December 22: Alessandro Dell’Acqua had a busy and fruity year- he made his own label, N.21, the tt-label of every Milan women, and re-invented Rochas, the old couture brand from Paris. He brought chic, beautiful embellishments and fresh silhouettes to the house, creating a wardrobe for lady-like, bold characters. Rochas is not only a go-to for New Year Eve, but for every other event.
December 3: Miuccia Prada owned the AW14 season at Prada with her melancholic collection kept in tune of Barbara Sukova’s orchestra and 70’s nostalgia vibe.
On Wednesday, at 7 in the evening, the Gucci party at Warsaw’s Vitkac started. In this calm, black building, which holds brands like Celine, Saint Laurent or Louis Vuitton, the craftsmen from Tuscany were invited to host a very special event- personalising the Gucci leather products (bags and accessories were welcomed). In a traditional, Italian way, guest’s bags had their initials written on with the iconic gold font, while others could drift away in a huge selection of beautiful clothes and shoes for the fall season. The Bamboo shopper, Jackie clutch and Soho bag were all present. The crowdy, but chic atmosphere was fulfilled with Poland’s hot names: Joanna Horodynska and Justyna Steczkowska, which were both very nice and warm. Everything felt simply perfect, with that luxurious, Italian precision. Thank you Vitkac and Gucci for inviting me and Lena for this fantastic event! Here are some of my photos I took on the party.
Marni celbrates its 20th Anniversary! From this occasion, they opened a Marni Flower Market, which brings the most Marni-ish thing on Earth- florals. For this special season, Marni showed a clean, but bold collection featuring delicate, white tunics, yellow leather suits, flower-power printed gowns, white kimonos with obi belts… it was a chaotic harmony, this time at Marni. Many pieces were statement, and the looks can be easily mixed with last season pieces… while Marni played contrasts, the Milan fashion week comes up to an end…
As the SS15 shows go on, we’ve already got our first shoe favourites- this time, it goes to Prada, which brings leather patchworks on her massive clogs, high heeled stompers and granny-like pointy nosed pumps. All worn with a bold coloured socks, these shoes feel like the thing for the next season: 70’s. We are still discussing if they are comfortable… but surely they are real works of art.
