The Fashion Week concluded in Milan, the day before yesterday, with a fashion show for the house of "Valentino", which has chosen exceptionally the Italian city instead of Paris to present its new collection for men and women for the spring and summer of 2021.
After the London and Paris Fashion Weeks, Milan Fashion Week was organized in turn in light of health measures such as the rules of social distancing imposed by the "Covid-19" pandemic, although more than 20 fashion houses, including "Valentino", "Fendi" and "Dolce And" Gabbana, Etro, Ferragamo and Max Mara have made a bet to hold live shows in the presence of their customers.
Among those singer Mika who answered the call of "Valentino", and said that "the show was wonderful," noting that he loved "the unconventional choice of performers from very different women and men who constitute the best representation of today's world."
Here are the most prominent fashion trends that emerged this week:
"Long live Italy"
Whether it is possible to travel to Italy next summer or not, it will be possible, at least through the collections shown during Milan Week.
The "Dolce & Gabbana" collection is like a trip to Sicily, with its drawings dear to the heart of the house, which suggest the island's warmth, colors and richness.
As for the fashion "Etro", a walk on the Amalfi Coast, drawn by the restoration of the "Paisley" pattern for which the house is known, and the light nature of the shapes, as if the long and loose caftan is a beautiful picnic project on the shores of the Riviera.
And the fashion «Pucci» tribute to Capri, the island of magic and arts and the film «Le Mebre» by Jean-Luc Godard, through engravings in fruit colors that represent the most prominent features, including «Piazetta di Capri» and «Cantzoni del Mary» and «Villa Conchillia».
For its part, Max Mara has chosen art as the centerpiece of its collection, through which it directs a salute to the Italian Renaissance, embodied in hexagonal carvings reminiscent of the mosaic floors in the most beautiful Italian cathedrals.
From the designs of the past
The stone stage was also an occasion for Italian fashion houses to return to their archives and to work on benefiting again from the most prominent designs of the past.
So, “Versace”, for example, exhumed the “Treasure of the Sea” inscription invented by Janie Versace in the 1990s, and made it the centerpiece of its next collection, through Bahri printing presses.
Fendi is inspired by its softly embroidered Silvia Venturini Fendi family linen.
As for "Marnie", she presented a variety of coats that started from the designs of previous collections and printed on them words sent by the designer Francesco Risso's friends in letters during the stone stage.
Dolce & Gabbana used fabric scraps it had in its collection to avoid the production of new fabrics.
Lace and crochet
Also, the Milan Week collections featured embroidery, lace and crochet.
In the Valentino collection, lace is laser-cut or made of straw.
And set up «Valentino» display in an old factory decorated with flowers and plants.
The embroidery dominated the "Fendi" assortment of dresses, coats and accessories. It is also present in glamorous fashion in the "Armani" collection, and in "Alberta Ferretti" fashion on capes and light dresses with loose sleeves.
Quarantine
The fashion inspired by the quarantine was not lost, and it was expressed in elegantly designed home clothes. From «Armani», pants clothes for sleeping made of silk, and at «Fendi» slippers with «Tayor» of two pieces, while «Etro» designed loose-fitting caftan nightgowns, and presented « Max Mara »Sweatshirts with a hood.
Italian fashion seemed to add elegance to the stage trends, using precious materials, taking into account the importance of comfort provided by clothes during the stay at home.
Fashion "Etro" is a journey on the Amalfi Coast, and "Dolce & Gabbana" a trip to Sicily.
The sanitary stone-inspired fashions are not lost on elegantly crafted home wear.
