How to describe Milan Fashion Week


Blazy's "new culture" is reflected in the fashion, which is the reinterpretation of exotic customs in Italian handicraft techniques. The tropical plant form presents a passionate side in the form of weaving, and the rattan weaving process full of local characteristics becomes a new idea to shape the silhouette of the fashion, or to simulate the wild growth of green plants in the jungle bush. The ingredients are dyed and stitched together, and with the collaboration of Blazy and Bottega Veneta craftsmen, the world can be worn. As he says, "Some people say crafts are obsolete, but I think it's the opposite. It's a world of infinite possibilities."

Ferragamo creative director Maximilian Davis delves into the colorful world of art this season, exploring how different artistic styles can be integrated into fashion in a balanced and powerful form. On Davis's inspiration board, art from the Italian Arte Povera movement, painter Agostino Brunias, Renaissance art styles, and 18th-century Caribbean dress styles feature prominently.

"Fanaticism is the quintessential idea that runs through my work. I integrate this feeling into daily life and everyday wear, with the intention of creating a modern and modern feeling."

The genius of Davis is not to pile these artistic elements together in symbolic form, but to extract the creative spirit of them after tasting the artistic style, such as the raw linen and cotton fabrics with the visual effect of leather, the sculptural subtleties of wood accessories, and the dynamic shapes of natural fabrics.

"I intended to give the work a sense of pure reality. The collection resonates with the pieces in your wardrobe, but it's also fun to touch."

A trip to Tenerife in Spain last year inspired Chinese designer Qiu Shuting to incorporate a range of beachfront elements into the style of eponymous brand Shuting Qiu, with beachwear and swimwear looks from tropical islands mixed with the brand's signature blazers, coats and cardigans.

Her repertoire of psychedelic prints and embroidery combinations is perfect for depicting the exotic nature of Marine life, extending the colorful and romantic tropical atmosphere from the island to the runway.

It is worth mentioning that although the design inspiration comes from a trip to a foreign country, the craft of expressing these images is derived from designer Qiu Shuting's hometown, and the collaboration with Hangzhou embroidery artisans shows the potential of traditional embroidery techniques in modern fashion creativity, with three-dimensional starfish decoration, sequin dots simulating the scales and textures of sea creatures. Make the whole series more exciting in the details.

By acquiring new knowledge in the process of looking at the world, and then interpreting it with local skills, Shuting Qiu is wandering at the intersection of Eastern and Western fashion.

The reason why style becomes style, "unchanged" is one of the very important factors, and Giorgio Armani's insistence for decades is one of the most worthy of writing representatives, even if the public has been familiar with his style, but every season show can still arouse our yearning for beauty and expectations.

The Spring/Summer 2024 collection is still a continuation of Mr. Armani's aesthetic, he named his collection "Vibe", based on those timeless tower shoulder jackets, suit trousers and tulle shawls.

"Vibe" focuses on Mr. Armani's perception of color, and the five parts of the show use color as a distinguishing transition, all of which are the integration of his preferred color palette.

First, bronze and metallic colors are the main color, followed by a clear blue-green system like the ocean, followed by the deep black tones of the night sky, and the bright moon white that appears in the pantsuit.

In the final section, Mr. Armani chose to finish with a mother-of-pearl-like luster color, bringing a rich experience comparable to haute couture, which is synonymous with timeless elegance at all times.

After saying goodbye to Jeremy Scott's crazy games, Moschino, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this season, invited more creative talent to join the brand's fun-loving DNA, Four fashion stylists - Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele, Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, Lucia Liu and Katie Grand - crossed over as designers for this season's Moschino show, each with a mini-collection, To Mr. Franco Moschino for his short but illustrious creative career.

Four female stylists combined their aesthetic styles with Mr. Moschino's classic works to create a contemporary fashion look, Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele's design is full of strong French style, elegant and slightly mixed rebel.

Gabriella Karefa-Johnson presents a passionate and exotic experience from the perspective of a black woman.

Chinese stylist Lucia Liu matched her favorite romantic and fun works from the Moschino archive, and the combination of roses, butterflies and hearts was undoubtedly the most closely related to the anniversary theme in the exhibition.

Katie Grand, who invited the dancers, turned the show into a crazy dance floor. In the series designed with all-black and white elements, oversized slogan hoodies, hand-painted prints of false vision, and unfinished details, she completed the salute to the brand founder from the abstract "rebellious" spirit, perhaps these diverse and eclectic attempts. That's what Franco Moschino wanted to see.

What would Tom Ford be without Tom Ford?

The arrival of Peter Hawkings is a reassuring sign for everyone.

Perhaps from the time the brand decided to move the big show to Milan Fashion Week, the signal was already released to continue the original style.

Although this is Hawkings' debut at the brand, he has been working for Tom Ford for 25 years, particularly in charge of developing the brand's menswear collection, and there is arguably no one better suited to take over the role.

Luxury velvet, satin, fringe, pressed leather, or we are familiar with the Tom Ford, in the current era of the general return to the very simple luxury, Hawkings is still in the brand's high-profile unrestrained style waving the flag, not surprisingly on the stage of Milan fashion Week, with the action to prove the importance of adhering to the brand style.

In the rapidly changing business era, the fashion industry is accustomed to using the change of style as a means to stimulate performance. Perhaps such a quick turn of the ship can get the favor of the moment in the context of the trend, but only by keeping the unique characteristics and styles can we avoid losing ourselves in the current environment and move towards a more long-term future.
