Milan Fashion Week started on Wednesday, following New York and London’s events, showcasing designs for the upcoming autumn/winter 2023-2024 season.
Fendi, the Italian luxury label, presented a collection that deconstructed traditional masculine tailoring with designs such as pleated skirt aprons on trouser suits, shoulder-baring waistcoats, and boiler suits with skirts.
Designer Kim Jones was inspired by jewelry designer Delfina Delettrez Fendi’s personal style, as she incorporates the label’s archives into her outfits.
The collection was described as “deconstructed but luxurious” with a nod to punk and DIY styles, while the colour palette was mainly pale blue, gray, cream, brown, and black with pops of pink and orange.
On the other hand, Alberta Ferretti’s collection was predominantly dark, with colours such as burgundy, black, and brown and flashes of red on select pieces.
The show opened with a strapless grey gown and a series of grey outfits paired with black shiny gloves, including trousers, short dresses, velvet gowns, corduroy suits, belted coats, and jackets.
The evening looks were all black, featuring sparkling jackets, sheer dresses, and matched tops and skirts.
Milan Fashion Week will feature over 50 catwalk shows from prominent designers such as Giorgio Armani, Prada, Gucci, and Dolce & Gabbana and conclude on February 27.
