I wish Milan fashion week was longer, stretched over days and even months because following it was like opening a box of treats every day – you never knew what to expect and there was always something special to enjoy.
I was lucky to watch some of the live streams and incredibly grateful to be given such an opportunity. It’s a shame that Bottega Veneta was all very much a private affair because I would love to see it in motion rather than stills that, as beautiful as they were, didn’t move me enough to talk about them much longer.
And so before we travel to the Holy Grail of fashion I want to share some of my favourite looks from the catwalks of Milan. My choice is based mainly on the gut feeling and my desire to own and wear the clothes.
Dolce & Gabbana show was as Italian as it could possibly be: the theatrical setting, the music and, of course, the clothes created for a woman who knows how beautiful she is. It was also wonderful to see how Domenico and Stefano remain so true to their philosophy and style and yet manage to play with the silhouettes, mood and fabrics in a way that’s so exciting.
I love love love this Emilio Pucci dress! It looks like a second skin that makes you look like you just walked through the moonlight. Absolutely mesmerising.
The last Jil Sander by Raf Simmons collection was a midsummer dream, so ethereal and delicate like a dance of petals in the wind. It reminded me of something designed by Yves Saint for Dior and I secretly hope that this is where Simmons will be heading…
Finally there is Sportmax. In one word: LOVE. This is a kind of sporty and slightly edgy elegance that I crave and adore and would wear day in and day out if only I had a chance to.
