Milan Fashion Week ends in style

Milan Fashion Week is over for another season. From Versace to Gucci to Prada, the fashion world has been taken by storm with the latest trends of the season. Highlights included Prada, which celebrated women’s history with a series of tailored pieces, flowing skirts, boxy jackets and metallic shoes. “This collection is about the history of women, the history of people, not the history of fashion,” Miuccia Prada said of the collection. “I think of groundbreaking moments in Prada’s history, and we echo them here,” said Prada co-creative director Raf Simons.

Matthieu Blazy’s first furore as creative director of Bottega Veneta took place with a bang at MFW. Her collection showcased the brand’s current signature style with an added twist. Leather skirts with fringed petticoats, high boots and futuristic dresses were the stars of the show. The designer also presented the new Kalimero bag alongside the iconic Pillow bag. “Bottega Veneta is essentially pragmatic because it is a leather goods company. Since he specializes in bags, it’s about movement, about going somewhere; there is basically a moving craft idea. It’s more style than fashion in its timelessness. It’s part of his silent power,” Blazy said of the show.

Paris Fashion Week kicks off

As Milan Fashion Week ends, Paris Fashion Week begins. The French event kicks off with shows from Off-White and The Row, which presented a fresh look at the brands we know. The first took us for a spin on “Spaceship Earth,” with casual tees and puffer jackets, oversized hats and a mix of textures. The latter took the long-sleeve trend to new lengths – literally – with suits and cuts exemplified by edgy, Japanese-inspired silhouettes and colors.

Rick Owens took his audience to the clouds. The models wore portable smoke machines and immersed everyone in a scented world, provided by a collaboration with Aesop. Her collection was futuristic and featured gothic elements, blending the two aesthetics in a world of sequins, knits, flowing silhouettes and lots of drama. “During times of grief, beauty can be one of the ways to maintain faith,” the fashion show notes read. The collections of Vivienne Westwood, Hermes, Balenciaga and many others are still to come.
