Milan fashion week has started and here we have Fendi. Kim Jones referenced the 1999 Lagerfeld show and the Roman woman. Simple is the best way I could describe it because it was just that. I enjoyed the use of color blocking in some garments but in others it was not that good. I’m not a fan of pastel colors mixed in with neon ones. We saw various bags not just on the runway but in statues to decorate the venue. But other than that it was just good.
Robert Cavalli fueled my obsession for Cher.
(Yes I love that woman, right down to the point that I named my car after her). The house having 70s staples it was easy to note certain trends seen on the singer. Although look 54 was very much reminiscent of a Bob Mackie look the singer once wore but done in black. Here Puglisi does state that he referenced Cher, Bianca Jagger, etc. Feathers has been having a moment this fashion month and here we see them done in a tropical almost flamingo way as the first pieces that open the collection were mostly in pink. But the feathers didn’t stop there, they were also printed on dresses. The finale look was by far my favorite and fit the Cavalli staples but was also quite modern.
Diesel decided to show their collection at a live rave with 7,000 people in attendance. Showing outside, the rain did poured in but that did not stop the runway from continuing. Here we see Diesel staples like the denim and the shredded pieces we saw in last season but other items were introduced like lurex pieces. I loved that the invitation was a disposable camera which I hoped people used. We see a change to the infamous Diesel belt skirt but here it looks way more fitted for a belt than skirt. Also I want to point out, the Spice Girl tee, love that.
