Some of the best (and most fun) shows of this Fashion Month
Now that Paris Fashion Week has come to a close, another Fashion Month is over.
So it only seems fair we made a recap, given its importance. This month was full of surprises: just when we thought we had seen it all, brands still found a way to amaze and wow us.
Here are some of the most fun and eclectic shows we witnessed.
We started out in New York, as tradition dictates. In the Big Apple anything can happen, and the frensy is almost fascinating.
Ralph Lauren decided to escape this turmoil and organized for the guests a transfer to find peace and nature outside the city, in one of the chicest locations of all: the Hamptons. Nothing says old money America like this part of Long Island, the most coveted of all the summer destinations in the USA, so it only seems fitting that the brand wanted it to be the scenario for their new collection.
At the Khalily stable iconic models like Naomi Campbell paraded clothes that scream America seaside holiday.
Alaïa took us to the Guggenheim: it’s not the first time a brand does a show in a museum (think of Tory Burch at the American Museum of Natural History last year), but it’s the first time it has ever been done at the Guggenheim. The choice is very well calibrated, since this is the first show in New York in many years: the modern architecture of the museum pairs beautifully with the essence of the brand, and it represents a deep link between Alaïa and the city of New York.
In Milan things got hectic, with uncertain weather and terrible traffic. But the show must go on, and so it did.
Dolce&Gabbana showcased the true and most authentic Italian Beauty: classic and elegant silhouettes, dresses that sensually hugged the figures in true Italian style.
The models were walking the runway coming down from a sumptuous staircase: step by step they paraded down to the notes of a vibrant and sensual soundtrack. Diffused lighting completed the scene, and enhanced the collection.
Bottega Veneta, as one of the most anticipated shows of the season, did not disappoint. Guests were invited to the “room of memories”, where Matthieu Blazy, creative director of the brand, wanted them to feel as if they were entering a little boy’s imagination; a place where everything is possible and any little opportunity opens a world of possibilities.
Apart from the collection, which we all loved and admired, guests were pleasantly surprised at their seating for the occasion: bean bag chairs shaped like animals, the comfiest of them all.
How fun to watch a great and fun collection seated on a panda. Or a bear. Or a bunny, like Jacob Elordi did (did you catch the connection with the campaign?).
Brands in Paris closed with a bang this year. It seemed like they felt the need to make a statement, to remind the fashion world of their importance.
The shows this year were outstanding, but a couple of them stood out for creativity.
Louboutin broke all the implicit rules of a fashion show, and brough drama to PFW.
The setting was eclectic, the show was jaw dropping. A set that reminisced 50’s Hollywood musicals (built in the famous Olympic and Paralympic swimming pool) was the setting for the most fun and unexpected of the performances: the French synchronized swimming team carried out a routine in high red bottom pumps.
Coperni ended the fashion month with an unforgettable night. It wanted to be remembered, and what better way than taking all the guests at Disneyland?
The famous amusement park became the playground for the brand for the night, and models walked the runway with the magical castle lit in the back. A true princess dream. After all, this is what the collection was all about: a celebration of the lightheartedness and enthusiasm we felt when we were little, and a reminder that, even if adults, those feelings never really leave us.
