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

28/09/201529/09/2015 | Syuzena Pitz

Il Re, Mr. Giorgio Armani, did it again! His Show, his collection was the best what we saw on the Milan’s catwalks during Milan Fashion Week. It is a Happening!

Giorgio Armani continued his 40th-anniversary festivities yesterday afternoon ( 28.09.2015) with a press conference and lunch in honor of his new self-titled book of family photographs and personal remembrances. The book he said, answering questions from a large audience, gathered after his catwalk Spring Summer 16 show, inside the slick concrete lined Armani headquarters in Milan (to this day he proudly prefers to converse in his mother tongue, despite a global empire worth £5 billion), were “the pulses, the remembrances of my past,“ the designer elucidated. For those born in the 90ies, it is hard to comprehend what Armani brought to fashion 40 years ago. „I started my own revolution,“ he said. „A subtle one but also very strong. I changed the rules of fashion from the previous 20, 30 years,“ he continued. „I showed that you could wear a flat shoe with evening wear; I added softness to men’s clothes. And I envisaged that women could dress like men but with great femininity.“

And we saw this yesterday, during the Show.Elegant, chic daywear and evening dresses, . that was the Giorgio Armani spring/summer 2016 is about. That’s why Armani is still the best,that’s why we love him and his design.

All the elements that have made his name synonymous with discrete elegance were there in his show yesterday ( if you didn’t see the live Streaming, i advice to find the full Show on youtube). There was a play on silhouette, the body softened, disguised and also revealed by cleverly juxtaposed fabrics, layered one over the other. Such as ribbed organza trousers worn under suit jackets or silk dresses; a classic white work shirt was re-invented as a loose silk shirt dress, with billowing pockets worn over a sheer black silk slip. There was also a playful floral jumpsuit in bright vermillion, while crisp shorts or capacious trousers were matched with bolero jackets.

Gems cascaded down pretty party dresses, danced across bodices in red, pink, emerald and white crystal or were bunched together in sparkling orbs. Skirts were voluminous, and above the knee, in midnight blue organza, gathered and ruched at the waist. The customers will again invest in his tailoring next summer. There was something for every women! Wear Armani , that what every woman are dreaming for.

The message was simple : Missoni want to make everyone feel welcome in their bright and colorful zigzag world. For Spring 2016,Angela Missoni took her brand back to its roots. The offering was speedy, sporty and simple in attitude with nearly the entire lineup comprised of knitwear Standards. But not only this because Angela Missoni’s boards were full of photographs of Maasai tribe and the graphic, street-centric work of the Venezuelan artist Carlos Cruz-Diez were the inspiration for the collection . The show was full of the bright, breezy, vibrant type of jet set–ready attire that has made the house iconic for decades.The silhouette was long and lean, with narrow, sweeping cardigans paired with hot pants, fete-ready halter-neck dresses in vibrant metallic pleats, and open-collared tunics paired with flowing trousers. Swimwear boasted generous looping ties or thick, layered Maasai-inspired collars.

Dolce&Gabbana Spring/Summer 2016 – Italia is love – collection in Milan Fashion Week

27/09/201528/09/2015 | Syuzena Pitz

Dolce&Gabbana show, the most attended on SundayI It was an ode for Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana motherland , for Italy, it was in Dolce &Gabbana style. „Italia is Love“- Ciao Italia!

In what turned out to be quite the meta Dolce&Gabbana show this afternoon, the selfie and the rise of social media reigned supreme.Guests entered the brand’s in-house show space Sunday afternoon to find an Instagram-bait set with featuring a traditional Italian restaurant, flanked by stands for fruit and souvenirs. Four large screens hung above the audience displaying one word: „Selfie.“ Just as the show began, the brand used them to give guests very little notice of what was about to take place. The screens read, „The models walking the fashion show will be taking selfies with you which will be published online. Be part of this unique fashion moment!“ I’m sure a lot of us would like to be there today afternoon,thanks socialnetworks and Fashion sites we all were the part of this Show, watching live stream! Sure you saw, several of the models walked with phones in their hands and would occasionally stop mid-walk to take a selfie, which would almost immediately be displayed on the aforementioned screens. Backstage selfies were shown as well, and the brand also shared many of them on social media. Of course, this wasn’t a new concept for the brand that featured models talking seflies on catwalk.Not only did the stunt provide content for Dolce & Gabbana’s own channels, but everyone in the audience wanted to document it as well, leading many editors to break any one-Instagram-per-show rules they may have established pre-fashion month.

