Milan Fashion Week
It seems, most of the designers are looking at the past for new ideas. After London Fashion Week, where designers presented designs inspired by the 60’s and 70’s, the designers showing at the Milan Fashion week are doing the same. Robert Cavalli, the designer famous for his flamboyant designs, took inspiration from the 50’s for his collection, showed at the Milan Fashion Week. Cavalli’s designs were inspired by Nathalie Wood’s style in her blockbuster movie “West Side Story”. Cavalli opened his show with white dresses with roses printed on them, prom frocks with matching gloves and shoes, mimosa and Wisteria. But Cavelli’s show was not totally devoted to 50’s, as he also presented some designs inspired by the Incas. He presented some traditional tan knits, embroidered vests in white, grey and black colour and peasants skirts. Cavalli ended the show with prom dresses in black. Cavalli’s collection, which was lauded by the audiences, was quite different from the sexy clothes which he used to present earlier.
Another designer, whose collection was appreciated by the audiences, was Antonio Marras. He started showing his autumn winter collection with bride and bride groom’s attires. For men, he presented the simple suiting and pin stream coats. For women, he presented full skirts, tops, dresses with metallic sequin details and silver jewellery. Some of the designs in Marras’s show were also inspired by the 40’s and 50’s. He ended his show with the scene inspired from Chagall’s famous 1950 painting “The Mariée”.
