Milan Fashion Week: Wednesday 22nd February

What you tend to get from Fashion Week is New York very much presenting comfort clothing, followed by London that is a little more quirky then you get the real couture and beauty with Milan and Paris. Kicking off yesterday, this was definitely no exception to the rule and first of all, Gucci delivered a beautiful show just like I hoped they would. 

GUCCI

Gucci was all about dark glamour and modern romanticism. It alluded to the decadence of the 19th Century as well as a classic gothic influence. There was a really edgy look to it and each piece was just so stunning. There was velvet, lace, feathers and sheer silk fabrics in colours such as deep red, black and grey. Another top show for fashion week

 ALBERTA FERRETTI

As usual, Ferretti was romantic and floaty but there was a definite idea of taking masculine elements but making them highly feminine. There was no use of prints, just a very monochromatic look with slight pops of colour every now and again. Everything was delicate and sensual and it was a perfectly great collection on a whole. 

FRANCESCO SCOGNAMIGLIO

What was most noticeable of this collection at first was that it was less elaborate than usual and kept very tame. There were a few pieces that got a lot more exaggerated but on a whole, it was definitely a lot less shocking. There was some amazing pieces in the collection though some would argue that Scognamiglio is better when he is going more overboard.
