Cavalli
Nocturnal is the mood Cavalli collection consisting of cat prints, snakeskin, peacock feathers. White, Black, and animal palettes were on display in Milan from the designer this season. Sensuality is the trademark of Cavalli, keeping to the brands DNA, the looks blended ornamentation and detailed craftsmanship using tweeds, furs, beads, and strips of python fabrics.

Bally
Running from opulent evening wear to sportswear, Bally’s Fall 2017 collection consisted of purple double breasted coats, tartan blazers, and two piece suits with bow ties influenced by the GO-GO 70’s of clubbing with Mic and Bianca Jagger. Metallic slip-on shoes with oversize buckles, animal print bags were accessory highlights.
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.

Berlin based designer Lana Mueller, Lana Mueller and co-owner Gelena Roizen, are known for creating feminine looks. The designing duo has a preference for lace but this season their collection incorporated leather fabrics. Combining strong with soft fabrics is never easy. In my opinion the sheer and solid lace looks were stronger compared to the mixed material dresses. The leather pieces of the collection lacked dramatic impact or excitement.

The three most flattering colors a woman can wear are:
Paris is the capitol of shopping so of course it would be home to the first department store, Le Bon Marche. Housed in a building from the 19th century that on the left bank near Blvd St. Germain, Le Bon Marche is the most boutique like Grand Magasin in the city showcasing established as well as new designers. For avid shoppers this place is inspiring with so much charm.
Martin Margiela, the fashion worlds deconstructionist Garbo because of his aversion to interviews and being photographed launched his house in 1988. The Royal Academy of Arts graduate rejected fashion as a luxury form but instead used vintage and old materials incorporated into new looks and designs. The historical aesthetic of this brand is about pick and mix with forms.
John Galliano has been the Creative Director of the label since 2015. I admit it, I was excited when it was announced Mr. Galliano would take the helm of the brand, a perfect match of the whimsical combined with different elements of inspirations. Both the house and its new head were not afraid to play with proportions or fabrics; there was the mutual history of exploration.
When it was confirmed I could see the Spring-2017 collection up close and personal it was a dream come true. I saw the details, touched the material, it gave me real appreciation of the collection. For me, the transparent blouse was great. There were pieces inspired by backpacks; skirts with broken pieces of CD’s and interpretations of the classic trench coat were other highlights.
Margiela has always been a label with a certain style, but still endures.
A BIG THANK YOU to the Margiela Team.
Milan Fashion is timeless elegance based on a clean aesthetic.
