The best 5 things about Milan Fashion Week
Give Me Five
January 15th, 2014
The sun has just gone down behind the duomo - to embrace, warm and animate the Ville Lumière - and while Milan is breathing a sigh after the delirious week just ended, we talk about the most succulent moments about it.
"We give you 5 and in the meantime give us the 5".
-The crowns of Dolce&Gabbana
The new collection of Dolce & Gabbana is inspired by the Norman kings who arrived in Sicily around the year 1000, affecting a lot the costumes and architecture of the island. What particular could better stand out on the catwalk to emphasize the strength and power of man envisioned by Domenico and Stefano as best as real crowns?
-The polka dot pattern of Andrea Pompilio
Andrea Pompilio has distinguished himself once again creating a funny and classic style at the same time. Spotlight on the polka dot pattern that appears on blazers, bomber jackets, trench coats and trousers which confirms the young designer as one of the most promising in Italy.
-The deep purple of Jil Sander
Despite the departure of Heidemarie Jiline Sander, the brand returns to dazzle on the catwalk presenting a man surrounded by a geometric rigor. Clean cuts and minimalist style. Essential it's also the color palette, in which, first of all, catches the eye a perfect deep purple that - needless to say - we love.
-The leather laces of Z Zegna
Paul Surridge, the creative director of the young line of Ermenegildo Zegna, brings on the catwalk a collection inspired by the 60s and the mod subculture. The scene is dominated by clothes with slim fits, coats and parkas on which appear colored leather laces that revisits in a modern key the vintage line.
-The tie-scarf of Prada
More than just a fashion show, Prada's one was a real theater pièce which has seen like a protagonist a collection- mixed men and women - characterized by individuality, loneliness and introversion. The period of glorification of pop culture seem to be getting farther and the words of the same Miuccia confirms that, "the truth is that the logic of fashion, in my opinion, pushes you to change". Interesting and unexpected leitmotiv: all models wear a tie like it was a scarf.
