Giorgio Armani Catwalk Fashion Show ss2010
Giorgio Armani is at his best when times are rough. He just does where he’s good at: making good suits with that typical Armani twist. Graphic patterns in black and white, a relaxed mix of formal and informal, neutral colors, twotone shoes and snakeskin sneakers. When the company is going bankrupt, at least you can leave in style.
Burberry Catwalk Fashion Show ss2010
The Burberryshow was about ‘british town and country under British rain and sun’ according to the press release. That means lightweight trenches in waxed cotton, tissue weight nylon, paper leather and cashmere knits. The colors represented the weatherconditions: muddy, taupe and grey for a rainy day, bottle green, pastel hyacinth and pastel powder blue for those hazy summerdays. Bag of the season – as seen in other collections – is a canvas utility bag trimmed with leather. The collection was ok, but not as upbeat and cool as it used to be. And we’re desperately in need for surprising and daring clothes!
Jil Sander Catwalk Fashion Show 2010
Thanks to a very kind PR-assistant at the door we made it into Jil Sander last minute. It was – as always – worth trying. Very plain, very sober and very white! White shirts at navy trousers dominated the collection and Raf Simons just added a small silver outline to shirts or cut the frontparts of jackets different which gave the models – together with their bowlcut hair – a neat and nerdy look. The portraits by Japanese artist Foujita gave it a more arty edge.
Costume National Catwalk Fashion Show ss2010
The Costume National Homme collection was about travellers and curious adventurers. According to us it was more about new wave, eighties and small suits for older boys. Lots of white, black and grey with a hint of green, a small silhouet and ankleboots.
Zegna Catwalk Fashion Show ss2010
Ermenegildo Zegna represented the feeling that was all over the Pitti Uomo: a need for new, different business-suits. Less formal and strict, more casual and colorful. The label managed to fill that need for a large part.
