Dear Filep and iDEALS,
today is the day. The caravanserai from a show to another has started. It seems that the Milanese journey this time will be even much better than the last few years. We will attend happenings at Castello Sforzesco for the first time and obviously in many other amazing hot places.
Everything begins at Gucci. Frida e le donne. Madame Giannini, the roman creative director of the brand from the city of the lily, paints a noir feminine. Floating in a world of chiffon made of dark tiny opulence.
The same at Alberta Ferretti, who designs for stronger women, living in Palazzo Donizetti and overbearing in Iron Lady’s leather and silk suit.
Alessandro Dell’Acqua, for his N 21, brings British’s code too. Creating sweatshirt and gardener’s apron dresses inspired by Queen Elisabeth’s favourite predilection for gardening.
It is time to show the crème of the crop at Sergio Zambon and his passion for heritage, handicraft, neo liberty graphics and surrealism. He draws palazzo pyjamas, military parkas and duvet dresses in a Gordon Matta-Clarck way. With portholes as André Courrèges done in late 60’s.
And it’s not a case, because Courrèges is back at 10 Corso Como to celebrate his 50th anniversary with a collection of trapezium vinyl dresses.
Tomorrow..It is a brand new day and I’m off to Elisabetta Franchi’s party at Palazzo Visconti with Seth Troxler on the decks!
