Day/Night. Boy/Girl. Work/Play. It’s all blurring into one wonderful mash-up of luxe here at opening day of Milan Fashion Week Fall 2014.
At Gucci, there were leather tuxedo shirts that won’t need to wait for a black tie invite to venture out of the house. And simple dresses with crystal bibs could be worn anywhere, depending who you want to dazzle. Alberta Ferretti wove metallic threads through tweed, put boyfriend sweaters over feathered skirts, and gave outerwear the sort of decorative treatments usually reserved for evening gowns.
Glitter/flannel and ribbed knits/chiffon were common pairings at No. 21, where feathers were sometimes added to the mix.
Fausto Puglisi’s bright geometrics and kitschy Statue of Liberty prints were often splashed with crystals and metal lightening bolts.
Otherwise, the day was pretty humourless with somber tones of army green, tawny brown and banker gray. And the dour palette along with lots of shaggy furs and boiled woolens ultimately put the day’s offerings in the cool weather zone.
Still, categorizing what we wear by gender, season or purpose is starting to feel very passé.
