Bottega Veneta Catwalk Fashion Show Milan Womenswear SS2015

Luxurious, sophisticated, elegant; words coming to mind while watching Bottega Veneta’s fifties style collection. Undone ballerina buns, multicolored brogues and the label’s famous leather bags were the extra’s to Tomas Maier’s feminine summer creations. In a palette of faded pastels, denim blue and black he sent out his flattering city chic designs. Silky tops with tied belts, a floor sweeping trench, high waisted shorts and a cropped top, belted gingham dresses and long cardigans. Dark denim almost came in disguise, used on a number of dresses, a suit and a very masculine pair of jeans. Dark denim that turned into black for evening with floral appliqués to add some extra glamour. With a summer wardrobe like this, BV’s woman will never be underdressed.

Versace Catwalk Fashion Show Milan Womenswear SS2015

On a mirrored runway Donatella Versace presented her collection for next summer. And a mirrored (dance) floor probably is the best spot to work her latest range of disco appropriate dresses. Sexy silhouettes, bold colors, shiny, glittery straps, shoes ands bags to match the outfits and the company’s logo all over it. No evening gowns here, just a raunchy range of sheer, mesh and cut-out party creations. The fashion feeling of the Italian label was in the large stitching, the geometric prints and cutouts (of the Versace logo and some rings) the wet hair look and the minimal use of make-up. Now let’s dance!

Missoni Catwalk Fashion Show Milan Womenswear SS2015

Seating celebrities front row at your fashion show might not be such a thing anymore, Johnny, Angela Missoni’s English bulldog, did earn his ‘frow’ spot at Missoni. And there’s no doubt about Johnny liking the sugar sweet, ultra light spring collection. Although the extremely long and lean knitted dresses would probably not be a perfect match. Relaxing maxi skirts, dresses and trenchcoats with lace and tulle parts followed each other in rainbow pastel shades with not only a subtle vector print but some wave and floral details too. Like at Fendi the orchid popped up quite a few times. Flat sandals, colored turbans and bright red lips topping the full on summer looks off.

Sportmax catwalk Fashion Show Milan Womenswear SS2015

While Max Mara was nice, but not necessarily mind blowing, it’s little sister Sportmax was impressive with a collection full of XL check prints and culottes. The designs felt young as crop tops, hands in the pockets, hair pulled back and bare faces made it look modern. Models sported strapless dresses, belted kimono tops, checked pencil skirts with matching jackets and furry/fringed sweaters. All in a sophisticated color palette of blacks and whites, olive green and a bright touch of orange. Work attires, relax outfits and quite a few party numbers; for upcoming summer Sportmax is bound to appeal to a wide range of female customers.

Prada Catwalk Fashion Show Milan Womenswear SS2015

When it comes to show backdrops it’s hard to top Chanel and it’s enormous decors. Still, Prada has been creating some impressive ones for it’s shows over the past few year. This week lilac coloured sand-dunes formed the backdrop of Prada’s summer collection. Although summer was not the first word coming to mind when looking at the passing creations. Due the moody vibe of the show, the choice of heavy and rich fabrics (the knitwear, the fur, the leather, the brocades) and the first half of the collection containing mostly dark coats autumn might be more of a seasonal match. Nevertheless designs were impressive in the way only Miuccia Prada can impress. Coats, a lot of them, had obvious topstitching and most clothes with undone frayed ends had a patchwork design to them. With 30 different types of brocades worked into the collection, creating modern pieces of reproduced antique textiles. Something old turned into something new; luxurious yet undone. Elegant earrings, knee socks and oddly shaped blog boots put the Prada S/S2015 look together. A look returning models (after quite a period of absence) Gemma Ward (opening) and Lara Stone (closing) were able to pull off fabulously.

Fendi Catwalk Fashion Show Milan Womenswear SS2015

With Cara Delevingne leading the way Fendi looked young and fresh. The orchid played the biggest part in the collection as it popped up as a print on the first ten or so designs. Only to appear as a application on leather designs as well as a decoration in the models’ hair and even on the bags. Oh those bags, they probably deserve a show of their own, especially the little ones attached to some larger models for the occasion.
But back to the clothes.. Karl and Silvia created a-line dresses, fringed sweaters, sheer skirts, cropped boxy tops and asymmetrical structured playsuits. Colors of choice were fresh, ranging from black and white to navy and cacao. There was some use of plastic layers as denim made it’s first ever appearance on a Fendi show. Some fun, furry numbers even concluded the show and, unlike at other shows, seemed a perfect fit for a midsummer Fendi feast.

Alberta Ferretti Catwalk Fashion Show Milan Womenswear SS2015

 

Floor sweeping maxi dresses, pastel shades and embroidered flowers; Alberta Ferretti is sticking to her sweet, soft and feminine signature. Yet, for s/s2015 the Italian designer did manage to appeal to a slightly younger target group. Instead of just perfect, romantic wedding guest proof dresses she dug into the free spirited world of hippies and festivals. In between her series of seventies inspired designs she surprised us with a few denim creations as suede, feathers and countless fringe accents added to the hippie vibe of the collection. White lace, floral embroidered dresses paired with suede waistcoats and fringed gladiator sandals certainly deserve a place at next year’s Coachella. As does a silky pair of shorts combined with a brown shaded braided crop top. And for anyone not attending a wedding or festival Alberta came up with an embroidered nude jumpsuit and a lilac playsuit that will do well as summer chic office attire
