The star designer Giorgio Armani decorated the fashion at Milan Fashion Week this year with flowers. Another designer label was all about suits.
Giorgio Armani said he wanted to convey “a message of grace and hope” in the press release for his collection, which he titled “Winter Flowers”. And so he sprinkled floral motifs on coats, blazers, hats, scarves and shoes, and for the evening theme also in the form of glittering embroidery on robes.
Always on a dark background, on colors such as pine green or midnight blue. There is often a shimmering shine over everything, created by fabrics such as velvet, silk and satin. Various wide, flowing trouser shapes, jackets with relief structures and fluffy coats are among the key elements of Armani’s new fashion.
All about the tuxedo
Dolce & Gabbana built their featured collection around the tuxedo. The classic element of men’s evening wear is interpreted cheekily and frivolously for women. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana deconstruct the tuxedo and then combine the individual elements with seductive lingerie.
For example, they layer a bolero with satin lapels with a lace top. The tuxedo pants are sometimes shortened to Bermuda or shorts, the cummerbund remains, and a sequin top is worn over them. Transparency, mesh looks and lingerie elements are omnipresent. They are sometimes covered in long coats. In keeping with the tuxedo theme, black is the dominant color of this collection.
Milan Fashion Week ends on Monday with five purely digital presentations, including by Laura Biagiotti. It then continues seamlessly in Paris. The prêt-à-porter parades start there on the same day.
