Gucci votes ‘remain’: Italian house celebrates UK with anglo-themed cruise collection

Both Christian Dior and Gucci chose English locations for their resort 2017 shows this week — with the later taking over London's Westminster Abbey on Thursday evening in a historical fashion first. Creative Director Alessandro Michele went all-out ‘rule Britannia' on the collection, which ticked all the nationalistic style boxes, sweeping from dreamy printed floral silks to tartan kilts and Union Jack bomber jackets. Michele was thorough in his sartorial homage to the nation — the collection drew inspiration from the country's punk era as much as it did its Gothic Victorian heritage, its penchant for clompy Nineties boots and elegant garden party dresses — “When I think about London I think about gardens, beautiful gardens filled with flowers,” he says.

Chloé draws on dance and plays with contrasts for fall 2016 collection

After unveiling its “Sun 2016” collection for the summer season, luxury brand Chloé has lifted the lid on the inspirations and key pieces in store for its autumn wardrobe, with a series of looks inspired by dance and contrasts. Rather than drawing directly on dance, it's the sporty, athletic side of the art and its physical practice that have inspired Cholé's fall collection, which features a series of loose, flowing looks. Although evidently autumnal, the collection's silhouettes evolve to follow the different stages of a dancer's regime, from studio warm-ups to onstage performances.

Versus Versace reveals an urban, military inspired collection for autumn/winter 2016

Anthony Vaccarello, creative director of Versace's sister line, added a rebellious touch to the collection's urban vibe for autumn/winter 2016. While keeping the codes of the Versus line, this new collection brings a gritty, even rebellious edge to the label's autumn/winter looks, in a range of urban, sporty, sometimes boyish ensembles. It's this toughness that we capture in the new Versus Versace collection — the individual attitude of the new generation,” explains Donatella Versace.

Milan Fashion Week: Fendi brings springtime colors, fur and frills to the autumn/winter catwalk

As usual, elegance and fur were firmly on the agenda, but Karl Lagerfeld and Silvia Venturini Fendi brought a cool, funky vibe and a fresh feel to this season's collection. The show's funky undertone was felt even before the first models took to the catwalk, as two eye-catching guests — Piro-chan and Bug-kun — were attracting attention on the front row. The tone of the collection was set from the very first catwalk look, showcasing the season's main inspirations right from the outset in one ensemble.

Milan kicks off fashion week in confident mood

Milan fashion week kicked off on a colourful note on Wednesday as Blugirl designer Anna Molinari extended the hedonistic feel of her spring collection into her outfits for next fall and winter. Three-quarter length raincoats came in floral and other vibrant prints while the collection for the younger sister to Molinari's Blumarine brand was also dotted with bright Nordic-inspired knitwear. Molinari declared last year that it was time for Italian fashion to loosen up a little and have some fun after years of gloom created by a triple-dip recession and a sense that Milan was losing its edge creatively and in terms of its rivalry with Paris and fast-rising London and New York.

Tommy Hilfiger transformed the New York catwalk into an ocean liner Monday, opening and closing his trans-Atlantic, voyage-inspired collection with model of the moment Gigi Hadid as snow fell outside. “Years back, in the '20s, the '30s, when the people would travel trans-Atlantic they would get dressed properly,” Hilfiger told AFP in a sneak preview of the collection ahead of the show. The models wearing his fall/winter 2016 collection strode the deck of the ocean liner, which pumped steam into the air through giant funnels against a night sky backdrop glittering stars.

Schiaparelli‬ lays out a feast and Dice Kayek weaves a pretty tale at Haute Couture week

The couture house of ‪Schiaparelli‬ knows how to tickle the senses, and its Spring 2015 runway show on Monday went so far as involving the tastebuds. There were a handful of boxy jackets and knee-length skirts on show, but the majority of the collection was dominated by full-length, diaphanous dresses that were both ethereal — thanks to their hazy finish and skimming structure — and modern, thanks to the tongue-in-cheek food references that littered the designs and nodded to the motifs that Elsa Schiaparelli was known for in the 1930s, such as the Lobster dress created with Surrealist artist Salvador Dali.
