PLUSH and pink was the setting for Alessandro Michele’s SS17 Gucci offering, in a showy show that flirted with all the trimmings of a Wes Anderson-ian fairytale. As the star of the collection, the clothing took...
IN MILAN this season Liborio Capizzi, the Sicilian born prêt-à -porter provocateur with a couturier’s sensibility, presented Transgenia to the fashion press in the Italian fashion capital. Making a uni...
SHE wore black velvet, blacker then velvet was the night this season at Giorgio Armani AW16. This plush choice of cloth was at the pinnacle of the Italian designer’s latest collection, which lavished all attent...
Miuccia Prada already gave us a taste of her AW16 collection back in January during MFW Men’s as she had girls in sailor hats and wool stockings with chequered playing-cards suit pattern intruding into the men’...
For AW16, Alessandra Facchinetti continued with the theme of the cool girl that she set last season for Tod’s. Only this time, she’s not in a rock band anymore. Whatever she does, she does it well-dressed in lu...
Tomas Maier proved himself undisputedly as one of the most mature designers on the block in Milan this season with his AW16 collection for Bottega Veneta. Producing clothing of a discerning confidence, what mor...
At Versace this season Donatella Versace ticked all the right boxes for the modern Versace woman, empowered in such a way that she is neither restricted by her wardrobe choices nor her right to display her own ...
This season, Jeremy Scott showed himself to be a designer much more suitable to lead a house in new directions that don’t include Spongebob Squarepants or the Powerpuff Girls in Milan. Far from that, the only m...
In Milan this season Roberto Cavalli’s Peter Dundas worked his magic at the Italian fashion house, once again adopting the decadent boho-luxe of the moment and bringing it to Cavalli in manner of fact, frilly e...
What do you get when you take a chunk of ‘60s, a dash of the ‘70s, a slight sprinkle of ‘90s streetwear and a whole lot of colour? Cristiano Burani’s SS16 collection. It was an eye opening blend of the 20th cen...
Bloomers. Thanks, Karl. According to Milan’s most formidable trend-maker, those peculiarly gathered shorts are what we’ll all be wearing come Spring.
That said, if anyone can make sure a long-forgotten piece...
A lot of Marni’s collection for SS16 in many ways didn’t exactly resemble the usual and expected attire for the spring/summer season. Models with lashes like blinking eye dolls and tied up glossy hair with a 19...
Giorgio Armani’s masterful hand was at work in Milan this season and did not make one single slip. A firecracker red was the colour the designer singled out among others for SS16, but despite this intense hue A...
At Dsquared2 this season powerhouse twosome Dean and Dan Caten did things their way and were generally onto a winner when it came to kooky summery clothing, tinged with a strappy, slinky beachwear theme that is...
The success story of Moschino by Jeremy Scott rags and instant riches continued this season in which the references were as heavily applied as ever, with Scott flicking through the fashion history books and rew...
Seeing that Dolce & Gabbana have just about cemented themselves as the one and only authority on Italianate style, this season emphasised that theory with an overtly Euro and thankfully not so trashy displa...
Credit it, perhaps, to the roaring success of Anthony Vaccarello’s rock n roll new Versus, but this season saw Donatella Versace drive her mainline in a decidedly more mature direction. SS16 is for the grown-up...
Peter Dundas, Roberto Cavalli’s newly appointed creative director, has slipped into his new position seamlessly and in some ways going full circle in fact, after beginning his career at the attitude emblazoned ...
In a mood that moves more towards the antithesis of the relentless fashion cycle that we face each season, Bottega Veneta’s Tomas Maier has let loose this SS16 and yearned for freedom. Basing his latest collect...
This week at the Emilio Pucci SS16 ready to wear show, there was a moderate explosion of colour, coral and everything cut-out. It was a feast for the eyes with everything it had to offer. All with an exotic twi...
