HEADS AND DRAGONS AT GUCCI
Alessandro Michelle has outdone himself this season with a runway complete with models holding their own heads and baby dragons. The life-like models which took 6 months to make, along with the operating room setting, may have been a creepy addition to the fashion presentation, but were a completely genius move for the social media savvy brand. The show, which Michelle called “Cyborg” was a commentary on the idea “we are the Dr. Frankenstein of our lives,” said Michele.

FENDI X FILA
Silvia Venturi Fendi described the latest Fendi collection as “a romantic uniform for a strong and powerful woman of today”, but in and amongst the strong feminine tailoring, Fendi gave a nod to street culture with a collaboration with well known streetwear brand, Fila. Plush sweatshirts and bags were emblazoned with a Fendi logo with a Fila twist. The updated Fendi logo, which borrows the iconic Fila “F”, was created by pop-culture artist “Hey Riley”.

VERSACE
The 80s are definitely the decade of the season with Versace following suit with an 80s glamour collection of electric primary-colour, pop prints, strong shoulders, waist cinching miniskirts and bold printed leggings. After last season’s iconic tribute to Gianni Versace, Donatella strikes again with a collection inspired by the Versace archives.

Pierpaolo Piccioli’s take on the winter staple featured floor sweeping puffer dresses and capes in irresistible, bold colours.
