Bottega Veneta Spring/Summer 2016 ready-to-wear collection was shown today, September 26,2015 in Milan Fashion Week.

Bottega Veneta is a Symbol of traditional elegance. And spring/summer collection is about ease and elegance ,the Bottega way after all, throughout: comfortable colours such as biscuit beige, baby pink and blue, oatmeal. Nothing was obviously a performance here despite the obvious origins of the collection’s inception.

Tomas Maier , when he’s not busy making collections for the house of Bottega Veneta or for his eponymous label, likes to be outside – it’s his „number one thing“. So he blended his personal life with his professional life today for a spring/summer 2016 collection that catered for a working woman – those easy shift shapes and parachute dresses looped with rope at the waist – but took into account her wilder, eclectic side too. For there was a decided edge to his usual polished breed of woman – and whatever holidays and jaunts she was going on, we’d like in on it.

„There is a romance to the trip, to travel, to the trek in the open air,“ explained Maier. There came leopard prints and knitted stripes, rivets and serious stitching, spiderweb crochet splaying out over those aforementioned dresses – it was all about that texture play he does so well, this time taking hiking, sailing and nature as his informative reference points. The outcome of which lead to military notes as we saw at Versace last night, strong suiting in all-over print and clock those brilliantly mad leopard print clogs. And then try walking in them.

„It’s all about the materials and what you can do with them. This is for the individual, the eccentric, the exceptional,“ he continued.

An accessories brand at heart, aside from those clomping clogs, there were bags that took their effect from Italian woodwork and those that boasted skin rope trim – again picking up on his great outdoors theme, one which in his hands will no doubt win a few more fans over.

Versace Spring/Summer 2016 ready-to-wear collection – Milan Fashion Week

Donatella Versace was shown her Versace Spring/Summer 2016 ready-to-wear collection in Milan Fashion Week, at 25 September 2015. Donatella Versace celebrates the women and she described The Versace Woman before the Show:

“She’s a very real woman,” said Donatella , “She works, travels around, she has to be perfect all the time… she’s not a young girl. But she has to take on an attitude of strength.”

If you don’t see the live stream i’ll tell you about the show and i refer you the soundtrack: It was not just an added-on musical theme, but the massively inclusive, confidence-generating “Transition” by Violet .You’ll have to listen to it, it’s a call to all women to stop listening to our inner demons and outer detractors, and just get rid of everything which stops us from doing what we really want. Donatella Versace did it, she addressed all that by showing a collection which never ditched the beloved character of her family’s house, but concentrated mostly on varying shades of daywear, shown on an inclusive cast of characters.

Utility jackets in khaki and desert sand that made for little belted dresses, serious stealth legs on display with even more stealth and serious sandals – platforms with rubberised soles, safety buckles and a steep, steep heel – beneath; little chiffon torn dresses of camouflage combinations in neon orange, jungle green, purple and black; glossy backpacks; tie-handle scrunched bags; trailing cuffs on sheer chiffon gowns; tough jackets patched with animal print; The Versace House print gone wild in punchy green camouflage tailored suits with slouchy boy-cut pants, collaged into knits and sweatshirts .
Waist definition via a neon belt was key, as was the Versace military jacket – be it a bomber, be it a blazer, a blouson, cropped or not. It was sharp, it was bright, it was slits to the thigh on slinky little evening dresses.

It would not be Versace without an injection of sexiness—a quality which has been so out of fashion recently that many designers appear terrified of it. This time, Donatella Versace did show some of the requisite chiffon, fluttery, spilt-to-the-thigh gowns.. Whatever forces Donatella Versace was fighting to reach this new point of clarity, she won.

Versace Spring/Summer 2016 ready-to-wear collection will be a Happening, it was a Happening from the first moments of the Show!

Today Armani makes a lot of womens happy, the new-renew tailored trousers , the short shorts and Shorts tailored in bermuda styles , it will be the Must Have of summer season but not only about the trousers and short, the colours were pretty summer from pastel pink, coral and tangerine, blue -steel blue. There were also some black and floral printed pieces.

