Highlights from yesterday’s shows in Milan: Southwest boho, candy-colored fluidity and sophisticated sex appeal were the primary themes at three family-helmed Italian houses yesterday (Etro, Missoni and Versace, respectively).
The ’70s continue to dominate at Etro, where easy, flowing looks were splashed with Native American-inspired prints and the brand’s signature paisley pattern, often simultaneously.
Natural makeup and center-parted hair added laissez-faire attitude, while tactile trim—from embroidery to beading to fringe—provided a luxe finish to most everything.
At Missoni, signature knits felt as light and airy as cotton candy and came in shades to match. This oversized trench in a fruit-striped print was especially tantalizing.
Layering all those featherweight pieces added a bit of edge to the presentation, and creative director Angela Missoni has discovered a new way to tie your sweater when you’re not wearing it (hint: it’s not around your shoulders or your waist).
If there is one thing Versace is known for, it’s bringing sexy back, season after season. Donatella delivered again, only this time peekaboo cutouts and see-through mesh added the va-va-voom to modern, structured garments. Exploded signature motifs, like the giant Greek key above, were a clever, updated way to leverage brand recognition without sacrificing exceptional design.
This layered look is a study in how to balance opposing ideas: tough and sweet, sexy and demure, modern and classic. Pretty impressive.
Clean silhouettes received the Versace touch with details like cheeky grommets and eye-popping prints (note this one also includes an blown-up version of the brand’s Medusa head logo).
