Milan Fashion Week: among ladies and it-girls

Also available in: Italian

Emporio Armani

This week in Milan surprised us by the variety of collections on the catwalk and beyond. Many (and interesting) are the inspirations and trends for the next season.

From Emporio Armani, color dominates in an elegant and discreet way, and hide or gray or black which are the main threads of the collection. Clean cuts, dry to highlight the female figure and very sensual are the characteristics for new jackets that are combined with pants and skirts.

Etro idealizes, in a mood very Klimt/Eastern Europe, a cosmopolitan woman who travels wrapped in colorful and ultra-luxurious jackets but also in suits and pants from the patchwork of colors and fabrics that make it look nomadic.

Uma Wang

Like the Chinese designer Uma Wang who season after season strengthens its presence in the European market. For next winter, gold, burgundy, black, and beige will be the protagonists. A surprise cuts so contemporary as glitzy and brocades are used for evening gowns and hoods.

For Blumarine, femininity rhymes with strength. Here then, they take to the platform hyper-sexy short dresses or sensual dresses that enhance the degree of being a woman, but did not fall into the vulgar. Interesting combination of material “classics” such as silk and cashmere to the most innovative leather which worked like it was pvc.

If, during the parades, the collections are dedicated to more self-aware, mature and refined women, press presentations surprise by their youth and try to appeal to a more it-girl audience.

Paula Cademartori , the young Brazilian designer who is breaking into the world of accessories, for example, has, in her new showroom in via Borgogna, a collection of bags inspired by space, the seabed and the play of light. Important, for the next season, in addition to the thousands of colors, patterns and materials of clutch games (Miniadurees), Heritage handbags (where experimentation of form and materials is enhanced), from bags from major volumes (collection Radical), the introduction of a collection of small leather accessories like ipad covers, mobile phone holder and document holder and above the shoe line, which incorporates, in a hyper sensual way, the concept of fashion handbags.

Sergio Rossi

Classic and with a hint of glamour, handbags from Orciani for next fall are embellished with studs and chains. First model is Mars, inspired by the kangaroo, in lizard print, and Long Beach and the line Cube, embellished with chains.

As for the shoes, Sergio Rossi is inspired by Bianca Brandolini d’Adda and together it creates the new autumn/winter 2015-16 collection that plays on contrasts of black and white and the female with the male. Particularly the boot-sock, made of lycra-stretch and network, a future must-have for fans of the brand.

Care Label finally, the young brand of Italian Independent group, presents its collection of luxury denim. Machining effect leather, brocade effect polka dots or just the most luxurious jeans will accompany the young client’s brand for the next season. Two goodies coming: the capsule collection with Italian Independent and the opportunity to obtain a tailored jeans.
