Prada Fall/Winter 2016-17 .Milan

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.”

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.

 Francesco Scognamiglio unveiled his fall/winter 2016-2017 collection during the first day of milan Fashion Week. Scognamiglio was inspired by Richard Strauss’s „Der Rosenkavalier“, the famous opera composed during the early part of the 20th century .
“I wanted to deconstruct the clothes, almost tearing them apart, trying to find a new perspective,” he said backstage. “I was thinking about the contrasting emptiness and fullness of the space around the body.”
