Here’s the round up of those truly ‘WOW!’ moments over at Milan Fashion Week… Bottega Veneta's collection had Grace Kelly personality. Slinky, long flowing gowns full of assured attitude. It was a soft, beautiful offering spiked with feminine aggression. Ruffles met creases met folds. Nude luxurious organza coated leathers and hand loomed wools refused to take current financial troubles into consideration. Thomas Maier, the talent behind this offering, told press "With all that's going on, I just switched off the TV news and thought about designing appetizing clothes to make women feel pretty and attractive".
There was a familiar '80s theme at Gucci. Tweed power suits, peg leg trousers and a generous helping of glamour. One shoulder dresses styled alongside double breasted jackets and sleek accessories. Lashings of black and grey were brought to life with ruby and emerald highlights. Frida Gianni took inspiration from Tina Chow. "She had many sides to her personality, dangerous, tough, feminine, androgynous and fetishist, which is very important for this collection."
Peter Dundas for Pucci made a clear move away from traditional Pucci prints for his first collection for the Italian fashion house. There was a rockstar theme with skin tight trousers, super mini dresses, and an unfamiliar dark palette. The occasional print emerged as was enclosed in chic simple garments, marking a modern switch for the Italian fashion house.
My attention was fully focused on Blumarine’s Autmn/Winter 09 offering, see picture. Splashed in glorious, crystalised neon pastels the rock chic collection again referenced the 1980's with funky prints. Quirky, loud animal prints shown along with very wearable knitwear. A beautifully, simply cheerful collection.
