Bottega Veneta a brand more known for its leather bags and accessories shifted the attention more towards drape and clothing. Maier developed some cotton woven fabric, blended with metal and some printed dyed too. The collection consists of a black wrap skirt with an exuberant flounce at the waist paired with a white button-down, long red dress with woven threads handing as surface ornamentation paired with red leather handbag. Toward the end of the show there were more embellishment, like mohair fringing that accented belted plissé tank dresses and royal blue with metallic appliqués embroidered.
Roberto Cavalli the man who know how to make women look glamorous. It was a classic Cavalli show with more techo feeling; the collection has a lot of metallic effects on both black and white. Tapered pant with metallic belt printed shirt with matching printed jacket, metal long chain necklace was seen with all the models, long layered dress with silver metallic bracelet, matching leather bag as an add on accessory is also seen throughout the show, leather and fur jacket making the gorgeous cavalla statement, some cut work and lace tops popped in between. The silver-screen dreaminess of the result fell into place when the models walked out en masse at the end of the show. At that point, it became perfectly clear that Cavalli-wood was a director’s dream world.
Jil Sander is now more than the best ever, it is an effortless task for Jil who is the pioneer for minimal sophistication and elegance. The collection showed cropped white pants, cropped navy top and jacket, a black and white feathered skirt with an artful pinafore top, long coat with princess panel cut and some graphical multi-color printed dresses. These fractured figurative prints were inspired by the work of Arte Povera master Alighiero Boetti. They were as colorfully animated as any element Sander has ever used in a collection. Jil always cut like a dream, and the jackets here that dipped in front and eased up aerodynamically in the back captured that knack. The colors dominated were white, off white, black and multicolor prints.
The Moschino show was complete glamour and fashion; rather hot, sexy and vibrant. As it says in the invitation FOR FASHION VICTIMS ONLY, this statement was then truly reflected in the catwalk. Today’s show was all about good girl and bag girl – the duality of good and bad. Two models walking at the same time wearing two different variation of the similar outfit- one is good another is bad girl. A floral printed dress in contrast to a same floral printed shirted showing bra with a hot pant; then a complete black outfit as bad girl to a complete white outfit as good girl. Overall the collection is very casual and glamorous putting no bar to any age.
