Feathers and nostalgia add glam to Prada spring collection
September 22, 2016 By
By Giulia Segreti MILAN (Reuters) – Retro trenchcoats, feathered cuffs and brightly colored patterns hinting at the 1960s and 70s were among the highlights of Prada's spring/summer women's wear collection in Milan on Thursday. Last month it predicted a return to sales and profit growth next year, helped by improved sales trends in China, and there was plenty of variety in veteran designer Miuccia Prada's collection. Prada has said it is now trying to turn itself around by putting out more accessible products and slimming down its extensive retail network.

Patchworks and denim in Cavalli’s Milan show journey
September 22, 2016 By
By Giulia Segreti MILAN (Reuters) – Roberto Cavalli took guests at his catwalk show on a long journey around the globe, wrapping his models in bright textiles and patchworks from different countries and showcasing hippy-meets-native-American in his spring/summer 2017 collection. Past a lantern-studded courtyard, in a sixteenth century palazzo in the heart of Milan, models perched on high wedged heels were draped in shawls, stoles, vests, ponchos and multi-colored fabrics. Gipsy layered dresses alternated with flared trousers, suede fringed coats and kimonos made spectators travel around the world in just a few minutes, on Wednesday night, at the end of Milan's first day of its fashion week.

Out of fashion: how men could fall off the catwalk
June 19, 2016 By
Menswear shows, traditionally held months before the women hit the runways later in the year, are being slowly airbrushed from the fashion industry's calendar and folded into the women's events, almost as an accessory. In Milan, where male models are strutting their stuff in shows that began on Friday for men's fashion week, 10 designers have decided not to showcase their collections this year including Calvin Klein, Ermenegildo Zegna and Kering's Brioni and Bottega Veneta. Other brands, including Burberry, Gucci and Tom Ford, have announced in recent months that they plan to stage combined events in future.
