The setting for the Fay presentation was impressive: A large space in the company’s head office with blue screen. Secondly, I liked the collection of menswear and womenswear outerwear based on re-interpreted classic looks. A change from the brand’s normal DNA.
From the Fay Presentation
During Milan Fashion Week I had a very pleasant surprise. I did not plan on attending this presentation. A friend of mine had to talk me into it. Keep in mind on top of the 100 or so appointments I had on this day adding another was not something I wanted to do. I decided to go along with my friend to the presentation. Great surprises come from the unexpected. Curiel started in 1945 as a dress maker for the La Scala Set in Milan. Since that time the brand has stayed true to its origins. Making dresses representing LA DOLCE VITA! Classic, feminine, and beautiful.
I met the 2ndgeneration owner of the label. A wonderful person radiating elegance. Raffaella told me the history of the her family’s brand.
Going over looks not pandering to the “now” trend went down like a glass of wine. I had to enjoy the moment. Understanding modern clothing is about being seen. Perhaps Curiel would seem old fashion in today’s Instagram scene. No matter, the ultimate test is time. The brand’s heritage looks could still turn heads.

I viewed the last Fratelli Rosetti collection at Milan Fashion Week. The shoemakers also had a nice Spring collection with outstanding woven technics.
From Milan
Additionally, the luxury label an established luxury footwear brand goes decorative with the Brera Cult Project Collection. All 13 exotic bright fabric shoes have been inspired by landscapes. The first Brera Loafer from the Milan was introduced in 1968, named after the Milanese artist neighbourhood.
Mens and women’s looks available in limited editions.
As I have said before, Fratelli as a brand is not as well known as others. This does not mean less quality or pizazz. Every Fashion Week I look forward to checking out the looks. I leave the presentation wanting a pair. In my book, This is a good sign.
The shoes are shaped in a more classic and practical way.
Which would you choose?

Punk Rock Music Influencers from Milan Fashion Week Men
Spyder is a Korean-American active wear label. I attended the presentation last June. I found the collection impressive. In January 2019 at Milan Fashion Week Men the brand held its first runway show. Menswear mingled with a few womenswear looks.
It is too early to say if Spyder can become a rival to the likes of Nike or Under Armour but they are giving it a try.
