The cycle of fashion weeks rolled on as Milan stepped up to the plate, with the city’s biggest names in the game serving up collections that felt somewhat introspective in the way they each seemed to look within to find what was at the core of their own brand and what that means for fashion today. The results were expectedly varied, but an emphasis on craft and being able to get dressed up came to the fore.
At Moschino, Jeremy Scott introduced us to his vision of couture-core with a collection that was equal parts punk rebellion and ostentatious elegance.
Matthieu Blazy continued to wow at Bottega Veneta, revealing further sides to his vision at the house while reveling in a mastery of craft and the unboundedly imaginative constructions it allows him to explore.
Fendi takes home the top spot with a collection that the house’s head jewelry designer (and internationally renowned jewelry designer in her own right), Delfina Delettrez Fendi herself stands in as muse for creative director Kim Jones, resulting in a collection that put devilishly inventive twists on luxury staples for a powerful ode to elevated personal style.
