Milan Fashion Week wrap-up
Send to a friend:
First things first. We must get into more shows next year. Must.
Onto the wrap-up. It goes without saying that femininity is back big time in the world of fashion. New York’s was frocking good. It was all about skirts that made women beautiful, or it could be the other way around. The disheveled, unkempt look is thankfully gone.
London, according to Taina’s coverage was darker and definitely edgier for the spring.
Milan designers seemed to recognize that real women aren’t the waif thin models parading the runway. They have shape, they have form and they are still beautiful. Just look at the D&G line and you’ll understand what I am talking about.
Prada went the route of romance and could do no wrong. The designer showed aggressive form with the bright pink heels and the bamboo wedges. The clothes maintained the feminine edge so prevalent in Prada designs with a nod to the past.
Armani showed that the hourglass figure trumps the boyish cut every. single. time. The muted pastels, the sarong skirts and the sheer material.
Emilion Pucci Kept the feminine theme going, but Christian Lacroix’s last design for the label brought out the colors that Pucci is famous for. Oceanic blues, slight pinks all done in arcs. Definitely a highlight of the Milan fashion week.
In total, the era of the beautiful, feminine woman is back (as if it ever left) for spring.
