nobody I know is complaining about having to work too hard , staff in upmarket stores have lost all vestige of their previously sometimes snippy airs & holidays are passe. It’s now all about weaving mini-breaks into one’s day. ie; sleep, the gym, some relaxing scouring of the house from top to bottom.

Note also the models above. Other than their beauty & the interesting trend of monochromatic make-up with big hair concealing beige bandanna things, they could almost be three elite cleaners.
