Boss: Ready-To-Wear SS20
There’s a utility vibe coursing through Milan and it’s swept as far as Boss. The tailoring giant, which has decamped from New York to MFW, opened its co-ed show with cropped military jackets and wide strides, rendered in pure white.
Giorgio Armani: Ready-To-Wear SS20
Via Borgonuovo 11, is the centre of the Armani universe. Mr Armani lives on this street, has offices here and for years it was his show venue, before he built his vast theatre complex further out of town. Now the
MSGM: Ready-To-Wear SS20
The runway was painted a punchy shade of highlighter green and the MSGM clothes shared the same impossible-to-ignore sentiment. The SS20 collection was bright, photogenic and upbeat, with plenty of quirks. Yes there was suiting, but it came in primrose
Etro: Ready-To-Wear SS20
Plain fabrications don’t exist in the Etro world. Texture, colour print, decoration, shot through with a worldly, well-travelled, bohemian sensibility are the order of play. It’s not about trends but an approach to life. If you are a dreamer, if
Sportmax: Ready-To-Wear SS20
Sails wafting gently above the runway accompanied by the sounds of the sea: The Sportmax catwalk was inspired by kinetic installation artist Daniel Wurtzel and the touch point was sailing with rubberised pea coats, billowing cotton dresses worn under canvas
Versace: Ready-To-Wear SS20
JLo, in full strut mode, at close quarters, a wake of jungle print chiffon trailing behind her. That body. That face. That attitude. This is what peak fabulosity looks like. Peak fashion too. As pop culture moments go, JLo recreating her
Max Mara: Ready-To-Wear SS20
As talk of a female replacement for James Bond builds and Harriet Walter’s new female novel about to drop, Ian Griffiths had a special agent's wardrobe in mind. Imagining what she might wear in different scenes, his approach was filmic
Bottega Veneta: Ready-To-Wear SS20
“I want to be bold, otherwise what’s the point. I’m quite black or white. I want to make a statement. I don’t see the point in making fashion that’s not saying something.” So said @bottegaveneta’s Daniel Lee, the young man
Fendi: Ready-To-Wear SS20
This was the first Fendi women’s show for fifty years that would not have the hand of Karl Lagerfeld on it. The legendary designer died whilst working on the AW19 collection and this new SS20 dawn, designed by a solo
Moschino: Ready-To-Wear SS20
What fun it must be to be inside Jeremy Scott’s head. He fixes upon an idea and lets his imagination run riot over it – always with a clever sense of humour. “I was very inspired by Picasso’s muses.” Wives,
No21: Ready-To-Wear SS20
Everything’s coming up daisies. Alessandro Dell’Acqua used the feel-good spring time flower head to toe throughout his upbeat collection. Who knew there were so many different ways to wear it. There were daisy print coats, utility shirts, voluminous dresses and
Prada: Ready-To-Wear SS20
It was ultra-Prada, the essence of the house distilled, extracted and served to a new generation. Bourgeois elegance subverted by wilful eccentricity for the purpose of making something new. Mrs Prada knows about desire. She has the ability to make you
Burberry: Ready-To-Wear SS20
What are Riccardo Tisci’s ambitions for Burberry? A not-so-subtle clue - the show venue in Shepherd’s Bush was emblazoned with a version of the Burberry logo that was so big it could be seen from space - evidence of the
Roksanda: Ready-To-Wear SS20
There always an artist at the heart of Roksanda Ilincic's collections. This season she referenced several, from the yellow “Christo” catwalk that snaked through the Serpentine pavilion to paint splattered, neon-splashed prints which referenced one of her favourite artists Mary
JW Anderson: Ready-To-Wear SS20
The JW Anderson world is full of unlikely collisions. How about a front row featuring Christina Aguilera in full diva mode next to pocket-sized action heroine Maisie Williams. Jonathan Anderson clearly curates his guest list like he curates his collections. Things