The show notes opened with a poetic ode to the ease of tying a neck scarf and the styling trick itself translated into the collection as open necklines, a corsage or scarf tied just so, or you could spy wrists wrapped up in them later.

A series of wafting, light dresses at the end would look most at home wandering along a beach, that said gentle breeze described again in the show notes, the ideal accompaniment. That is what we call Made in Italy , that is the collection which a lot of womans want and will wear next summer.

Grazie , Signore Armani!

Prada Spring/Summer 2016 ready-to-wear collection designed by Fabio Zambernardi – Milan Fashion Week

Prada Spring/Summer 2016 ready-to-wear collection designed by Fabio Zambernardi was shown tonight, September 24,2015 ,in Milan Fashion Week.

Subverting traditional classics: That was the line transmitted about the Prada collection by design directorFabio Zambernardi backstage in the absence Miuccia Prada was unable to be at Milan Fashion Week this season due to the passing of her aunt.

Anyway Prada knows how to divert us. She is playing with us again. The non-pointedness to so much of this collection, with its crushed and recrushing of so many references, was the point. Her work is so much more than fashion – yet Prada appears to be purposely sabotaging her own medium, time and time again. She wants us to know this is a dream not worth having, yet she makes us want to buy that dream back from her. Dowdy fifties housewives, complete with sheer duster coats, were covered to the neck in macramé ponchos. They had a veneer Victorian melancholy, when regarded upwards from the neck. Vinyl Formica stripes and cork relief prints placed our housewives within the setting of a mid twentieth century suburban nightmare. But exactly all this made the collection so interesting!

Agree,it is not exactly summer wearable but Miuccia Prada pays no heed to weather-appropriateness. In her global view there is as much need for pieced fur coats in summer as there is for skimpy silk slip dresses, which she optionally layers over chunky knits.

At the final part of thee Show we could see coats in metallic snakeskin and suede stripes, and beautifully desirable organza suits and coats decorated with outsize transparent pailletted flowers. And those Looks we will see all around the world, maybe in young Hollywood, during the weedings or parties.

Emilio Pucci Spring/Summer 2016 ready-to-wear collection designed by Massimo Giorgetti- Milan Fashion Week

Emilio Pucci Spring/Summer 2016 ready-to-wear collection designed by Massimo Giorgetti- Milan Fashion Week.

It is a first ready-to-wear collection designed by Massimo Giorgetti for Maison Emilio Pucci.

Massimo Giorgetti is young italian designer, founder of the a MSGM Brand. Giorgetti had shown us today his first collection he brought a fresh spirit to the Brand.

Marchese Emilio Pucci opened his first store in Capri, in 1949, serving up kaleidoscopic printed dresses that by the ’60s had become signifiers of a jet-set which were abituated to spend the vacations on Capri.

And for his debut Giorgetti started at the seaside, which was the right instinct: as the birthplace of Pucci, it was a natural place for a new beginning. Giorgetti trawled the seas to bring us pieces inspired by the big blue. Mesh griddled trousers like nets had appliqué embroidered starfish, crabs and turtles caught upon them.,it looks very playful. The glamour that ruled under Dundas’s tenure was replaced by Giorgetti’s desire for cool and trendy. The combination of some great marabou feather flat sandals, placed with a sporty black and white op art dress showed promise These Looks are encouraging . Breaking the formulaic approach to this print based house, with its roots in the glamourous scene of seventies Capri, will be challenging. But Giorgetti made the wise move to translate the house’s prints via embroidery and structure. It is a good start!

Rember that the character of Milan is shifting. It is no longer Prada and Marni that stand for intellectual eclecticism. Gucci now also wants to be part of that subversive bookish gang and Pucci is perfectly placed to join the new vanguard. Giorgetti has not earned membership yet, but for sure he does.
