Plus, more of the hottest looks from Milan Fashion Week.
Milan Fashion Week has finally come to a close—and it pulled out all the stops. This fall/winter season, we saw Blumarine’s surprise rendition of Y2k-gone-emo, Gucci collaborate with Adidas, and Versace reimagine its signature house codes. Meanwhile, Prada delivered on all fronts, from style to talent. Hunter Schafer, Kaia Gerber, and a newly redheaded Kendall Jenner shared a runway that is somehow convincing us that the simple ribbed tank top will be it next season.
And then there’s Moschino, which time and time again, reminds us that camp is not just an exhibit theme, it’s a lifestyle. This season, its collection is complete with gowns featuring built-in harps and dresses that remind us of both Lumière and Cogsworth from Beauty and the Beast. But on a heavier note, we are reminded that fashion does not exist within a vacuum. As protestors converge outside runway collections, Giorgio Armani opted to use his runway to quietly address the dire situation.
See everything that happened during MFW below.
As protestors rally outside Milan Fashion Week shows in the hopes of redirecting attention toward the Ukrainian conflict, Giorgio Armani became the first designer to address the issue with a silent runway. He stated on Instagram: “My decision to not play music in the show was made as a sign of respect towards the people involved in the unfolding tragedy in Ukraine.” The designer’s sensitivity with his presentation was duly noted, and what followed was a collection highlighting what will always be his legacy: a quiet strength.
Since Daniel Lee’s exit from Bottega Veneta earlier this year—and his creation of #NewBottega as we see the brand today—the newly named creative director Matthieu Blazy had big, big shoes to fill. Read our full review on his debut collection here.
Versace is sticking to its house codes this season, doing what it does best, and what its audience devours. Think: black tailored suiting, pops of fluorescent satin, chainmail, and bustiers in every iteration. Folding into these signature notes are houndstooth prints we suspect will reign next fall, along with a sleek reimagining of the puffer jacket.
Jeremy Scott’s Moschino clearly made him the king of camp. Whether it’s creating Katy Perry’s chandelier moment at the Met Gala in 2019 or delivering some of the most entertaining runways to date, his consistency is everything. This fall runway collection is no different. The designer revisited the light fixture as headwear, as well as wardrobing the anthropomorphic cast from Beauty and the Beast, with looks reminding us of Lumière, Cogsworth, and Plumette, the sassy maid in the shape of a feather duster. The opulence, however, isn’t plucked from a fairytale, but Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, which the set was based on. To end the show, Scott took his final bow in a red astronaut suit, and we weren’t surprised at all.
