Here we are at day 3 of Milan Fashion Week! The Giorgio Armani spring/summer 2015 collection was beautiful and elegant… and huge! This massive show contained 86 individual looks. All of the pieces kept a very sophisticated air about them. The collection stuck to natural creams and whites and nudes. However, each outfit had its own flair — whether it was a soft animal print, sequins, a unique cut, or a sheer shimmer.
Roberto Cavalli had an exciting, diverse, and beautiful collection for spring/summer 2015. The show began with bold, tribal, and almost psychedelic colors and patterns. Soon, the theme shifted to lovely cotton lace — a standout piece was the floor length, white lace gown that seemed to float down the runway. Another surprising turn that the show took was toward denim. This was no ordinary boring denim though — it was stitched over lace or paired with elegant tops to make it runway-ready. And the final piece was an airy, black and white, zebra striped gown that seemed to fill the entire catwalk.
Emilio Pucci spring/summer 2015 collection clearly received most of it’s inspiration from the 70’s. However, it doesn’t just stop there. Designer, Peter Dundas, was determined to keep the collection sexy, beautiful, and fresh. The very first number — a low cut, form-fitting, mini floral number — should prove that. From there, the show varied from tailored bright tangerine suits to flowing gowns in earthy tones that could only be called a little hippy. Dundas managed to make this hippy style stunning.
Once again, ballet dance is looked upon for spring fashion inspiration. The Bottega Veneta collection wanted to keep far away from the “workout” look — so, instead focues heavily on the grace and elegance of dance. Designer, Tomas Maier, used only the softest, most movable and breathable fabrics. He also chose to stick strictly to a very natural color scheme of grays, nudes, creams, and blacks. The ballet influence reached beyond just the barre though. Even the skirts and evening gowns were based off of a ballerina’s grace and beauty.
