People & trends mfw ss’16

People & trends mfw ss’16 while the best of the fashion system has already landed in Paris. Because we all know that Paris is always a good idea and we do not even have time to say goodbye to Armani, we begun to tremble for the French allure that will take us to the golden light of Place Vendome and the majesty of the Grand Palais.

There we will meet Karl, for sure.

People & trends mfw ss’16, where are we?

It was over discussed of course and we will continue to speak about it for at least a few weeks.

#mfw and #mfwss16 hashtags are still in the first positions of trend chart and it will take time before disposing of all the “snaps” that even the very nationalist Italian duo has encouraged to do.

Italia is love is the title of Dolce&Gabbana collection and it is the good feeling that closes this edition of the Milan Fashion Week which saw the Camera della Moda move from Piazza dei Mercanti to Piazza Lina Bo Bardi – the new cultural \ social hub of the city – with the vertical forest on one side, the  Gae Aulenti Piazza on the other and that metropolitan taste that made me memorize the expression of a man on the street, with a clear Sicilian accent: “I’m in the Manhattan of the North of Italy”.

They seem almost gone the times when the Imternational press called us old and too rooted in the past, looking with disdain to dust off that vintage feeling modeled on Seventies.

Almost past even the phase of too sexy, too naked woman that led the very British journalist par excellence to condemn the influence of Berlusconi’s bunga – bunga  on the catwalk. It is not a compliment it is clear. It was the Suzy (Menkes) to find an Italian more fresh, light and gentle way of thinking Fashion and wondering if much of the credit is for “a Pope who travels in 500L and a prime minister who has just turned 40?!?

But who do we get in the top 3 among People & trends mfw ss’16?

And so in this re-found love for Italy, we have been also helped by Milan, a city that apart from the overall tilt of the first day of rain,  taxis black out and euphoria from the first day of school, has been able to keep up with us . At all. But it’s also has shown the world that the Italian savoir – faire still exists and is more attractive than ever. The first of this new, delicious and tender as ever geographic map of change will undoubtedly Alessandro De Michele.

The latest Gucci collection is a riot of eclectic romance and bohemian attitude, Chinoiserie flavored by profoundly vintage genes of the brand, capable of transporting the viewer on a journey without walls and boundaries. A carpet decorated with snakes – charmers?!? – black roses and the absence of walls of the catwalk take us on a modern Orient Express, including details typical of the fashion house, light shirts and tender flakes and flowers.

The cards of tenderness and a new concept of beauty have inspired Alessandro for his creations that seem ready to be photographed in editorials across the world.

In second place the Dolce & Gabbana’s tourists of course. Italy is love and who knows how many selfie made from Portofino to Rome, passing from Sanremo, Capri, Amalfi and their Sicily. And once again the duo conquers us with the beauty of our Country that is able to transform into shimmering embroideries o lace, silk suits and black dresses.

In the third place, the last but not least the only expression of the feminine sweetness designed by a woman, Anna Molinari for Blumarine. In the era of globalization there is room for all, and for all of the trends. And why should you choose between the ultra bright light tulle nor the heavy canvas?

She proposes lines, such as those of a sun umbrella in the Amalfi Coast in the ’50s, and flowers. Her flowers, those that have accompanied for years and  that she doesn’t want to abandon. And besides that, why should she do it???