All of which could mean that amongst all the fumbling fingers for the fastest and best photos the clothes got lost. But in all their colourful and elaborately embroidered glory, they really couldn’t.

„Italia is Love“, the show was called – and it was a world tour of references: Peruvian pom-poms, chinoiserie dresses, riviera style, Italian tradition – all transposed the Dolce & Gabbana way. So color, embellishment, print, and texture were not in short supply. Many pieces featured pictures of Italian landmarks and phrases like „Italia Forever“ and „Italia is love,“ which was also seen on the invitations and on a sign at the top of the runway set. Floral prints, embroidery and appliqués were used heavily; there were also lots of landscape prints and what looked like painted-on brush strokes. Dresses and skirts made up the majority of the collection, but there were also several fun suits and a couple of pajama-inspired looks. Statement accessories — from gigantic bejeweled sunglasses to headpieces covered in fruit to embellished, on-theme handbags — abounded as usual.. For the finale, models changed into matching dresses that mimicked postcards from various Italian cities and charged the runway en masse, snapping more selfies along the way. All the Dolce & Gabbana DNA was there as it always is – it was just about another way in showing it off: the social network.

A few words about Prada Spring/Summer 2016 collection – Runway Looks or pieces to be combined with

27/09/201527/09/2015 | Syuzena Pitz

I write this content because of my blog, because of one conversation.

Miuccia Prada presented us very interesting collection, i wrote yet about it.This collection more i see more i start like some pieces, more ideas i have.

In this collection is very diffiuclt ot choose the pieces but is it really? A lot of runway Looks give us any choice,i mean or you wear the complet Look,i mean suit-maybe also with Sweater- or you leave it at all.

Miuccia does all this collections , every season absolutely new style, from „chic“ 70 ies to houswives of 50-60ies inkl.macrame mini poncos, maybe to see that the customers are coming always back and buy all this because of Prada -PRADA-,the best publicity was the film „Devil wears Prada“ , it seems to be very old film but it is not, it is 2006. So the girls who had been watching this film in 2006-2008 were maybe 16 years old, today they are 24-26 years old and a lot of them wants to wear Prada. So Miuccia present collections for Young generation,for example fall 2015 is glamour and chic, spring-summer 2016 (which is not really very summer at all) is more avant guarde. Vynil, transparenst suits ect.

Back to complet Look, here i choosed one example, it is impossible to wear only skirt or jacket from this suit because of tailoring. I can imagine maybe the jacket with black trousers. Can imagine with black Chiffon blouse and black trousers. It is only example how this jacket to combined with another pieces…. it’s a pitty i haven’t any photo only of thic jacket as example.

Second one example, spontaneous, if you wear this blue transparent suit, if you will wear it at all, than you better wear it as complete Look , with Sweater, because of colours contrast. The colours of Sweater making this suit interesting, it makes all Look a one big statment. Two similar runway Looks from same collection but one can be easy combined with and second is absolutely complete because it Looks as one Piece, i mean it seems to be a one Piece and not a jeacket, skirt, Shirt and Sweater. But it is only my meaning and also only about this two Runway Looks from last, Spring 2016 collection of Prada.

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

26/09/201526/09/2015 | Syuzena Pitz

Jil Sander Spring/Summer 2016 ready-to-wear collection was shown in Milan Fashion Week.

Rodolfo Paglialunga, who we know from his time as creativ director of Vionnet has now been three seasons at Jil Sander, stepping in to fill the shoes of the eponymous designer herself when she left the brand for the third time.Spring-summer collection began and ended with soft, white silks, blouses with slashed sleeves and skirts tied off in a knot to start, plus a neatly cut natural-toned ,very graceful gardener with little slits at the shoulders, and a loose, long-sleeved tunic dress with utility strap details at the chest and hem. In between came riffs on shirting such as a periwinkle shirtdress twisted at the midriff with a cutout along the waist.

Silhouettes are soft and fluid, satins slinky and in China blue, gentle draping an obvious follow-on from his Vionnet days. It is a elegance, Rodolfo Paglialunga has done an adequate job adhering to the house’s minimalist credo, designing nice, chicly practical clothes which every women must have in her wardrobe.
