As always, the Anteprima fashion show is one of the main “evening events” of the Milan fashion week official calendar. This time the Italian-Japanese brand has announced that will celebrate soon its 20th anniversary with two capsule collections in collaboration with the emerging fashion designer Ezumi Yasutoshi and the jewel designer Matthew Campbell Laurenza. As you can easily imagine, the parterres of the Anteprima fashion shows are characterized by a huge number of Japanese guests, and it’s not so extra-ordinary seeing such elegant scenes like a whole row of men standing up as a sign of respect for a lady. This makes you feel as in another dimension, so far from…

At the beginning of the Milan fashion week, Juan Caro and Fabio Sasso presented the LEITMOTIV women’s Spring Summer 2013 collection titled “Dream Day“, in a huge space of an ancient building in the very central Via Dante. On the walls there were projected digital animations made by Apparati Effimeri visual designers, that physically transported the visitor into the imaginary scenarios of the prints of the collection. You were transported in front of a peaceful Hockney-like swimming pool surrounded by arabesque tiles, then under a XVIIIth century loggia overlooking a paradise on earth with a pond and birds flying in the background.

Here it is the final recap of the last Paris Fashion Week that you could follow even on The Fashion Commentator Facebook Page. In Paris there has been no news on the catwalks, but a lot of surprises, so as the delusions. But fashion goes on…and maybe it’s too late yet. We have to think to the pre-collections soon!

In the sunny afternoon of September 20th a varied crowd is waiting outside Via Manin,19 to enter the Krizia fashion show. There are the press, the bloggers, the fotobloggers (posed exclusively outside the most famous designers’ fashion shows) and a huge group of foreign buyers including rich Arabian women. At the entrance, the hostesses give to all the women a small piece of jewelry, a simple gift, with which begins an imaginary dialogue between the guests and the designer herself, that will continue through the collection.

September 19, 2.30 p.m. – Outside the Sheraton Diana Majestic Hotel in Milan is going to be consumed the ephemeral spectacle of the”fashion circus” with photographers ready to capture every outfit of the exiting guests of the Gucci fashion show. Everybody is there: normal people, celebrities and “celebrities wannabe”. They all stay close to the entrance barriers, striking a fake casual pose, hoping to be photographed by Scott Schumann and become a fashion icon for almost 15 seconds of their life (now we are in the XXIst century, forget the Warhol’s 15 minutes of fame). In the meantime, in the…

She lives in a new imaginary city of Atlantis colonized by plant forms. She lives in symbiosis with the shapes, colors and traditions of the city which arise in the clothes she wears. She is the Silvio Betterelli woman imagined for the Spring Summer 2013 Metrorural collection. The show begins, a loud music in time with the on and off LED lights seems a crescendo, a red, green and blue pulse that goes faster and faster. The first model stays at the beginning of the catwalk, as for a laser scanning. The make up takes on a different light and the…

The Emilian fashion designer Angelo Marani welcomed his guests in the new location of the Garage Milano and for the Spring Summer 2013 presented the Tropical Active Eden collection, designed for dynamic and sporty women, who don’t want to compromise on femininity. The stretch fabric become an ultra colored second skin decorated with a kaleidoscope effect made of floral exotic prints, combined with African tye-dye prints and the leoprint, main signature of the house. The short dresses and the top-tanks characterize by an A shaped silhouette, end in a game of fluffy ruffles, often enriched with contrasting colored applications. There…

Ermanno Scervino welcomed the audience and the guests in the frame of the Teulié Military School in Milan. Everyone was there, not for nothing it was one of the most awaited fashion shows of the day, and even the mayor of Florence Matteo Renzi has come to support his fashion designer friend. For the Spring Summer 2013 collection, Ermanno Scervino presented a “boho-chic woman”, a lover of sartorial details such as floral embroidery macrame, arabesque motifs and fine networks from which you can see the skin, turning each step in a sensual dance. Bright colors light up the face, it’s…
