]]> If you somehow missed the electrifying buzz of Milan Fashion Week (seriously, where have you been??), don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Voir has put together a meticulous rundown of the most spectacular runway shows from the past week. From Diesel’s street artist-inspired catwalk to Fendi’s iconic 100th anniversary celebration and Moschino’s powerful statement, we’ve rounded up all the unforgettable moments for you to catch up on.

Gucci

Day 1 featured the one and only Gucci kicking off the fun. The runway was designed as two interlocked letter Gs possessing an intense and sinister vibe with a live orchestra playing and the music at a constant crescendo – what are they building to…perhaps the announcement of a new creative director? 

The collection itself was inspired by Guccio Gucci and had a very retro Italian aesthetic along with a 70s flair and a bit of the 50s sprinkled in with the dress shapes. The second look was one that stood out with a leather skirt dusting the knees, an oversized vest jacket with large buttons to match, purple heels and a headscarf to complete the look. Purple tights and lime green outfits popped throughout, adding depth to the looks with burnt orange also making an appearance. Horse bit necklaces and accessories were peppered throughout the show and of course fur was not forgotten, along with tweed, tweed, and more tweed. Gucci know the meaning of a classy woman that’s for sure.

Diesel

Oh my gosh, what a way to stand out. Diesel probably had the most unique set design when you look into the story behind it. It was created by a collective of over 7000 people across the world as Diesel sent miles and miles of fabric to art schools and street artists across the US, UK, China, South Africa and Europe to create the street art installation as Glenn Martin strove for freedom of expression. For the looks themselves they were fresh and crisp featuring icy silvers, crisp denim (obviously) with disrupted aspects, a lot of grey and black shades and apparently the crack is back. Bouclé and tweed coats featured here as well in a houndstooth pattern, fur trims featured on oversized bags with full fur options as well pairing perfectly with the denim. Everything was distressed and created a very raw feel.

Blumarine 

Under the new creative direction of David Koma, he showcased a simple yet effective colour palette. Kicking off with Irina Shayk, the audience was served dark romanticism – heavy on the black with a pop of devilish red and a dusting of white with floral patterns. Fluid lace tops and fitted black and white mesh dresses were seen throughout, with denim making a brief appearance, all finished off with silver embellishments and crystal appliqués.

Roberto Cavalli

Fausto Puglisi was inspired by Pompeii for this collection which included rich reds, matching the runway, and paired with leopard print trims. Lace and velvet were intertwined, and he didn’t hold back on the prints – especially florals, which are increasingly becoming more frequent on the runways. Hot lava prints were spilled over the dresses creating a fierce energy on the runway alongside roman motifs with a toga dress and gold leaf straps. Puglisi created a garden scene on the dresses as he dug into Italian garden imagery with pistachio and emerald greens.

Dolce & Gabbana 

The runway was kicked off with an army green ensemble paired with black lace and fur trims across the looks. D&G went heavy on the silver chain belts and black was featured a lot – in a sexy boudoir way, along with leather boots and leather coats with a variety of trims – furs, tassels, and jewel embellishments as well. Leopard print was featured once again this season as we have now confirmed it’s been promoted from micro-trend, and denim was not forgotten with double waisted jeans and jackets of course. Look 19 was a standout for Voir, the coat created a dramatic cloud-like effect with its fluffy white texture contrasting perfectly with the structured black boots. Accessories included alien sunglasses and fur bags were a hit, and as the show drew to a close, we were presented with going out styles – silver and jewels were a standout point along with lace and feathers.

Prada

The models opened the show in black dresses as they walked on an elevated runway adorned with a cream floral carpet. Accessible silhouettes and styles were at the forefront of the collection with designs most people can wear and have access to alongside Prada making a statement that tube dresses are on their way back. The whole show nodded towards subtle glamour featuring lots of shirts, oversized buttons, bows making a return, and prominent florals as seen in other Milan shows. Of course, furs weren’t forgotten as the go to coat for this autumn/winter.

Ferrari

Elegant, sleek, and expensive are three words that flawlessly capture Ferrari’s show. The runway was a Ferrari red, setting the scene for what’s to come – we received opulent furs matched with grey suits and red ties in line with the brand’s signature rosso colour. The audience saw a pop of yellow to match Ferrari’s logo paired with burnt orange shoes in a variety of styles, alongside a prominent forest green as the final colour seen on the logo. This was featured on fur trims, coats, and accessories. Ferrari’s innovative recycled Q-CYCLE material was used on the in the looks and the show ended with burgundy leathers, crinkled organza and lots and lots of tassels. 

Moschino 

Moschino presented us with the trend that is about to surge into our wardrobes – polka dots, featured on dresses, skirts, and jackets. Rigid silhouettes were balanced with bubble skirts, and light, flowy materials on dresses alongside numerous floral print garments. Unique denim designs walked the runway with oversized back pockets on the front and the highest of high waists paired with the classic Moschino belt of course. Alex Consani closed the show with a powerful wake-up call regarding environmental awareness as she carried trash bags representing the waste the industry emits and wearing a t-shirt dress picturing a globe with ‘SOS’ written beneath. She was preceded by two models wearing looks made from a material resembling bin bags, with one holding a globe, mirroring the start of the show where we saw imagery of unfinished garments with exposed stitching sending a message of fast fashion’s process.

Fendi

Fendi marked its 100th birthday with a luxurious collection. Sarah Jessica Parker was pictured front row with the Baguette Bag celebrating one of Fendi’s most historic moments of it being featured on SATC as Carrie’s go-to accessory making it a global sensation shortly after. 1920s flapper dresses nodded towards the house’s origins that decade along with lavish furs. Polished leathers were showcased in the form of full-length coats, skirts and unique co-ord with bubble silhouettes in burnt orange, white and black. Belts were heavily used throughout the show to accentuate the waist, plenty of trench-style coats were seen, and jewels were powdered throughout the collection.

For the fashionable inhabitants of the original Y2K era, Blumarine was a brand that elicited pure jubilant fun. The flirty florals and animal prints mixed in with colourful feathers and fur brought a vibrant look that teetered the line between daywear and clubwear, and everything joyful in between.

And now the glorious look of Blumarine is back, and stronger than ever. The brand’s use of colour and embellishment continues to be celebrated today with their famously fun styles — but it’s fitting for a brand that is so associated with their semi-official icon of the butterfly to break out beyond any cocoon. Today in 2021, the brand’s Creative Director Nicola Brognano has innovated the Blumarine look, by doing things such as placing fur in experimental places such as fuzzy blue hoop earrings and creating logo-fied blinged-out maxi belts — adding a modern perspective to the brand’s lush aesthetics.

The brand’s surge of popularity makes perfect sense. The adoration of Blumarine goes far and wide, much like many other icons of the Y2K era who are going through a current renaissance— from Victoria’s Secret and Juicy Couture amongst the labels refreshing their looks for the modern world.

And this time around, Blumarine has something else new fuelling its popularity — social media. The Blumarine look is downright booming with Gen Z on TikTok (with the hashtag #blumarine receiving 1.9 million views on the app), and the label’s recent runway looks have been spotted on Instagram on Kim Kardashian, Chiara Ferragni and Bella Hadid, who donned a yellow fur asymmetrical Blumarine top just days ago.

Just launched for 2022, the brand describes their latest collection as “New Romanticism – modern, sensual, mischievous” on their website. All of the looks marvellously capture the spirit of the brand, which they describe as “[having] many facets as the petals, and thorns, of a rose.” This spirit, mixed in with vibes of Y2K pop-star pastel slick shininess and adorned with furs and prints, creates a glowing new look that feels romantic and rebellious at the same time.
