PRADA

INDIGITAL
Prada’s Spring/Summer collection was typical yet atypical for Prada, the logos, swimwear and sock shoes was unfamiliar territory for them, it was seen as trend surfing. Eastern motifs, tie-dyes, chainlike graphics: the prints were fabulous, they were very different from what we usually see at Prada. Prada repeating silhouettes with tough-chic of high-neck satin shirts and trouser shorts and short trapeze dresses, with fabulous coats. Sheer dresses wafted over discreet briefs, A-line skirts side-wrapped and sweaters cut off at the throat.

MOSCHINO

INDIGITAL
Jeremy Scott’s collection was full of mega-merchandised with clothes, shoes, bags and jewellery galore. White dresses and suits scribbled in and mocked up with colour and prints like two-dimensional drawings on a piece of paper. Silhouettes were on the eighties side with prim suits and riche poufs, some tied with a bow all worn with hats and tights embroidered with fancy black scribbles. Silhouettes followed a line of classic couture and the show ended with Gigi Hadid as a bride taking it into haute couture territory.

EMPORIO ARMANI 

INDIGITAL
Emporio Armani’s collection focused on slouchy silhouettes and textured, floaty fabrics. Crinkles galore in forms of linen skirts and papery cotton fabrics that Armani used for trench-coats, high-waisted trousers and tailored jackets in beige and soft neutrals. There was plenty of colours in forms of green suits, bright pink ankle-length anorak and dark blue tones on skirts and cocktail dresses and there was even an element of glitz in the form of sequin pants.

TODS

INDIGITAL
Tods brought Italian attitude to Milan for their spring/summer show with Gigi Hadid kicking it odd in white shorts under a three-quarter jacket made of thin strips from snake to suede in a colour palette that ranged from orange to sand to black all accessorised with a crocodile totes. The collection was full of sunshine-ready clothing which had certain elements of realism due to the soaring September weather in Milan. Brand motifs were repeated through the show from totes to stand out, dark chocolate leather trench with zipped-up details, tied around the waist showing the brands double T logo. Leather pants were cut slim and cropped at the ankle with most of the shoes flat, accessorised with sprays of tassel's.

SPORTSMAX

Sportmax brought a surf theme collection with a hint of glamour. Tailored pieces opened the show, including suits with shorts, a long sleeveless blazer worn with a dress and a skirt worn with a bikini as well as a jacket over a one-piece swimsuit. Jersey tops and shorts splashed with brand motifs where dresses were cinched to the waist with drawstrings. The surf aesthetic was influenced on the evening designs including sequin slip dresses worn under scuba hoodies and maxi dresses.
