The news of Karl Lagerfeld‘s death will hold the bench for the next few weeks. One wonders if the Milan Fashion Week that opens today, after the last few seasons not so sparkling, will succeed in making at least forget the time of a show or a presentation the departure of the German designer, at the helm of Fendi and the Chanel maison since 1983.
Who will be, then, the names on which to focus on inventiveness, elegance and craftsmanship? Among the new levers and historical brands, we expect from both collections for the next autumn-winter able to know if not really the real made in Italy at least some hint of what is our heritage. Just so as not to get bored, here. Because, just as Emperor Karl said: «I love being always creative. If I were not I would get bored and boredom is a crime.»
Wednesday 20, while everyone will try to find out a preview of some details on the Gucci fashion show (15), one of the most prominent names comes out, already Iceberg creative director: Arthur Arbesser (14). Not at all obvious, its aesthetic taste is inspired by contemporary artists and urban architectures. To be kept in mind also Calcaterra (13), founded by Daniele Calcaterra in 2014, whose focus is research on the shape. Thursday 21 all tuned to new names such as Act N ° 1 (11.30) and Marco Rambaldi (17.30). For the most romantic and sophisticated the save the date is at Luisa Beccaria (15.30). For those who can not personally attend the Prada fashion show (18.30), the advice is to sit in a bar with a smartphone in one hand and a drink in the other to enjoy, hopefully, another magisterial show by Miuccia Prada and her team.
Friday 22 alternates iconic names such as Bottega Veneta (11.30), Marni (18) and Versace (19.30), the first, among other things, to parade with the first women’s collection, after the purchase by the Americans. Will Donatella succeed in maintaining her style, for better or for worse? Stay tuned. Eyes also focused on Francesca Liberatore (13.15), which officially has been part of the calendar for some seasons. Saturday 23, between a trip to White or Super, all at Gabriele Colangelo (10.30) and Missoni (18). Giorgio Armani (20) closes the day of fashion shows. Expect to go to Paris!
