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 100^th 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.

In addition to SKIMS’s signature curve-hugging bodysuits and shapewear, the collection includes apparel, swimwear, lingerie, hosiery and even puffer jackets. Designed in different nuances –– nude, purple, black and white – the capsule features a new custom monogram SKIMS x FENDI print. All products are largely minimalist and monochromatic and of course stick perfectly to the silhouette.

“FENDI and SKIMS have a cultural power very different from each other, but equally as strong. We share a desire to push boundaries and challenge convention which is how we found so much common ground collaborating” shared Kim Kardashian about the new collaboration.

The idea for the partnership came to Fendi when Kim Jones, the creative director of womenswear at the fashion house, when he overheard the women in his offices talking about SKIMS. The designer met Kim Kardashian in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in March to work on the project and finalise it.

The most hyped look of the collection was Kim’s dress posted by Fendi – a sleeveless leather dress with a small, draped detail around the bust. This comes in a gradient flesh tone ranging from light to dark.

“From active wear and beachwear to elevated essentials and coordinating accessories, the FENDI x SKIMS capsule collection reflects the eclectic tastes and lifestyle of today’s daring and dynamic women” shared Fendi last night.

Here are some more photos of the collection:

There might have been imminent challenges in the delivery of fashion weeks but their accompanying ad campaigns continued to amaze us without a doubt nor difficulty.

From Pradas presentation of Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons creative direction, Versace’s colorful summer heath and extensive model casting, to Dior’s appreciation of Baroque-style, here are our favourite SS21 ad-campaigns to keep track of.

Prada

A campaign characterised by the lack of ‘a photographer’… Bizarre yet innovative.
This was Prada’s take for their Spring Summer 202 ad portfolio, a change from the usual marquee photographer and a transition to point out the performance of technology in this ever-changing industry. A particular decision which presented a 360-degree view of the models wearing the collection, but not just any collection, one that takes the form of a conversation… The Spring Summer 2021 is presented as an open dialogue between the brand and us, the viewers, who are welcome to answer a series of questions about our beliefs and perspective on the world directly on the Prada, website which might form part of the campaign itself. We’ve always referred to fashion as a means to expression and this time, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons co-creative direction perfectly captured the essence of this.

Versace

Versace’s latest campaign presented a world of their own, one capturing their runway show of September under the name of Versacepolis. Versacepolis is beautiful in its own merit but what makes it special are its muses, the “modern Medusas” as explained by the Italian fashion label, that wear the collection characterised by lingerie structures and a bright colour palette. Muses that include Precious lee, Hailey Bieber, and Kenall Jenner amongst many others, that with wet-styled hair, water inspired designs embody spring-summer at its best.

Dior

Dior seems to have gotten over the minimalist ad campaign, even if we have to admit that we had a soft spot for them, now it’s all about extravagance but in the classiest of ways. Dior’s latest campaign concentrates on Baroqueism, recreating the beauty of the 16th century with impressive shots taken by photographer Elen Kechicheva. Maria Grazia Chiuri presents us with inspiration taken from Tarot cards through this campaign that combines romanticism and drama through compositions that contrasts from the monotony of past minimalism.

Fendi

Fendi’s SS21 campaign presented elegance through the idea of relaxation and nonchalance, mirroring the role and use of fashion in our current lives. A campaign with a soft colour palette and a few saturated touches with reds and blues, as seen on iconic dresses and accessories perfect for the upcoming season. The images were shot by photographer Nick Knight in his London studio but evidently reference Rome and the origins of the brand. This is noticeable through the background inclusion of the Square Colosseum, Fendi’s Rome headquarters, a detail that only few will recognise but if they do they will appreciate even more every aspect of this campaign and the complexity of its composition.

Yesterday Fendi had bought a much-needed smile to our faces, with releasing its sartorially otherworldly SS21 show for Haute Couture week. The collection was the debut of new creative director for couture and womenswear; Kim Jones, who was heavily inspired by Virginia Woolf’s novel of British romance; Orlando, as well as the Baroque sculptures of Italian artist Bernini that would be admired in the Borghese gallery.

