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.

“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.”

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

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.

Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 2016-17 by Sarah Burton

Sarah Burton has shown the most beautiful, sensitive, and breathtaking crafted Alexander McQueen  collection in London. What she started in the pre-fall 2016 collection, is reappeared in fall 2016 collection, along with owls, swans, moons and stars, drifting on embroidered sophisticated textiles as tulle and organza. Anyway, this collection is on the level of haute couture. She described her woman as: “Almost sleepwalking, in a state where reality and dreams become blurred.” About the collection : It started with black coats, variously jacquarded with pocket watches, eyes, and butterflies, or sculpted from fine leather and then hand-painted with flowers by a specialist floral artist. Tailoring was always one of McQueen’s power bases, and the mannish  exactitude of the double-lapel suits honored that  in a modern, feminine way.There were lacy bras and sleeves cut to fall off shoulders. Then came the knit dresses, which cascaded in gossamer layers as delicate as lace. And finally, we were in the place of dreams. The bodices of black tulle dresses were set with jeweled stars, each one a masterpiece. Satin duvet jackets, and a final superb shell-pink eiderdown coat, lined with marabou- it was a triumph! The tenderness and the technical expertise she mustered for this collection was brilliant.Burton’s own vision for McQueen is fully realized and applauded to the skies. The more she has relaxed into the confidence of her feminine instincts, the better she’s become. It was fitting that the venue she chose was the same one in which she assisted Lee McQueen at a show 20 years ago.
