A Gucci Moment in Miland

Black and Paper Re-See of the Gucci Fall 2017 Collection.

The looks presented this season were inspired by the fantasies of Alessandro Michele.  There were 100 looks with many pieces ranging from oriental umbrellas to my personal favorite, sheer suits.  Feeling a bit like a couture collection, there were many rich details and embellishments, ranging from embroiled pearls on cuffs and male cut out pants suits. Gucci is a brand of accessories, and all were on hand from the new bag with a symmetrical cut and flats in a gladiator style made of styles or the jacquard shoes.    There was no overall universal theme this season, except using every color in the spectrum; while I was going over the looks, I was reminded of the cover of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, fun, optimistic, creative from a designer who is looking to the future.

Milan Fashion Week

Black and Paper coverage in Milan.  Quick images and write ups from Milan Fashion Week.  Stay tuned for more coverage.

Casadei-Mr. Casadi was tamed this season in a way but I liked the thigh high boots.

 

Ultrachic theme this season was Back to School with humor.

Celebrating it’s 90th anniversary, Furla stayed with strength by launching variations of the MyBag, a playful collection handbags with different flaps.

Vladimiro Gioia’s collection of furs might not be for the politically correct but his other looks of organza and silk hit the spot.

Fratelli Rossetti decided on personality this season for the new collection.  I am excited to see the brand break out of the comfort zone.  It is a masculine collection yet still classic.

A label making strides with its own definition of femininity veering towards the masculine side.  I was pleased with this collection.

Roberto Cavalli decadence rock&roll looks are for the adventurous, the label never disappoints.
