Recap of the second day of Milan Fashion Week: highlights from Prada, Blumarine, Emporio Armani and Moschino.

Second day of Milan Fashion Week, and it is also loaded with incredible shows, but we are going to focus on four in particular: Prada, Blumarine, Emporio Armani and Moschino.

Starting with Prada, “mainly what matters to me now is to give importance to the modest, to value modest work, simple work and not just extreme beauty or glamour,” said Muiccia Prada. With Prada redefining “ugly” so we see it as beautiful, and Simons transforming uniforms to honor the people who wear them. Another concept Simons explained was turning the embellishments you see on wedding dresses into everyday outfits. And it is that, we have been able to see how they transformed the nurses’ dresses into long shirt dresses with short tails, other looks that seemed to be a reinterpretation of the military uniform, military shirts, ties tucked into the pants, and a wide variety of skirts (pencil, mini , with volume…), some adorned with 3D flowers.

We continue with Blumarine, which brings us a collection that at first reminds us a bit of the Vikings, with mini skirts, corsets, coats and jackets, lined with hair and full of buckles; in addition to belts, bracelets and chokers leather with spikes. In addition, we have seen metallic and metallic mesh garments, fringes, dresses with ruffles and 3D flowers, and many knitwear (leggings, jackets, dresses, etc.).

Emporio Armani, presented a collection inspired by Elizabethan theatrical costumes as the lead in character emphasis. We saw this in the looped black ribbon collars, a kind of reinvented ruff worn over bright blue and green velvet suits, and frilly-collared, bib-fronted pink silk shirts. We also saw jackets, coats, and a vest in various cuts and fabrics, mostly shades of gray, and worn over shorts, skirts, and tucked pants like jodhpur in the boots jackets padded collarless, tuxedo black daywear (with sportswear influences), and a few velvet suits. Finally, we saw sequined pants with halter tops and double belts, and a series of black and white dresses with embossed sequins and flowers.

As if from a tribute to Vivienne Westwood y Chanel It was about, we are going to talk, finally, about the parade of Moschino. Moschino has brought us 51 looks loaded with punk. All the models wore a long, hair-raising black wig, plus fishnet stockings. We started looking at the collection, several looks that could remind us of Chanel and her typical skirt and jacket suits, but with that punk touch, then we saw looks of leather dresses, tight dresses, jackets with spikes on the sleeves, and transparencies. The last 20 looks have left us with our mouths open. 20 dresses of different cuts and fabrics, from one that seems to be taken from a Cinderella story, another consisted of a biker plus some leather panties, from which two large pieces of fabric protruded from the sides as a skirt, another was transparent full of shiny pieces and an orange bolero with a lot of volume and full of jewels too, and, another example, one made 100% of jewels.
