Philipp Plein offers „Alice in Ghettoland“ for Spring/Summer 2017

| Syuzena Pitz
Plein’s set was a pastiche: of Lewis Carroll magic mushrooms, of a giant garden troll with “pimp” spelled out across his shirt and Plein’s double-P logo on his hat, of ice cream trucks, of a bare-chested landscaper, and of sudsed-up shirtless car wash men. A quartet of young kids scampered around eating candy and knocking over a lamppost, oblivious to the NC-17 lyrics on the sound system. The handymen who fixed that lamppost wore shirts. Giant carnival swings towered over it all. Every Plein’s show is an event, He had a roller coaster on his Fall 2015 runway. A year before that he hired Rita Ora to emerge from a smoking car and sing “Facemelt.” This time it was Fergie and friends who kicked things off, propped up on the back of a low-rider convertible.

Mary Katrantzou Spring/Summer 2017 collection or returning to her design roots.

| Syuzena Pitz
Katrantzou’s earliest collections, rich with dazzling trompe l’oeil, created one of the most distinctive design signatures of the past decade, so distinctive, in fact, that her efforts to move on have been dogged by that early success. With her spring/summer 2017 collection, Mary Katrantzou  snapped back to own who she is: a great print designer, and a Greek one.“It’s funny, I never wanted to use classical Greek art, because being from there, it seemed too obvious,” she said with a shrug after her show. “But this time, I thought, ‘Why not?’She looked back to her childhood visit to the ancient palace of Knossos, on Crete, the center of the Minoan civilization. Mary Katrantzou transposed the profiles of Minoan  goddesses   onto the bodices of dresses  and  printed them onto shimmery chain-mail tunics.

London Fashion Week :Gareth Pugh Spring/Summer 2017

| Syuzena Pitz
The night before this show, the opera Eliogabalo opened saison at the Palais Garnier, in Paris, with 60 costumes designed by Gareth Pugh. Seems that the Pugh’s work for the opera wound up informing his new collection. Anyway, there is  no beating a Gareth Pugh show for sheer showmanship -this season, he accelerated hard into that impulse, sending out numerous looks in bullion-like gold  These heavily decorated ensembles gave way to a collection notable for its atypical earthiness. There were the striped and sunburst-patterned looks which gives the Pugh aesthetic something new. The broad sundresses, caftans, and obi-belted looks struck an entirely original tone.
