Ending on a (Literal) High: Best of Milan Fashion Week Fall 2018
Drones flying Dolce & Gabbana’s designer purses down the runway over the weekend – all in a day’s worth at Milan Fashion Week over the weekend.
With its colourful parade of Jackie Kennedy clones in her iconic tweed skirt suit and pillbox hat (a la Moschino), models carrying their own identical head replicas (Gucci), Milan Fashion Week Fall 2018 certainly kicked off on a high note and left us giddy with anticipation.
And just when you thought it couldn’t get any more over-the-top than it did, Milan Fashion Week concluded its season’s collections on a literal high with Dolce & Gabbana swapping its models for drones that flew its designer purses down the runway – proving why the city continues to be an unapologetic game-changer in the fashion world.
Carrying off from the buzz surrounding their earlier shows, the weekend saw us delighting at the likes of Roberto Cavalli, Etro, Versace; Ferragamo, Giorgio Armani, Missoni, Jill Sander, Marni, Tommy Hilfiger and Dolce & Gabbana.
There was a nod to menswear everywhere with oversized blazers; bold prints and ostentatious colours (a refreshing departure from traditional muted fall colours); poncho-style coats; Peruvian influences, and more.
And if the arresting slew of designs weren’t reasons enough to fall in love with, Milan also wins major points in our books for its continued efforts towards diversity. Yes, despite the controversial turbans we saw during Gucci’s show, we applaud the ethnic representation on the runway – and not just as a ‘token minority model’ either. Prada, for one, had its first ever black model open its show in over 20 years since Naomi Campbell in 1997.
