With so many shows happening during a Fashion Week, the busy fashionista might not have time to watch every single one.
But with reviews, it makes it easier to narrow down and figure out which ones deserve their undivided attention.
So with that being said, here are the reviews for five of the top shows from Milan Fashion Week:
GUCCI
“Evoked a darkly poetic opulence├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥at times nymphlike, but with the fragility counterbalanced by references to a briskly dandy-ish masculinity with a dash of swaggering World War I militaria. It made for an extensive and varied flow of sophisticated clothes, softer and richer in tone, in a show which also encompassed the emerging ideas in fall├óΓé¼Γäós fashion narrative. It made for Giannini├óΓé¼Γäós best collection yet.├óΓé¼┬¥
—Vogue
PRADA
“In the late 1990s, Ms. Prada├óΓé¼Γäós ├óΓé¼╦£ugly beauty├óΓé¼Γäó collections challenged all kinds of assumptions, and her latest batch of clothes, in geometric prints and jacquards, really descends from that period. One difference is that patterns, redolent of old-carpet designs, now have graphic punch. Colors├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥orange, violet, persimmon├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥are super-saturated.”
—The New York Times
MARNI
“Much more straightforward, maybe more restrained than usual. One interpretation: Castiglioni├óΓé¼Γäós collaboration with H&M had allowed her to get a lot of classic Marni out of her system, offered her pause for reflection, and pointed her toward a possible future. Expect more changes.”
—Style
JIL SANDER
“In a collection as elegant, nuanced, and thoughtful as the designer himself, Raf Simons├óΓé¼Γäós final show for the house of Jil Sander proved an exquisite coda to his remarkable career here. In his design trajectory, this inventive Belgian has reimagined menswear, changing the fashionable male paradigm in the process ├óΓé¼┬ª then successfully transitioned to womenswear at Jil Sander where, since 2005, he has explored├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥beautifully, and with ever-increasing assurance├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥the house codes of subtle understatement and pragmatic minimalism, and layered them with his own interest in midcentury style and contemporary innovation.”
—Vogue
BOTTEGA VENETA
“At Bottega, Tomas Maier showed chic, beautifully balanced coats and suits in dark matte wools with velvet details and covered buttons. You noticed how perfect the look was, and nothing more.├óΓé¼┬¥
—The New York Times