The contemporary set up of the runway can be described as geometric groups of reflective glass panelling that forms a glass maze for the models to walk through, with each glass unit housing a decoration that pays homage to the literary works of Bloomsbury or marble flooring reminiscent of Italian classicism.

One of the focal points from the show is none other than the stellar line up of models from both the 1990’s supermodel generation with the likes of Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss and Christy Turlington, as well as the modern-day poster girls such as Bella Hadid, Adwoa Aboah and Cara Delevigne.

As we were greeted with the familiar faces of fashion, we were equally greeted with the stunning creations of Jones; iridescent organza dresses that draped to the floor, embellished beaded gowns that had trains worthy of royalty, and tailored printed velvet suits that merged the classical beauty of English botany and contemporary marble.

Additionally, the hair and makeup made a statement of its own with hair director Sam Mcknight creating wet and wavy hairstyles inspired by Venetian mermaid hair that glistened under the show lights. To complement this, Fendi’s jewellery director Delfina Delettrez Fendi had created beautiful ceramic swirls that sat elegantly on the models’ hair in a range of colours, alongside abstract earrings made of Murano glass that fell to the shoulders.

Elsewhere in the show, we saw inclusivity and a paid homage to gender fluidity by Kim jones, as tailored menswear outfits and models were included in the line up under the work of Fendi’s own creative director for menswear Silvia Venturini Fendi, which even featured dramatic red lip make up look on the men as envisioned by the head of makeup, Peter Phillips.

Fendi represented one of the few brands that had opted to reveal its Fall Winter 2021 collection with a runway show including an audience but due to the further implementations of Covid-19 measures in Milan wasn’t able to do so. Nevertheless, the label decided to carry on its show without an audience, in the form of a video and through the modern vision of Silvia Venturini Fendi, which resulted as an innovative success.

The high-speed menswear fashion show that was characterised by its retro-futuristic outlook and fashionably pragmatic looks demonstrated the re-invention of the current fashion landscape. Fendi redefined winter fashion with looks that highly concentrated on the brand’s authenticity but with a shift towards comfort alongside our post-pandemic reality.

The classicism of the brand was incorporated into staple pieces such as puffer jackets and shearling coats which were accompanied by functional garments such as neutral-toned pyjamas and footwear. A curious detail of the collection, that undoubtedly represents Silvia Venturini Fendi’s vision of fashion versatility, being able to take an indoor look outdoors without losing the sense of style and exclusivity given by each individual piece.

It could be said that this was one of our favourite aspects of the show. Instead of focusing on what could’ve been and mourning the fashion elements that solely focused on our public sphere the Italian fashion house highlighted the importance of moving forwards. It encompassed the evolving trend of lounge-ready clothing and made staples out of the originality of a ‘new normal’.

Some of the most show-stopping looks included playful artwork that purposefully upgraded from the traditional logo approach. An example being the cursive Fendi lettering from the collaboration with Noel Fielding of ​look 23 ​or the multicoloured pattern of ​look 25​. As explained by the designer herself to Vogue this reflected the increasing stylistic individuality we are witnessing :

“To avoid that fashionista attitude, I like to consider menswear through many different men who keep their personality… I think in the future, fashion is going to be more individualistic, and I wanted to keep that idea in the show.”

The success of the show wasn’t only due to this new outlook on menswear but also to its presentation. The show’s concept and video which was created by Nico Vascellari was everything but common. It attracted us from its inception, the vocal narration of Silvia Venturini Fendi gave it a personal touch that could often be missed due to the lack of human presence in the audience, and the electronic soundtrack by Not Waving perfectly complemented the futuristic style of the collection. The scenery that was defined by optimism and optical illusion was also a fresh aspect, however, at times the complexity of this visual concept and matching colourway distracted us from the looks themselves.
