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.

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.

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.

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

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

Marni wasshown today ,September 27,2015 ,the spring/summer 2016 collection. Marni woman will have a choice, are you a Marni woman? I’m sure that the answer is yes because every women will have Marni in the wardrobe. The new collections is very Special but same time it is Marni signature. A few words about the Show:

It was a game of dress up with long sleeves splaying out over fingers, sequins jangling beneath asymmetric hems and leaf prints that danced on shoulders in yet more sequins before making a bold impact as print in yellow and green across a mid-length dress. Sculpted graphics did the same and echoed the installation surrounds of the catwalk. That favourite T-shirt-beneath-dress combination factored in a lot here – but upgraded by Marni’s signature complication.

But it’s never just the clothes to contemplate with Marni – you’re looking at those accessories just as much, because they are key in defining and describing the Marni woman. They are so often the dot on the „i“ and the cross on the „t“, as it were. Those same leaves hung from lobes in gold, wrists were weighted down by angular bangles and bags were long, width-wise, in metallic and scrunched like a sandwich bag or came as luxe shoppers. It is elegant, comfortable and same time very chic!
