Dolce & Gabbana mixes tropics with traditions at Milan fashion show

By Giulia Segreti MILAN (Reuters) – Italian fashion brand Dolce & Gabbana transported guests to a warm and busy Italian street setting for their spring/summer 17 catwalk show on Sunday, in one of the most flamboyant displays of Milan fashion week. A big red “Tropico Italiano” sign hanging from the ceiling, banana trees, coconuts and white sand contrasted the ambience of an Italian village festival as soon as lights went off and young street dancers hit the catwalk, moving to the beat of tarantella folk music. The loud and bright collection by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, known for their rich and embellished looks, carried all the typical elements of their style throughout the years, in a jubilation of gold, laces, embroidery, sequins, flowers, Madonnas, food, animal prints and lights.

Subtle seduction in Giorgio Armani’s Charmani collection in Milan

By Giulia Segreti MILAN (Reuters) – A woman's allure is a matter of small and subtle details for Giorgio Armani in his spring/summer 2017 “Charmani” collection presented on Friday during Milan Fashion week.    Appearing charming and sophisticated, she attracts attention with short skirts and veils that do not reveal too much, with knitted elements and fringe-like decorations on her garments. True to his style, Armani, who celebrated four decades in fashion last year, kept his designs clean cut, rigorous and elegant. The palette used by Armani, known in the fashion system as “King Giorgio”, is made up of hypnotic and intense blues and purples, at times deadened by beige, grey and red.

Feathers and nostalgia add glam to Prada spring collection

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.
