Marni Catwalk Fashion Show Milan FW2018

Powerful bright and duo colored looks followed up each other on the Marni runway this Sunday morning. They told a lovely story of strong coats and cosy tea dresses. Perfectly accessorized by chunky earrings (did you see those XL feathers?!), wide belts, platform sandals and colourful handbags. But it wasn’t even the looks of the collection that impressed the most. It was the story of even the philosophy behind it, which spoke of sustainability as designer Francesco Risso called this collection “Techno-primitivism”. “The contrast between our irresistible love of innovation and technology. And the other side, the movements of the soul that you cannot bring to a technological meaning”, he explained. And so the show area had the looks of a hoarder’s garage and we sat down on bales of disposed fabrics. Giving the clothes a second look you could see the treads hanging from every piece of fabric. From the blanket wraps to the bright nylon raincoats. It felt as if Risso had used up all his leftover materials. Especially as coats existed of two completely different parts (because there simply wasn’t enough fabric to make a complete coat?) appeared. And having seen the brilliant turnout of this let’s hope more designers will show off their ethical creative side in the future.

 

Dolce & Gabbana Catwalk Fashion Show Milan FW2018

It feels Dolce & Gabbana –just like Gucci- is getting more costum-y with every season. And so a perfect dress-up fairytale unraveled this weekend. It included purple track suits and gold encrusted dresses. Angel prints and cross shaped accessories revealed the show’s there; Catholicism was the source of inspiration for the designers that never skip a church visit before their fashion show. Little black lace dresses still formed the ultimate Dolce & Gabbana classics as an all over zebra outfit as well as a head to toe leopard de luxe look (naturally) felt a little too cartoony. Daywear sequins, sportswear inspired pants and elegant robes were a perfect match with the occurring trends of the moment (score!) So if you were to pick the right elements out from this collection and downgrade them you won’t be that much of a fashion sinner at your family dinner. On the other hand, in the right setting an overstated floor sweeping red dress styled with a bunch of cross chains easily gives you that vavavoom appeal you’re looking for. And who better than Dolce & Gabbana to give your credits to? Oh and we must confess we’d like a golden crown accessory with just about any outfit.

Missoni Catwalk Fashion Show Milan FW2018

Floor length coats, flared pants and dresses were dragged over a wet concrete runway at Missoni this Saturday. The layered, multi colored menswear and womenswear looks are part of Missoni’s 65th anniversary. And so Angela Missoni presented us with a mix of cultural references (Scottish, African, Italian, Jamaican), color clashes and style variations shown by a very diverse selection of models. The textured, patchwork, layered looks had a very vintag-y feel to them, mostly seventies inspired. Airy lurex and chunky knits met each other in kaleidoscopic prints and patterns. Stripes, checks, graphic knitwear and the brand’s iconic zigzags formed a vibrant fall line up styled of with buckle bags, long necklaces and XL hats. Lots to see, lots to love. And we’ve already put that mint green bathrobe as well as that floor sweeping pink lurex dress up on our wishlist.

Versace Catwalk Fashion Show Milan FW2018

Might you already wonder what trends you’ll be rocking in a year from now. Donatella presented all of the musthaves for fall/winter 2018 in her fresh and vibrant show this Friday. In terms of accentuated waists and hour glass figures her models sported classic, wide black Versace waist belts with golden buckles and bustiers that cinched in logo printed T-shirts. She managed to work bright colored footballer scarves (as well as printed silk scarves) and tartan checks into her sexy looks. She re-introduced the ball gown + T-shirt combination. She stressed the power of a little black (belted) dress and has us craving for chunky tassel earrings, animal printed tights and berets. Lots of references and throwbacks to Versace hits from the past. Yet still the show felt fresh and Donatella managed to give us her updated view on Versace sexy. The Versace sexy her brother Gianni introduced back in the days, which we’re currently reliving while binge watching The Assassination of Gianni Versace this weekend. Fashion inspiration and references for years and years to come.

Max Mara Catwalk Fashion Show Milan FW2018

Supermodels Lara Stone, Doutzen Kroes and Joan Smalls, and Halima Adel as well as (the daughters of ’80s supermodels) Gigi Hadid and Kaia Gerber followed up each other on the runway as the Max Mara show started off. They sported extravagant and fierce looks, like animal printed fur skirts, tops and oversized coats. And of course it wasn’t long before the camel coat popped up (look 2, Doutzen Kroes). How could they skip that after the enormous success of their FW2017 teddy coat. But for anyone who’s become bored of this winter hit Max Mara did offer some new coat options. Like black leather trenches, duffel coats, raincoats and military coats (paired with a branded hoodie) to beat next year’s winter cold that is hitting Northen Europe right now. The logo tees that popped up all throughout the show weren’t too impressive, but coat-wise Max Mara’s got us excited. This is not the last you’ve seen of that pink fur coat, we tell ya!

Prada Catwalk Fashion Show Milan FW2018

Heavy tweed coats and neon colored dresses painted the Prada picture for FW2018. The collection filled with nineties styles, digital prints, logo’s and nylon felt sporty and highly Instagrammable. Neon colors represented the freedom of women. “I imagined a super sexy woman waling down the street at night without being harasser. This line is about the freedom of women going out at night”, Miuccia stated backstage. Layered looks had so much detail, we didn’t even get a chance to see everything properly. But the overall feeling was funky and fresh. And so this might just be the collection that’ll put Prada back on the map.

Moschino Catwalk Fashion Show Milan FW2018

Inspired by his own JFK conspiracy theory Jeremy Scott came up with the idea to let Jackie Kennedy walk his show. So from Kaia Gerber (the first look) to Gigi Hadid (the final look) all Moschino models had the same Jackie O appearance (and hair style!). In his own little fashion fantasy Scott figured Jackie Kennedy might have been an alien and so some of the models were painted orange, yellow and green. Besides this ridicilousnous the clothes were as signature Scott as you’d imagine. Bright colored skirt suits, superhero inspired, figure hugging evening gowns with capes, illustrated pop art printed dresses. Bags, hats, earrings, belts and shoes to match. All very glam, very pop-y, very Barbie (a familiair territory for the designer), yet by no means anything Jackie O would have actually worn to any of her official appearances. Luckily presidential candidates and First Ladies aren’t necessarily Moschino’s target audience and this sexy, statement collection will without a doubt please the real fans of the brand. They might even consider the full body paint.
