The everyday luxury of the Fendi fashion show

A walk through the streets of Rome. If the panorama always leaves you surprised, this time the look studied by is striking for its naturalness Kim Jones for the muse of the Fendi fashion show staged at Milan Fashion Week 2023: a girl from another era, self-confident, capable of not worrying about other people’s thoughts. Naturally elegantthanks to a few “easy” pieces, with blocks of saturated color inspired by the collection Spring-Summer 1999 Of Karl Lagerfeld, to be worn freely. Sinuous knitwear in kid mohair, deconstructed tailored trousers, evening silk dresses worn in everyday life, glossy and oversized duster coats, sponge-effect summer suits, combined with flat ballet flats with metal straps that revive the iconic embroidery in a modern key, like jewels Saddlery.

The luxury of the Fendi show is more effortless than anything else, underlined by a precious style ally: the bag, or rather the‘It Bag, the true protagonist also in the 3D versions that punctuate the catwalk. The common thread is the collection of arm icons of the Maison, from Peekaboo at the baguettefrom the Origami at the Firstuntil the new one Flip, a practical shopper that folds like a clutch bag. And you wear it every day, with extreme nonchalance.

The mobile lightness of Alberta Ferretti

Frays, notches, ribbons, nets. Thin, delicate, light. The collections are all a game of full and empty spaces Alberta Ferretti, even more evident, by contrast, in the very solid setting of the Cortile della Rocchetta of the Castello Sforzesco in Milan. A wardrobe balanced between incisiveness and rigor, impalpability and nakedness, roughness, indeed, lightness. Non-color plays a predominant role, a nude rosé which blends with the skin and fabrics, revealing unexpected and incisive nuances. A soft femininity, but enhanced by a sensual, at times masculine look: on the one hand the draped and flowing dresses and tunics that caress the skin, on the other the suits with wide trousers and constructed jackets.

The details of functional pockets, drawstrings and tie rods, and portholes with chains leave every woman the freedom to discover herself, in a decisive and strong-willed game, reflected in the carved footwear. The appearance of stripes and floral prints denotes a mobile and updated femininityconstantly changing.

The veiled contrasts of N°21

From Rome of the Fendi fashion show, to Naples. The most aristocratic and at the same time folkloristic Italian city is the main inspiration of the collection shown on the catwalk by Alessandro Dell’Acqua for Spring-Summer 2024 by No. 21. A line with a double soul: on the one hand, the designer’s classics, with the visible lingerie, the maxi transparent sequins that adorn the flat pointed ballerinas and the jackets, the plays of organza, lace and chiffon of the impalpable effect dresses trompe l’oeil. On the other, the satin ring boxers, the men’s cotton tank tops and briefs, the striped shirts. Seductive and carnal, with a folkloristic touch. Once you have learned the stylist’s suggestions, it is impossible not to think of Sammartini’s Veiled Christ in the veiled outings combined with micro wedding dresses.

Austere and chaste, sensual and mysterious, pop in the sense of popular: just like the simplest of Little black dress, the piece to which the designer is most devoted which also returns in this show. The key that solves the dilemma and rearranges the cards – a bit like the blood of San Gennaro, which was dissolved on September 19th as per tradition.

Etro’s Neverland

Nowhere. It’s called exactly Nowhere the new collection by Marco De Vincenzo for Etro. After the run-in year, the designer for Spring-Summer 2024 continues to follow his path, experimenting with different textures and prints, lengths and silhouettes, styles and accents. The mix is ​​synergistic, for a collection that seems to float towards distant worlds: there is a western feel in the leather garments with visible stitching, from micro and macro skirts to oversized jackets; The Paisley it is reinterpreted in a brocade key, and stands out brightly on Seventies flared trousers, but also on crop-tops and maxi dresses with buttons that are worn like waistcoats.

Striped knit cardigans and skirts and pure rawhide denim pieces bring you back down to earth. But they are worn with inlaid silk tops, which evoke the colors of the sea and make you dream of exotic destinations. The message is clear: what matters, ultimately, is going. And often, reality surpasses fantasy.

The animal beat by Roberto Cavalli

Welcome to the jungle. Glamorous, glossy and populated by “fairs” of the caliber of Vittoria Ceretti and Mariacarla Boscano, wrapped in micro feather dresses, flamingo-print suits and maxi caftans, roaring animalier leather trousers, worked jackets that mimic trunks, skirts carved like bungalows. This is the wild atmosphere that can be felt on the catwalk of the fashion show Roberto Cavalli Spring-Summer 2024 staged at Milan Fashion Week 2023, from the setup to the wardrobe.

An exotic and unscrupulous collection, designed to celebrate at sunset, starting from the shaded colors up to the designs. A Seventies touch, from teardrop glasses with colored lenses to woven clogs, seal the look with accessories. The signature is still that of Fausto Puglisi, the stylist who guides the brand in the wake of his very personal tradition, draws from the archives and shuffles the cards, making the beating heart of the brand beat.

Onitsuka Tiger’s layering layers

Born as a footwear brand, transformed into an all-round casual look today Onitsuka Tiger pushes on the stratifications of the wardrobe, plays with fabrics and designs.
