It's getting bigger & greater: what's in store for FW at Spiga2? Who are the (42) designers that were spotted entry? Get the trends, but first discover the brands.
Last year, Spiga2 shook the fashion system with a most unconventional yet beneficial idea: letting the fashion “youth” shine under the support of an established name in the industry, Dolce&Gabbana. This being the 3rd season, Spiga2 is growing and showcasing more talents for us to dish our wardrobes with. Of course, the lucky Milanese crowd will get to hang out at the many future events that will rotate around the new collections. Let's take a look at the returning and fresh additions to FW 2012, forty two to be precise.

femininity, a tale of passion that starts from anywhere but explodes
ever-present.

Kinder Aggugini from the many times he was pointed out as being amazingly

shows just how London-impregnated he is. His designs are unsettling. Create a
macabre yet fun world in which to navigate with spirit.

us? This remains to be worn.
