INDIGITAL
Etro’s collection is for a woman who loves a tropical atmosphere, it was based on Hawaiian beaches but at the same time with Japanese Zen, flowers, intense colours and spirit of the rising sun. The wardrobe of the beach with dresses to be worn on said beach. The collection living up to its name of ‘Pacific Zen”, the imaginary journey leaves from California and goes across the islands of the Pacific and then arrives at Japan. The floral prints of Japanese kimonos accompanied the Hawaiian shirts but there were also patchwork denim jackets and mini-dresses. An essential in any globetrotter’s wardrobe is a macramé dress, embroidered cotton suits, caftans and dresses.
INDIGITAL
Marco de Vincenzo’s collection was sweet but not as sophisticated as previously seen. Sicilian clichés and retro underpinnings were dominating the collection through black lace, giant cross necklaces, black knee-length hosiery but on the slip side American influences were evident with big polo shirts, bags worn as fanny packs, denim jackets and skirts seamed with multi-coloured crystals. Sweatshirts, work wears had slogans including toy dogs and lambs, which were a repeated pattern on shirt-dresses in blurred pastels with, ruffled sleeves.

VERSACE
- Donatella Versace brought modernization to her brands heritage for her spring collection. The heritage of the brand had a retouch with more upbeat clothing in a range of colours and patterns. A dash of Nineties with mixed striped and checks , dotted and floral were twisted and turned around the body. Donatella dabbled with the sneaker trend having Bella Hadid in a tight, lime-green leather cocktail dress and just clunky sneakers. There wasn't a sweatshirt in sight showing that she doesn’t want to jump on the sport/street trend.
PHILIP PLEIN

Philip Plein brought a show to remember with performances
from Chris Brown, rapper 6ix9ine and cast of Cirque le Soir, and that’s a combo
no one thought could work. Plein next year will be celebrating 20 years of his
brand and his spring show paid tribute to Michael Jackson as he warmed up for
the milestone event next year. For his woman’s collection the mirrored catwalk
had performers leaping around while the models strutted in black bondage,
biker and rock n’ roll gear. Straps, belts, buckles and chunky sliver hard-wear
covering each garment bringing a Hells Angel vibe. Winnie Harlow once again
opening a show this fashion month wearing a pair of thigh-high, sliver embellished
buckle boots and that started the theme for the collection. Dresses were short
with a touch of camo was nipped in at the waist with a long sparkly Plein branding
on the back.
ROBERTO CAVALLI
-
Cavalli’s spring collection was heavily dominated by embellished biker shorts, some of the best looks featured the garment. Ruffled tunic tops cut out just above the hip over the short shorts and glamour trainers. The line-up was all about tight, stretchy shorts. The colurs reflecting a desert palette with vague tribal prints. Hemlines were short but we still saw log shirts and tailored jackets.
