Mary Katrantzou Spring/Summer 2017 collection or returning to her design roots.

| Syuzena Pitz
Katrantzou’s earliest collections, rich with dazzling trompe l’oeil, created one of the most distinctive design signatures of the past decade, so distinctive, in fact, that her efforts to move on have been dogged by that early success. With her spring/summer 2017 collection, Mary Katrantzou  snapped back to own who she is: a great print designer, and a Greek one.“It’s funny, I never wanted to use classical Greek art, because being from there, it seemed too obvious,” she said with a shrug after her show. “But this time, I thought, ‘Why not?’She looked back to her childhood visit to the ancient palace of Knossos, on Crete, the center of the Minoan civilization. Mary Katrantzou transposed the profiles of Minoan  goddesses   onto the bodices of dresses  and  printed them onto shimmery chain-mail tunics.

London Fashion Week :Gareth Pugh Spring/Summer 2017

| Syuzena Pitz
The night before this show, the opera Eliogabalo opened saison at the Palais Garnier, in Paris, with 60 costumes designed by Gareth Pugh. Seems that the Pugh’s work for the opera wound up informing his new collection. Anyway, there is  no beating a Gareth Pugh show for sheer showmanship -this season, he accelerated hard into that impulse, sending out numerous looks in bullion-like gold  These heavily decorated ensembles gave way to a collection notable for its atypical earthiness. There were the striped and sunburst-patterned looks which gives the Pugh aesthetic something new. The broad sundresses, caftans, and obi-belted looks struck an entirely original tone.

| Syuzena Pitz
This summer Dolce & Gabbana celebrated Sophia Loren and Naples with a their Alta Moda fall/winter 2016  show on Sautrday,a Naples. “This is my place, my land. Sometimes, it is not just about the clothes,” declared Domenico Dolce, backstage.“It is inspired by Sophia, by Naples, and tradition.“   Miss Loren made her way to be seated on a gilded velvet throne on a grandstand built on one of Naples’s oldest thoroughfares.The show  began: a corseted swimsuit with a white satin sash, the words Miss Eleganza sewn in gold beads. It was a reminder that Sophia Loren’s first step to fame.Each look was garlanded with collaged headresses. There were balconette necklines and curvy pencil skirts,sexy dresses with swishing hems reminiscent of Loren’s “poor-girl” ’40s roles; and incredibly fitted black suits and coats made for going to mass, but worn over sensual satin slips. The show and an awesome evening ended with final firework.

Fendi Haute Fourrure Fall/Winter 2016 : Legends and Fairy Tales show

| Syuzena Pitz
 After Couture shows in Paris, Fendi shuttled guests by plane to Rome for their Haute Fourrure fall/winter 2016 show . Fendi secured the Trevi Fountain of La Dolce Vita fame for the Event. The fountains turned on, and the models started their march over a see-through runway built on top of its pools.Surely it will go down as one of the most majestic show venues ever.There were  46 looks.The 5,000 hand-cut holes that turned the rose-color persian lamb of a long dress into lace. The lynx jacket in  delicate shadows of  pink, the absolutely miniscule squares of mink that took 1,200 work hours to stitch together mosaic-style into a magical forest scene,crocheted dresses on a base of tulle were embroidered with swatches of mink and fringed leather.Lagerfeld found his starting point in a 1914 book of fairy tales illustrated by the Danish artist Kay Nielsen.“I called the show Legends and Fairy Tales,because it’s a collection that doesn’t relate to everybody like ready-to-wear, this is very special for people who have a special kind of life.”
