PHILIPP PLEIN SPRING SUMMER 2017 WOMEN’S COLLECTION – MILAN FASHION WEEK

Pink flamingos, magic mushrooms, ice-cream trucks and a giant carousel… Welcome to Ghettoland, a candy-coloured town where everyone dreams big and fantasies really do come true. Entering through a towering ghetto blaster in a chauffeur-driven Cadillac, hip hop queen and ultra-vixen Fergie reigns supreme in this town. Her song M.I.L.F. $ booms through the enormous speakers: “You got that, you got that, you got that milk money… I got that, I got that, I got that MILF money.”

The Ghettoland girls chant the lyrics like a national anthem. These women are beautiful, powerful and in control. There are no desperate housewives here: these women run the place with a rod of glittering gold and they dress like hip hop honeys. Everyday uniforms like jeans and tracksuits are pimped-up into super-luxe pieces with the addition of croc-prints, intricate embellishment and layers of heavy gold jewellery.

Baseball caps, high-tops and bomber jackets are elevated into perfect examples of street-style couture. More is definitely more, and these women want to be noticed; their playthings – the local college boys and hired help – can only stand back and watch in awe as they swagger by. Alice in Ghettoland is the largest and most ambitious show ever attempted in Milan Fashion Week.

It is also the last time Philipp Plein will present a collection in Milan. Starting next season, the global brand will stage its explosive extravaganzas in New York City. Get ready, it’ll soon be time for a new adventure. #ALICEINGHETTOLAND

N°21 SPRING SUMMER 2017 WOMEN’S COLLECTION – MILAN FASHION WEEK

Urge to transgress, aspiration to build something new. All with the awareness that we can change the rules if we are perfectly familiar with them. That’s the thinking behind the definition of a new woman, one who’s ultra-feminine of mind yet very much into a femininity that finds freshness in the superimposition of the contrasting elements emblematic of contemporary cultures. The N°21 collection for spring/summer 2017 comes equally from a desire for continuity and a wish for renewal.

«While needing to break the rules that I now consider passé, I wanted to retake possession of the narrative on femininity forever behind my women’s fashion vision. I created layers of images through an overlapping of references so as to attain a very modern femininity that originates in a strong will to change. And I gave this new woman the chance to transgress and thereby build a present-day reality where perversion becomes a glamour game that’s both innocent and decisive,» says creative director Alessandro Dell’Acqua.

Layers of meaning that reflect tenets in evolution. Motley composite of symbols that ultimately forge connotations consistent with the times. For purposes of obtaining, Dell’Acqua goes on, «bothersome elements in classic femininity disoriented by ruptured elements.» Glam/sport fusion effects that spark quirky images where the off-center stance affords the item of clothing and the person wearing it a further opportunity for expression.

So here then are layered skirts and dresses thanks to the use of East European folk style-print foulards, complete with embroidered patch pockets and semi hidden under sequined plisse half skirts. Zipped scuba sweaters with pom-pom decors and passementerie trim on shoulders. Sequined tube skirts in chiffon and organza with tech fabric-edged side zip closures. Tulle-lined anoraks with big patch pockets all in mikado, versus macramé lace bombers with big patch pockets in duchesse.

Macramé dresses with, by contrast, a techy loose-mesh look. Linear dresses in poplin or crepe de chine, offset by a lovely ruche ruffle. High-heel tech-sole sandals with reflective bow on the narrow toe, in alternative to platforms with a running shoe sole. Big macramé rucksacks, as well as small embroidered cloth bags with macro bow closures and tech cord handles & shoulder straps. Lastly, the eyewear – designed in collaboration with Linda Farrow – where the golden lunette on the lens recaps the symptomatic mystery of this fresh take on the eternal power of feminine allure.

Recollections and references, superimpositions and sensations in crossover mode that inspire «a disruptive action necessary for renewing the tenets of femininity that no longer withstand the test of time. All for a woman who has no fear of skimming the sinful boundaries of her own move in a cool new direction», Dell’Acqua concludes.

ALBERTA FERRETTI SPRING SUMMER 2017 WOMEN’S COLLECTION – MILAN FASHION WEEK

WOMEN’S TALES

Sensuality, emerging in its most feminine and conscious form, is expressed with determination and warmth. Freer to feel unabashedly feminine, these women transform their strength into alluring radiance. The Alberta Ferretti Spring/Summer 2017 collection presents garments that can be worn alone or combined and layered to tell new stories. These clothes are creative tools for telling the story of a new woman whose personality strongly conveys unambiguous and conscious femininity.

“With this collection I wanted to introduce passion into my fashion narrative. Following my instinct, I expanded my romantic vision of femininity, adding the passionate character of women who openly express their feminine sensuality. They have a warmer, more radiant personality because they are freer and have no complexes. This is why I also used a touch of eccentricity to accentuate their physicality and character,” says Alberta Ferretti.

The collection juxtaposes different personalities and meanings. Ultra-feminine outfits are combined with menswear trousers and blazers. Tulle kimonos reveal embroidered sleeves, while airy chiffon dresses are worn over menswear trousers made of shiny silk shantung. The same fabric is used for dresses with dramatic crisp ruffles that precede long chiffon dresses cinched at the waist with leather belts that wrap around the waist bustier-style.

Bras are visible underneath completely sheer blouses worn like voile bed jackets. Silk grosgrain ribbons run down long kimonos, tracing movement. Fil coupé jacquard jackets and trousers are worn with organza pieces. The classic “Mia Mule” has a more relaxed look with floral embroidery or bugle bead embellishments which are also featured on clothing.

This deliberate layering is not done to create a theatrical effect, but to establish an unexpected narrative of discontinuity affirmed through a line that emphasizes the shoulders or leaves them bare in strapless dresses, accentuating a silhouette that transforms from languid to passionate through softer, fuller, flowing volumes.

BLUGIRL SPRING SUMMER 2017 WOMEN’S COLLECTION – MILAN FASHION WEEK

An ode to summer contaminated by cosmopolitan notes. Joie de vivre and creative freedom as the quintessence of an eclectic style. A kaleidoscope of intertwined colors features prints and embroideries underlining a light and fresh moving silhouette.

Large and sinuous volumes outline cotton blouses and crop tops that reveal shoulders with ruches, maxi ounces and asymmetric necklines, while paired with oversize skirts and trousers. Airy fabrics convey the elegance of uidity with pleats that create dramatic shapes throughout the body.

Thread embroideries portraying owers, leaves and botanical patterns create decorative effects on tulle weaves, broderie anglaise and lace with sporty accents on blazer jackets and high-tech fabric overcoats. The distinctive ora of Mediterranean islands gives life to pictorial suggestions on chiffon all-over prints and optical plays alongside stripes.

Light cotton knitwear is decorated by ounces, stripes and multicolor jacquard patterns with ethno-chic beads. Dégradé roses and thread embroidered white and red buds constellate dramatic organza, habotai and silk chiffon dresses.

Striped fabric tote bags, felt hats and leather sandals featuring raf a and nappa fringes – a recurrent style pattern also seen in stone necklaces – define a personal attitude that enhances the codes of the summer season.
