Anthony Vaccarello Spring/Summer 2016 ready-to-wear collection – Paris Fashion Week

Arrivederci Milan Fashion Week,!Bonjour Paris Fashion Week spring/summer 2016. Now that we’ve seen all the wonderful shows and presentations that took place throughout the Italian fashion capital, we’ll listed our favorite fashionable showcases from the Paris catwalks.

For a spring season, there’s been remarkably little heat on the runway. There was one more or less sexless show after another, then along comes Anthony Vaccarello.

Anthony Vaccarello, belgian-Italian designer, who is also the creative director of the Versus Versace, kicked off Paris Fashion Week with a spring-summer 2016 collection that showed plenty of skin without missing the fashion element. To that end, he made a big push into denim, the entry-level price-point item that can really goose a brand’s bottom line. High-waisted styles, one accessorized with a denim belt that grazed the rib cage, will be about as forgiving as his hip-high slits, but there were loose-fitting boyfriend jeans in the mix that will appeal to a broader swath of body types.

Edie Campbell opened Anthony Vaccarello’s spring show in an Army green canvas jacket, its pert collar turned up, and matching wrap miniskirt. Cropped jackets had a vaguely military vibe, and mini kilts, fastened with skinny black-leather straps, deliberately didn’t close all the way, leaving a panel of flesh for all to see. Vaccarello introduced pop art inspired tunics and tanks featuring imagery of Anja Rubik decorated with colorful studs. Asymmetric hems and plunging necklines added even more sex appeal to the spring outing. He made a big push into denim, the entry-level price-point item that can really goose a brand’s bottom line. High-waisted styles, one accessorized with a denim belt that grazed the rib cage, will be about as forgiving as his hip-high slits, but there were loose-fitting boyfriend jeans in the mix that will appeal to a broader swath of body types.

Vaccarello also put his first bags on the runway. The gold detailing on a pair of cross-body styles echoed the hardware that accented this collection’s strong military-influenced tailoring and its drapey jersey numbers.

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

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.

Trussardi 1911 Spring/Summer 2016 ready-to-wear collection -Milan Fashion Week

Trussardi 1911 Spring/Summer 2016 ready-to-wear collection -Milan Fashion Week.

Gaia Trussard was already deep into her research for this collection when she caught a National Geographic documentary about Australian writer Robyn Davidson who during the late ’70s spent nine months traversing Western Australia.This all about of the contact with nature. „How nature can fill you up“ – Gaia Trussardi said

The result was a collection intended to appear sandblasted, wind-whipped, and faded by the sun. Long-skirted jackets and pleated full pants in neutral striped herringbone linen were left unfinished and tattered at the edges. The ribboned bib on a blue shirt was ruffled as if by force. Shirts—more like caftans—were delivered ankle-length, split to the hip, and worn as layers under jackets or as a piece of outerwear. The beaded prints were created from blown-up images of religious tribal masks and the models all wore Virgin Mary necklaces.

The palette swerved from neutral to pastel with debatable success; these rough-hewn, heavy-textured loose pieces rather disagreed with the prissiness of soft pink and apricot. Trussardi has complained that when it comes to using leather in her collections, she is damned if she does and if she doesn’t – than everyone asked -why didn’t she?!. Today she went with wrap split skirts and a fine raspberry duster jacket in double-layered suede and yellow jerkin-like calfskin crop tops, as well as a long gown with a half-moon panel that was cut too narrow to walk easily in. The collection was pretty good, the tailoring fine , and there was plenty to catch the eye of liberal-leaning acai eaters in search of clothes that signal urbane rusticity and luxurious roughness.

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

Massimiliano Giornetti’s latest collection had a buoyant grace. Though it’s not activewear by any stretch of the imagination, a woman could be active in these dresses and look great.

Leather is almost obligatory chez Ferragamo, even for Spring. Giornetti did a fine job of making it suitable for warm weather, cutting it in generous proportions and using bar-tacked seams that quite literally let a paperbag-waist skirt and loose-fitting culottes breathe. But the best pieces here weren’t skins. Rather, they were the midi-length sundresses in lofty cotton: one in black with bows on the shoulder straps; a strapless style with a wrapped waist in sky blue; and another strapless frock that combined tiers or black, dusty pink, and coral. Knit dresses had a springy bounce, too. By comparison, chiffon numbers with feather embellishments looked fussy, and there were a few too many extraneous bows on other pieces. Still, all in all, this was a good-looking outing for Giornetti.
