Off-White Catwalk Fashion Show Paris FW2019

Like with his last collection this Off-White collection was a bit more dressed up. Streetwear with a chic, lady like touch. Tailored belted coats, sculptural asymmetrical suits (shapes inspired by twisted car-crash sculptures), heavy leather jackets (one is shiny silver), a motor sport inspired puffer, a giant silver colored puffer (@itsmaymemes come to reality). A navy colored tuxedo with a shiny silky right have looked extra sharp. Loose bleached denim pants here as well. And all that yellow and green felt very Spring-y. The checked pattern was a reference to the crash derby race car culture, a play on the checkered flag. The finale of floor sweeping gowns added some drama to the collection. Yet no matter the chic-er take on his line these dresses still looked a little too casual for the red carpet. But who knows, some statement making it-girl (and Virgil is friends with a lot of them) might rock one of these looks at the Met Gala.

Recap Milan Fashion Week FW2019

We might have moved on from gelati to croissants, but before we start reviewing what the French have in stores for us, let’s recap what it was all about in the Italian fashion capital. As it turns out fashion was vibrant, colorful with just about everything in exuberance. From sturdy and boxy to airy, fluid and elegant. FW2019 won’t be the season for minimalists. Instead: better start practicing your dress-up game. With bright colored patent coats, wide legged trousers and fantasy hats. With big bows, high collars, busy prints, lots of layering, chunky shoes and statement jewelry (not to mention the out of this world metal pieces shown at Gucci) upcoming fall/winter almost feels a little costume-y. Yet as always with fashion shows; they’re grand gestures to any trend you want to try out in your daily life in a more subtle way. Are you ready to get inspired by the Italians? Here are the biggest trends from Milanooo.

PLAIDS
Plaids (Donatella even managed to combine bondage and plaids for Versace)

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

BIG BOWS
Remember the Victorian collars from NYFW? The Italians opted for big bows.

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

PLEATED SKIRTS
Pleated skirts (turquoise colored and shiny patent as seen at Fendi, please)

• 

• 

• 

POLKA DOT
As classic as the polka dot is, Marni and Alberta Ferretti showed a different take on the print.

• 

• 

• 

CAPE IT
They have something fairytale-y about them (especially the ones shown at Dolce & Gabbana and Prada). Look extra sophisticated in a cape or cloak. Sophisticaped!

Dries van Noten Catwalk Fashion Show Paris FW2019

Dries Van Noten started off rather somber today. The first series of looks that appeared on the concrete runway at Palais de Tokyo were grey colored and pinstriped. Yet with looks the designer changed things up a bit and when we arrived at look #9 the office ready dresscode had made way for cocktail chic when Hannah Motler came on wearing a lilac satin dress with floral embroideries and chunky boots. Those flowers, as it turned out, were inspired by flowers growing in Dries van Noten’s own actual garden. He and his team had been doing some gardening as a video at the end of the show showed us. And so those flowers weren’t picture perfect but had imperfections too. From lilac we slowly moved on to other pastel shades, like ice blue, mint green, powdery pink and light yellow. Shades that worked beautifully (Dries is a master in creating the most gorgeous palettes) with the much more vibrant orange and purple. When mustard and brown shades were introduced all looks had a strong fall sense about them. Dresses were extremely loose fitting and had high necks. A trench and some satin robe inspired coats were cinched at the waist but other than that the silhouette for fw2019 was loose, fluid and roomy. There were enormous floral printed puffers to survive the strongest of winters. As some sheer looks, like an icy blue number with red leave embroidered added to the festive and elegant part of the collection. A finale of partly sparkling dresses (worn with golden gloves and silver boots) and a few tuxedo suits completed the fw picture. Puffer scarf under your right arm and your good to go.

Saint Laurent Catwalk Fashion Show Paris FW2019

There was a first and a second half to the Saint Laurent show. One in daylight, one neon/glow in the dark. The first half spoke of all the signature Saint Laurent ingredients; ultra short dresses, strong (this time XX strong) shoulders, bodices and tuxedo jackets. Most looks came in grey or black, there were just touches of red, leopard print and polke dot tights to top it off. Velvet, leather, silk and fur in the mix. Anthony Vaccarello knows what the Saint Laurent customer wants and how to spice things up every season, the strong shouldered coats being his main upgrade for fw2019. As far as the neon part of the show’s concerned; this was more of a fun and colourful pop parade to watch. We could hardly see the looks let alone the models wearing them. Can’t say we wouldn’t like a night out in an off shoulder fur striped neon dress though..

Christian Dior Catwalk Fashion Show Paris FW2019

“Sisterhood is Global” read the T-shirt of the first fw2019 look. The title of a book by Robin Morgan, the American second-wave feminist activist and author, who happened to be in the audience attending the show. And it was already clear we were in for another feminism themed show by Maria Grazia Chiuri. The rest of the fw story spoke of elegant strapless dresses, perfect blazers (like we’ve seen in previous collections) and delicate waist belts. New was the tartan theme that had black/white, black/red and black/green checks all throughout the collection. Nothing says feminism like a pair of quilted pants and a bad ass heavy leather jacket. Also new: the boxy blazers and the rain hats. A perfect contrast with the long, delicate, tulle dresses with embroidered 3D florals. There were no more slogan Tees in the rest of the collection and Chiuri also slowed down on the logomania part. But there was enough signature Dior to wishlist for the next season.

Dolce & Gabbana Catwalk Fashion Show Milan FW2019

No less than 127 looks filled up the Dolce & Gabbana runway today. Together they formed the fw2019 collection “Eleganza” which was divided into several signature Dolce themes. Like leopard print, brocade and tailored clothing. There was even a bridal section. And like any other Dolce & Gabbana collection everything was kind of over the top. Most looks even had a royal touch to them. And as headpieces and jewellery were statement making the “more is more” dresscode certainly prevailed. As far as trends concerned Domenico and Stefano are also moving towards tailored classics more instead of the sportswear trend we’ve seen for seasons now. Molto Eleganza!

Missoni Catwalk Fashion Show Milan FW2019

Most labels are focusing on their roots and heritage these days and today’s Missoni show was no exception. The knitwear brand once and for all proved what their most famous for (which is creating outstanding knitwear pieces), by producing a collection in which every single piece was knit. From the suits, the dresses, the cardigans and the polo shirts to the coats and the pants. Yes even the hats and the waist bands. The collection had a rather nomadic feel, hence the striped ponchos. Head wraps for the girls, Fes hats for the guys. Lots of color, lot of comfort. And who wouldn’t want to cosy up in layers of Missoni?

Roberto Cavalli Catwalk Fashion Show Milan FW2019

They were meant to resemble animal prints, yet the show’s opening look (and many more to come) looked more like a kaleidoscopic pattern. Paul Surridge alternated those printed looks with bold colored pieces like a structured yellow dress, a turquoise colored suit (menswear) and a deep pink pleated skirt. Pants were high waisted, skirts and dresses had a midi length. And the prints slowly turned from bright colored and kaleidoscopic to earthy toned and sequined. As far as the menswear part of the collection was concerned things were smooth and perfectly tailored. On the womenswear part the collection lacked a bit of Cavalli’s seductive signature. The looks didn’t necessarily breath the Cavalli sex appeal (although Bella looked stunning in a body tight all black look, yet his could have been a look from any given designer). Surridge has been with the label for almost two years now, yet we’re not sure what direction he’s going with Cavalli just yet.
