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.

Berlin Fashion Week Review
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.

Fashion Designer Pedro Pedro
Pedro Pedro
Pedro Pedro attended the Academia de Moda do Porto before creating his own brand in 1998. He is the winner of the I Mode European Fashion Awards 03 in Brussels. Pedro Pedro looks have been featured in Vogue, Elle, and Collezione Dona.
For his 2017 collection Pedro Pedro held a runway show during Milan Fashion Week. He gave the Black and Paper an interview after to describe the collection and his inspirations.
The opening pieces were breezing then moved to muted tones, why?
The theme was all about a David Lynch movie named “Dune”, and it’s located in a post apocalypse world dominated by a great desert, so that’s why it goes to sandy shades of beige and pastel colors.
Being from Portugal, how does this influence your outlook on clothing?
We are living in a Global Age where the information flow is the same for everybody, access to the same news and images at the same time. So maybe my approach to a particular theme is as particular as me being part of this country, Portuguese sensibility of style.

What was the design approach?
I think the theme asked for this kind of approach, usually I like to show a cooler, looser shape and this time I went further with adding asymmetrical details in a fluid and softer materials.
Soft feminine looks were central to the collections, do you feel woman are moving away from gender neutral looks?
I am big fan of mixing gender and I always have a masculine approach into my designs. Mostly there are some tailored coats, parkas and trousers that can be ambiguous.
There were no accessories this season, all was clean.
There were some styling effects with basic bags designed by me and a partnership with shoes manufactures, those were also designed by me.
