Where: Florence and Milan, Italy
When: June 2017
Who: J.W Anderson, Off-White, Bikkembergs, GCDS, MSGM, Prada, Fendi, Versace
Highlights:
Jonathan Anderson’s paired-back separates: wearable prints, lightweight fabrics and relaxed cuts. Next level streetwear at Off-White. Virgil Abloh experimenting with new proportions and tailoring for his Pitti Uomo debut. In Milan, both Fendi and Prada went heavy on the accessories offensive. The latter opting for machina-inspired accents taken directly from the pages of a graphic novel. In stark contrast to GCDS and MSGM‘s bold patterns and slogan-emblazoned pull overs, Bikkembergs opted for Summer appropriate suits with a workwear aesthetic. Versace returned to its Miami roots, celebrating the fashion house’s numerous 90s icons – think printed silk shirts, medusa heads, and acid wash denim.
