The inspiration for Moschino's collection was clear. the Pop art sixties theme was most certainly the best way to start of the week, with bold contrasts of cropped jackets, dresses and mini-skirts, bringing the iconic era back to the 21st Century. Beginning with mono-chrome pieces, the first outfit which entered was a matching white mini dress and cropped jacket, featuring black piping in all the right places. Stripes were in high demand throughout the show, as well as the feature of diamonds, hearts, block colour and heavy piping.
Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana chose Sicily as their inspiration once again, this time full of colourful prints, bright colours, but still keeping the tradition.
The collection consisted of fine detail and bags of the tradition, expressed through print, accessories, and as my increasing obsession remains, in the shoes.
The split in the collection was clear; the tradition shown through tourist-like prints, historical images, with flowing skirts and high neck lines. Compared to the Sicilian beach styles, with stripes, more traditional prints, high-waisted shorts and bandeau tops. All of which were paired with over-sized earrings, beautifully colourful detailed wedges and flats, traditional bandannas, and festive wicker-basket bags.
Roberto Cavalli's SS 13 show consisted of beautiful floating silks, yet this time without the clashing prints we normally see. His signature use of denim and animal print was still in use, but in a more subtle, calm way, despite the use of pink lace and neon dresses. This saw the focus more on the looks, with coiled up trousers and lined shirts.
Georgia Armani focused on soft tailoring and purified colours, carrying on with an aquatic theme, even giving his models blue/silver style beret hair.
Dontella Versace presented once again a lavish, glamorous collection, consisting of a new way of channeling lace-lace panels on silk dresses, lace panels on shoulders, lace that ran down jeans, there was a clear experimentation going on with lace. My favourite amongst the looks were the floor length flowing gowns, paired with straps of tough studs going length way on the shoulders, and those repeatedly used strappy boots.
Peter Dundas carried on with taking the rains on the Emilio Pucci collection for SS 13, and did not disappoint. Even though the brands iconic Kaleidoscopic image is one leading back to the 1960's, Dundas has started to create a new iconic image for the brand, edging away from this assumed certainty. Now becoming for known for Dundas' confident, new found glamour, expressed through graphic swirls and geometries.
Not completely rid of its archival prints, the collection is explored through bomber jackets, floor length gowns and loose pants, giving across a somehow vintage look. And interesting collection and a favourite of the week.
