Milan fashion week entered its
second day on Thursday with shows by numerous Italian and
international designers.
Neapolitan designer Roccobarocco created waves by using
Fabrizio Corona, an Italian paparazzi who is serving time for
fraudulent bankruptcy and blackmail, to present his 2016/2017
winter collection for women.
He appeared wearing a T-shirt carrying a pistol design and
torn jeans.
The collection hinged on a mix of masculine and feminine
elements, with a special focus on quilted jackets.
Byblos Milano instead presented a collection inspired by
the works of American artist Raymond Sepulveda and web artist
Rocio Montoya.
The result was a plethora of corolla skirts, little
A-shaped dresses, capes with three-dimensional flowers and
luxury vintage patchwork coats, among other things.
Max Mara drew its inspiration from the relationship between
female energy and the world of colour.
"To understand which way to go we looked back to the 1920s
and saw how important women were then, for example the
suffragettes," creative director Ian Griffiths said.
"We put together the colours to create that energy that
women need to face life. This is a woman that finds energy in
colour," he said.
Luisa Beccaria instead saw next winter's woman as being
romantic and self-assured, passionate about art and a lover of
nature.
This was reflected in the overlapping fabric weights and
motifs, which blend together like the colors on an artist's
palette.
Hogan plumped for black and white for the club generation,
the ideal protagonist of his collection.
Models danced up the catwalk in biker jackets and tuxedos
worn with leggings or cropped trousers, large white shirts,
duffle coats and the new limited edition 'traditional 20.15'
sneaker in white, black, silver and gold.
I'm Isola Massar took Russian artist Lilija Brik as its
muse, with prints and motifs recalling Russian constructivism
mixed with flowers, lines, jacquard and lace.
