Ti Amo, Milano
Fourteen days and what seems like a lifetime ago, Milan Fashion Week was the most enjoyable fashion week I attended this year. The weather was beautiful – sunny and 60 degrees – the clothes were cheerful pops of color, almost everyone was in a good mood, and the living was easy. It wasn’t until the last day that coronavirus started to affect the city. Milan, we are wishing you a return to la dolce vita very soon.
One important fashion takeaway from Milan fashion week: saturated color. This is one of the things Italy has always done best. Again we are seeing monochromatic dressing here, but revved up for spring. Think of it as superhero outfits, separates in the same bright color from head to toe, often a pantsuit. Interestingly, we did not see a lot of prints except as an accent, which is certainly a change from the wild mishmash of Prada and Gucci prints quite recently. And the pastels of yesteryear look washed out by comparison. (more…)

Pajama Dressing: Hailey Gates at Prada Resort 2019
Pajama dressing, the luxe and louche trend of a couple of years ago, does not seem to be going away anytime soon. Fashion influencers like Hailey Gates and Virginia Smith wore silk pajamas to the Prada resort show, and Louis Vuitton has just announced a collaboration with Grace Coddington – including the cat’s pajamas.

Gotta Prada: Susie Bubble and Bryanboy at Prada Resort 2019
Prada held its 2019 resort show in NYC on Friday. Thank you, Miuccia, for coming to New York when even some American designers have gone the opposite way across the pond!

Right This Way: Kaia Gerber at Prada SS2018
Maybe it’s in the genes, but Kaia Gerber is already showing off some great personal style outside the shows. She exited the Prada show in leopard pants with mules and a vintage Metallica tee in Milan. Casual but chic.

New Kid on the Block: Gisele Fox at Prada SS2018
One of my favorite new models on the scene: Gisele Fox of Seattle, who closed the Prada show this season. Not only is she genuinely nice, she has a unique gamine look and great personal style.

Gilded Edge: Giovanna Battaglia at Valentino SS2017
Another nice high-low mix of Prada and street wear, this time on Giovanna Battaglia. At the Valentino show, she topped a denim shirt and Fenty x Puma sneakers with a gold jacquard Prada coat. The flash of ankle keeps the combination of jeans and a long coat chic, not clunky.

Michelle Elie in Comme des Garcons, Outside Kenzo SS2015
“These are my wings,” Garage Magazine’s Michelle Elie said of her leather Comme des Garçons halter and sleeves outside the Kenzo show in Paris. A huge supporter of designer Rei Kawakubo, Elie treats fashion like wearable art, not just something to wear. It’s always refreshing to see during fashion week. The shorts are Jil Sander.
