After New York and London, Milan offered a fashion week under the sign of women empowerment but also that of audacious transparency, revealed by Alessandro Michele’s backstage/podium fashion show for GUCCI.
The time has come for a return to more elegance, with a yes to a free and independent impertinence.
Glamourising the daytime wardrobe is the leitmotiv of Muccia Prada, Silvia Venturini for Fendi, the uncontrollable Donatella Versace, and Daniel Lee for the new Bottega Veneta give in their own way this pronounced accent of the Milanese podiums.
Strength and delicacy assert themselves together, appearing inseparable, no more borders between executive and charm, genders.
Would rigour and frivolity once again blend well together? But had they really disappeared? Or was it enough just to reveal their assets again…
HAPPINESS PINK AND HONEST GREY
And why not pink, like a claiming red, a fuchsia pink and a bubble gum, transgress with panache the masculine codes asserting with singularity a total anti morose look even in association with black.
More discreet, the 50 shades of grey, from pearl grey, to quartz, to anthracite, warm up the silhouette with a reassuring, enveloping, generous softness highlighting the diversity of the wools.
OPPOSITE ATTRACT
Male maximalism meets hyper-femininity by reaffirming the codes of tayloring with a very innovative approach, both in the redefinition of volumes but also in the association of materials.
Jackets and coats with streamlined shoulders, supported at the waist or even belted, combine with the emancipated seduction of straight skirts with slits or fringes like accomplices almost assuming a unique wear.
The traditional flannel or wool felt meets the sensual purity of satin and the cut-out suppleness of leather, distorting the expected look of the Business Women.
EXCESS AND EXTREME
The wise or the strict, the mini minimum or the maxi maximum, the extremes ensure and assume their prejudices with a redesigned purity or a chic essentiality.
The Baby Doll mini dresses take on a retro-futuristic look, moulded in second-skin leather or neoprene wool, revealing extended legs.
On the other hand, maxi lengths are more reassuring, hiding the knitted silhouette under large waistcoats and loose dresses with elongated sleeves.
DELICACY AND FRIVOLITY
The lingerie style is revealed in broad daylight, unequivocally the chic underwear reveals lace and frame, revealing the alliance of black and boudoir pink with a sophisticated delicacy. Falsely ingenuous, the Victorian dresses and slip dress suggest transparency with a romantic frivolity in extreme length and layering, or simply assume an intimate charm.
LIGHTHEARTEDNESS
Feathers, fringes cut, beaded, rhinestoned, would we want more lightness, eccentricity in our day or evening wardrobe? they seem to have taken with excess. Daring and even experimental accents, shaking up the classic codes of shirts, skirts and jackets.More retro chic with a reminiscence of the 20s, they redesign a sophisticated layered silhouette with metallic accents, up to an multi-channel accessorization and strassed pampilles.
STYLISH COQUETRY
Infinitely discreet, the waist is emphasized with finesse, after the mini bag, the belt pouch, the belt keeps the use of the strict minimum and even becomes with elegance a unique jewel. It ‘s accessorized with mini gadgets preciously high-tech or beauty by displaying the belonging of a luxurious heritage.
