As the spectacle of Milan Fashion Week begins to subside, a clearer picture on the Italian
fashion capital’s latest creative confluence begins to emerge. It’s a story that sees fashion
continue to look inward, while working to find new ways to drive engagement and interactivity –
with often electrifying results.
Set to a backdrop of Zoom windows from fans around the world who tuned in to watch the runway show in real time, Diesel expanded its textural experiments with denim into a broader spectrum of familiar yet distorted materiality for a collection that was both nostalgic and new.
The recently-ish revitalized and steadily strong forces of Bottega Veneta and Ferragamo both incorporated a sense of surrealism into everyday luxury, albeit from quite different perspectives, while the second women’s collection from Sabato De Sarno at Gucci saw the creative director’s star continue to rise.
Prada leads the pack with a collection that combined historical fashion codes and elongated the human form to create a fashion statement that was both enigmatic and romantic.
