Fashion Trends Fall/Winter 2016-2017

Prada Fall/Winter 2016-17 .Milan

| Syuzena Pitz
Something about Miuccia Prada’s collections brings out the fashion scholar in all of us. Sphinxlike in her pronouncements, the designer prefers to let the clothes speak for themselves—and what a wealth of material she provided for deconstruction for fall 2016 on her accessory-laden models. Many of them wore loosely laced corsets cinched with looped belts from which hung more small treasures and that recalled antique chatelaines.Prada’s women is a vagabond —a woman who might be out traveling the world  or maybe making a deeper pilgrimage into the labyrinth of womens history. Prada’s fall 2016 collection is as layered as the clothes she showed, in a purpose-built, almost medieval marketplace of a wooden set. In show notes, Prada put : “The nature of women is complex and ineffable . . . Like a Russian doll placed inside one another.”

 

 

 

 

Roberto Cavalli Fall/Winter 2016-2017

Peter Dundas unveiled Roberto Cavalli fall/winter 2016-2017 collection during first day of Milan Fashion Week.Peter Dundas has always been fashion’s most committed translator of the louche world of the early-1970s rock’n-roll chick. And there were many luxuriuos looks on the runway-maxi coats, patchwork fur capes, skimpy lace dresses, platform boots and trailing lurex scarves.This collection is also seems to be the continuation of the look Dundas has carried over from his tenure at Emilio Pucci.Like many others designers this season, Dundas made a play for the long, transparent dress.But in Dundas Roberto Cavalli collection this year are many significant material upgrades such a tiger-stripe velvet, gold tissue lace, caviar beading, intarsia fur, baroque curliqued embroidery and all the shiny textured silks that went into tailoring the high-waisted, skinny, flared pant suits.

London Fashion Week : fashion talents or theatrical drama on the catwalk?

| Syuzena Pitz
The London Fashion Week is finished.  There were  many different collections , many talented designers. It was the Fashion Week between theatrical drama and real world. There were the collections – for example  McQueen by Sarah Burton- which could be better to present on the Haute Couture Week ( it is only my opinion) . The most collections were beautiful, in every collection you can find the pieces which you want to have in your wardrobe. But, when we speak  about London it means we speak about world’s leading incubator of fashion talents that’s  why ,maybe , many of the shows felt like costume plays exercises.

Gareth Pugh Fall/Winter 2016-2017 #London Fashion Week

| Syuzena Pitz
Gareth Pugh unveiled fall/winter 2016-2017 collection during London Fashion Week.
Pugh has an incredible way with fluidity, but he always tends to gravitate towards angles – sharp shoulders, exaggerated triangles. While enveloping, wrap-around jackets made an appearance, alongside sweeping wide-leg trousers, it was the stiffer tailoring that seemed to define the collection. On remembering the power dressing of the eighties and the years where to be taken seriously woman had to dress like a man, I wondered, at first, why Pugh would latch on to such a conservative idea. But then, look closely, and this felt like a parody of that – the models cheeks were hitched up with wire to suggest a fake, cartoon woman. Indeed, this woman wasn’t seeking to blend in the boardroom, but terrify in the boardroom. Those Hannibal Lecter masks certainly suggested she was ready and willing to eat you alive. It seems lazy or cliched to call Pugh’s work futuristic, but he does sometimes seem to cater to some super human creature – one unruffled by real life.
