Marni: Ready-to-wear AW17
It’s good morning from Milan and we begin today with a first - Francesco Risso’s debut womenswear outing for the house of Marni after his celebrated menswear offering a couple of months ago. And this was, by all accounts, a rather
Jil Sander: Ready-to-wear AW17
Jil Sander's girls are getting their glitz on. They don’t let their hair down often (call them disciplined) so take this as an occasion. Because the show ended with a glitzy metallic moment (we’re sniffing a bit of a trend
Erika Cavallini: Ready-to-wear AW17
The layering we saw at Erika Cavallini's SS17 show made a return here. This time, though, it felt a bit different. The roll-necks were still there, so too the turtle necks pulled up just beneath the eyes, this time in a
Emilio Pucci: Ready-to-wear AW17
Massimo Giorgetti's Emilio Pucci sure knows how to pack a punch, and AW17 was no exception. Should we do a colour check? Acid green, tangerine and highlighter pink were but three of the hues that sashayed down the equally colourful paisley
Giorgio Armani: Ready-to-wear AW17
Fresh from dressing just about everyone at last night’s Oscars (including Best Supporting Actress winner, Viola Davis) the work never stops for Mr Armani who showed his namesake line in Milan this morning. Although, having said that, this collection wasn’t
MSGM: Ready-to-wear AW17
For his MSGM men's show Massimo Giorgetti was inspired by the Queen. Elizabeth II, no less. And whilst he kept in the same vein for his AW17 women's show - it was a different queen. Little Edie from Grey Gardens. Just like
Dolce & Gabbana: Ready-to-wear AW17
Italians are well known for their love of their mamas. And, to be honest, la familia in general. Haven't you ever seen the Dolmio ads? Like that. And this, Dolce & Gabbana's AW17 collection was all about family, beginning with some
Bottega Veneta Show Their AW17 Men’s and Women’s Collections in Milan
There’s something of the Hitchcock heroine to this, Bottega Veneta's AW17 offering. Something about a cinched waist and a pitched shoulder will give you that. Not quite Grace Kelly in Rear Window, think more Kim Novak in Vertigo. A sort
Versace: Ready-to-wear AW17
How better to hammer home your point than repeating it over and over in the form of a pumping techno soundtrack? That message, presented by Versace today, being EQUALITY, repeated, let’s say, 300 times over the course of the show
Marco de Vincenzo: Ready-to-wear AW17
More more more. Just how we like it. We're greedy bitches, you see. Plenty for us piggies to devour at Marco de Vincenzo's AW17 show yesterday, because this was a collection all about maximalism - pile it high, sell it
Emporio Armani: Ready-to-wear AW17
Can we just start by saying that we’re all for the heavy use of clear PVC we’ve seen this season. We’re very much up for showing off the goods, as it were, and what better to do so than with
Diesel Black Gold: Ready-to-wear AW17
There’s something about this, Diesel Black Gold's AW17 collection, that I can’t quite put my finger on. I want to call it earthy. And not just because those initial looks came forth in earthy, muted tones, but there was something
Moschino: Ready-to-wear AW17
Don't get us wrong here, recycling is a very good cause. But generally we're unkeen on experiences that rest upon rooting our appendages about in a bag of, possibly moist, rubbish. Unless there's some sort of incentive. Or moments of
Byblos: Ready-to-wear AW17
Byblos will always hold a special place in my heart. Not necessarily referring here to the fashion label, though I am obviously very fond of their designs, but more the name itself, which, for anyone who's had the pleasure of
Prada: Ready-to-wear AW17
Remember the beds at Prada's AW17 menswear show? Those leather, wipe-down jobbies? Well, they were back. Sort of. This time they weren’t leather, but made up in girly, floral fabrics or fluffy puffs of pink or yellow fur. A bit like a
