Milan Fashion Week delivered unforgettable moments, such as the presentation of Alessandro Michele's new collection for Gucci , a show that brought together VIP guests like Charlotte Casiraghi, Dakota Johnson, and Alexa Chung. An exceptional front row to applaud the evolution of the Italian fashion house's new creative director.
Gucci's Spring/Summer 2016 collection revives the style of the seventies and reinterprets it by fusing it with the boho look. Michele, who replaced Frida Giannini at the beginning of this year, continues to favor tie-front shirts, rich prints, midi lengths , and menswear-inspired pieces. Green, silk ribbons, flowing dresses, floral motifs, and a mix of colors abound in a collection that features oversized glasses, loafers, and berets as key accessories.
Fendi, spring-summer 2016
The 'cut out' style is the main bet of the Fendi house in its new spring-summer 2016 collection. Cuts that reveal the waist, strapless necklines, long flowing dresses with transparencies, baggy style pants, bolero jackets , three-quarter sleeve blouses and a color palette dominated by red, black and blue.
Roberto Cavalli, spring-summer 2016
One of the most anticipated moments of this Milan Fashion Week was the unveiling of Peter Dundas's first collection for Roberto Cavalli. The Norwegian designer debuted as creative director of the brand at this edition of the Milanese catwalk with a collection featuring animal print and bold color combinations.
Emilio Pucci, spring-summer 2016
The Pucci firm has opted in its new collection for one of the most repeated trends at this Milan Fashion Week: retro-inspired prints. Horizontal and vertical stripes, geometric motifs, animal drawings and prints of marine motifs such as fish, corals and shells are the protagonists of Pucci's proposal for next spring-summer.
Max Mara, spring-summer 2016
Another brand that has embraced prints is Max Mara. In this case, the Italian fashion house is betting on star motifs, the leitmotif of a collection in which garments such as sweaters, jackets, coats, dresses, and trousers are presented with prints. In addition to the ubiquitous stars, striped prints, both vertical and horizontal, also feature prominently.
Giorgio Armani, spring-summer 2016
The Giorgio Armani show is always one of the highlights of Milan Fashion Week. The designer is one of the greats of Italian fashion, a veteran with convening power who stands out for being true to his style and not disappointing his followers. On this occasion, the jacket suit stands out as the main protagonist of the spring-summer 2016 collection, a proposal in which we have also seen volume miniskirts and a selection of house brand party dresses.
Versace, spring-summer 2016
Another of the star shows on the Milanese catwalk was that of Versace and its sensual style. Designer Donatella Versace presented a collection in which miniskirts, flowing dresses, sheer fabrics, plunging necklines, and sky-high heels were combined on the runway with more elegant, red-carpet-worthy gowns. Camouflage prints, shimmer, and animal print are the trends the Medusa-branded label is betting on for next spring/summer.
Dolce & Gabbana, spring-summer 2016
Once again, Dolce & Gabbana paid homage to Italian culture in their Spring/Summer 2016 collection. Italian icons, cultural clichés, tourist postcards—nothing groundbreaking in terms of design, but a spectacle capable of holding the audience's attention. On the runway, models took selfies, and there were headdresses adorned with fruit, lace, embroidery, corsets, and lingerie-inspired details. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana once again demonstrated their love for Italy and for prints.
Prada, spring-summer 2016
The designer Miucca Prada has presented on the Milanese catwalk her new proposal for the spring-summer 2016 season, a continuous collection in which prints and transparencies are the protagonists. Suits for jackets, shirts with embroidery, sequins, transparencies pushed to the limit and a very varied color palette in which raw tones are punctuated by intense greens, oranges or yellows.
Moschino, spring-summer 2016
Always imaginative and fun, Jeremy Scott is doing his thing again in the spring-summer 2016 collection, inspired by car washes. The designer did not disappoint anyone with his proposal for Moschino, one of the great attractions of this Milan Fashion Week. Traffic signs, motifs related to the automotive world and specifically, with the 'car wash', with models dressed with brushes and rotating rollers. A lot of color and a spectacular staging make Moschino a benchmark on the Italian catwalk season after season.
Missoni, spring-summer 2016
The striped print has been one of the most repeated trends of this edition of Milan Fashion Week. It has also been the protagonist of the Missoni fashion show, which has chosen this motif as the common thread of its spring-summer collection, a proposal in which we also saw checkered prints and geometric motifs. The chosen colors are white, black, yellow, blue, green, red and orange. As star garments, the skirt, the blouse and the flowing dresses. And as the collection's fetish accessories, the silk scarves tied around the neck, the maxi-size earrings and the golden details stand out.
