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.

Gucci Catwalk Fashion Show Milan FW2018

If we’d have to judge upon the Gucci-updates on our Instagram feed the last few days a baby dragon is bound to be the coolest accessory for next year. Alessandro Michele sure knows how to pull everyone’s focus into his new collection story. Named ‘Cyborg’ this fall 2018 story was about a post human era in which we as people will be able to reproduce ourselves. And so there were models carrying their own hats and a girl with a third eye on her forehead. “We are the Dr. Frankenstein of our lives,” Michele told Vogue.com. “There’s a clinical clarity about what I am doing. I was thinking of a space that represents the creative act. I wanted to represent the lab I have in my head. It’s physical work, like a surgeon’s.”
Fashion wise the show spoke of a good game of dressing up and the cross cultural styles we’ve seen at Gucci the last few seasons. Fringed tweed jackets, shiny twenties disco dresses, folklore overcoats and luxurious red velvet dresses. Styled off with Russian babushka headscarves, lace face masks, XL earrings and nerdy glasses. And of course it wouldn’t be a Gucci show without the abundance of Gucci logo’s (mixed with some NY Yankees and LA references). A collection that was already a hype before it hit the runway. Insta girls, be ready!

Milan Menswear Fashion Week: The 5 biggest Trends FW2018

From Diesel Black Gold’s native American inspired story to Dolce & Gabbana’s millennial filled show entitled King’s Angels.

Milan Fashion Week SS2018 RECAP

While Milano is recovering from another fashion week whirlwind, let’s look at some of the greatest moments the Italian fashion capital offered us. Just as was the case in NYC gender mixed shows filled up the Milano show schedule. Etro, Missoni, Bottega Veneta and Gucci all presented their womenswear next to their SS2018 menswear looks, which lead to a rich(er) feel and deeper understanding of their new collections. In terms of highlights there, of course, was the nineties supermodel pack at Versace, that is still popping up on our Instagram so many days later. Angela Missoni celebrated her 20 years as a designer. And naturally there were quite a few memorable cocktail parties (hello Vogue Italia). In terms of next year’s trend we’ve selected a few of the most remarkable ones. Lots of denim, lots of greens, ladylike pencil skirts and the following four summer trends:

Logomania continues, branding is everything

Soft sequins and bedroom ensembles

Marni Catwalk Fashion Show Womenswear SS2018 Milan

On Sunday Francesco Riso delivered his second collection at Marni. A collection inspired by Tim Burton’s take on Through the Looking-Glass (a.k.a. Alice in Wonderland – fortuitously on the same day Dolce & Gabbana presented their Queen of Hearts collection) that felt like a mash-up of styles and clothes. The silhouette was rather oversized, although the many tops did follow the female curves. Checks and floral prints met with sporty stripes. Shiny satin worked with details of fur on some of Riso’s robe inspired numbers.

Especially some highly embroidered pieces at the beginning of the show really transmitted the (de)construction message of the show and almost gave you the notion the models had been sewing them together themselves. The palette was Wonderland-y, make-up was bright, accessories were eye-catching (though probably less ‘chunky’ then Marni fans would like them to be).

Perhaps these were not the most desirable, musthave, ‘it’-designs, yet it was a clear statement from Riso’s part and a fresh take on ‘the Marni look’ we’ve been used to.

Dolce & Gabbana Catwalk Fashion Show Womenswear SS2018 Milan

Domenico and Stefano are quite busy this week. Last night the designer duo organized a (not so) secret show featuring all their favorite millennials (absent today and replaced again by ‘real’ models). Today the fashion crowd gathered around to view their SS2018 collection named “Queen of Hearts”. A show with no less than 104 looks (Gucci’s “never ending” show included just 4 more). Let’s say Dolce & Gabbana had quite some love to give.
Their queen of hearts made sure not to forget any of our favorite Dolce show ingredients. Classic black lace dresses, embellished corsets, airy, floral printed maxi dresses, striped suits and checked tea dresses in the mix. As well as some surprise items like a couple of bodysuits, a few rainbow dresses and some sequined disco numbers. Prints were mostly food related. We spotted baby chicks and gold fish (hopefully not necessarily intended as food related) cookies as well as carrots, cabbage, beans and lemons for al vegans in the venue. Headpieces, sunglasses, XL earrings and handbags didn’t fail to deliver and made up for yet another extravagantly styled runway show. Wow.
