PolliniYou will go to Milan for strong house looks: Versace, Fendi, Gucci, these are just as many names you know what to expect from, recognizable silhouettes and tailored looks, great couture, no disappointment, even when a few catwalk models make fashion faux-pas for one of these labels like at Prada.
Milan, like other Spring Summer 09 Fashion weeks, was all in whites and floral. You want a good idea of the SS09 key seasonal look, check out the new Luisa Beccaria collection: it is white, flowery, frilly, feminine, shapely, pretty pretty pretty and borderline sickeningly sweet... but very pretty.
It was all that jazz at Alberta Ferretti with sleek 30's low-waisted dresses in silvery silks, and Bottega Veneta came up with an interesting kind of tuxedo dress, but what made things truly interesting in Milan was the way designers played with fabrics and patterns, patchworking muslins with taffetas, making heavy shantung silks ethereal by combining them with an aura of gauze, mix and matching patterns and colours into part-retro, part-futuristic mind-blowing creations. Mix-and-match was the magic tool that made things happen on runways.
Oversize took a new meaning at Moschino with statement flowers and bows, while Missoni and Pollini gave a new sense to Japanese influences with kimono and origami shapes. Pollini was the definite pick-me-up collection, cheeky, girly, and funny in an all psychedelic mise-en-scene. Heart crush on Marni: these three were the most inventive, interesting and accomplished collections in Milan this year, and should give our fashionista readers plenty of ideas come wardrobe-making time for the new season.
