Julien Bertic reports from Milan – Dolce and Fendi and White Club press conference Friday at 17h

Dear Diane, Dear Shaded Viewers

The main themes coming out of Milan fashion week have been an emphasis on evening wear, bright colors, prints and layering. Basically today people are visiting showrooms and trade shows and getting ready to move the fashion pilgrimage on to Paris where all begins on Sunday.

Quite surprising for Dolce & Gabbana was their use of damask fabrics in the form of tulip shaped skirts, and their response to two of the main Milan themes of handpainted fabrics for cocktail and full length evening dresses.

In brief Milan was about nostalia for the 50’s couture and a very particular vision of Italian design.

Best,

Julien
