Milan Women's Fashion Week SS17
From runway to moodboard
September 27th, 2016
71 shows. 98 presentations. One week.
Milan counts its successes, the hundreds of outfits and accessories, the thousands of curious and fashion addicts, the applause and the flops that have coloured the streets and amplified the echo of its fame through designers and models.
Alessandro Michele continues to garner international acclaim, becoming, with his eccentric and weird style, the catalyst of contemporary Italian fashion thanks, this time, to a mix of glam, Elton John, 17th century Venetian courtesans, Nabokov and orientalism.
Bottega Veneta celebrates too, and for the 50th anniversary of the brand presents a collection that perfectly embodies its effortless elegance and an army of models like Gigi Hadid and Adriana Lima, accompanied by an always beautiful Lauren Hutton.
Then there are all the others. Prada with its "Future Forward", Fendi and its interpretation of Jean Antoine Watteau, Jil Sander's sculpture dresses, Versace sexy sportswear or Dolce & Gabbana's "Italian Tropic".
