IThe third day of Milan Fashion Week, on stage the 2022/2023 collections of some of the most prominent Maison: starting with the fashion show Gucciwhich unveils the co-lab with Adidas on the catwalk and invites the mum-to-be Rihanna. Parade of tops for Missoni, to Iris Law and Eva Herzigova; Sabrina Salerno, yes Elisabetta Franchi. And finally, the urban boho of Etro and the sexy attitude of Versace.
Through the Gucci mirror
A unique wardrobe. Like the one of Rihanna, with her baby bump in plain sight and companion ASAP Rocky on the arm. Made of exclusive pieces, the result of the new co-lab with Adidas.
Alessandro Michele aims to amaze with the fashion show Exquisite Gucci: all the power of fashion, which like a mirror amplifies and reflects the times – and the catwalk of the Gucci Hub is also sprinkled with mirrors for the occasion. The vehicle, magical clothes with which to transform looks and wardrobe, in an exquisite and continuous metamorphosis. Truly unique pieces that revolutionize the look, such as the tuxedo suits in bright colors, the Penny Lane coat in jacquard, the wedding or evening dress that becomes as sporty as a suit thanks to the legendary Clover, mixed with double GG. The lace stay-ups and the baseball cap with the double logo, the (already) must-have accessories.

Versace’s emancipated woman
Donatella Versace for the Fall Winter 2022/2023 fashion show brings a strong and self-confident woman to the stage. She is free to discover herself in pink Barbie micro dresses and bustiers or in crystal-embellished tweed or to hide in maxi overcoats and oversized trousers with masculine pleats. Emancipated, unscrupulous like a pair of patent leather bondage tights or gloves, the core of the collection. Interpreters of this new sensuality that says and does not say, Emily Ratajkowski, Bella Hadid, Precious Lee, Gigi Hadid. And obviously, Donatella herself, who plows through the catwalk in latex clothing.

Etro’s urban boho medley
Two styles performed in sequence, without interruptions. On the one hand, the typical silhouettes and materials of Veronica Etro: maxi cardigans, fringes, embroidered micro vests with a boho chic flavor. Then, an urban touch: maxi squared belts, wide jeans, knitted or velvet trousers, animalier, patent leather trench coat. The remix is explosive, and resonates like a refrain in a wardrobe designed to dress women of any physicality, gender or ethnicity, from the curvy Jill Kortleve to the transgender Majesty Amare to the Italian Vittoria Ceretti. Loved by all, the Paisley of the Maison, enlarged, enveloping, reassuring.

Missoni hip hop knitwear
Second test for Alberto Caliri da Missoni, who takes the Maison’s icon knitwear out of his comfort zone. The dressing gown with a studied felted effect is worn over exposed underwear and matching vinyl ankle boots, the maxi zigzag-patterned lurex cape over the cargo suit, the ultra-baggy alpaca work pants with the biker vest, the frayed micro pullover over the trousers transparencies. A mix between the hip hop scene of the 90s, today and the great classics, as demonstrated the original cast of models and actresses: from Greta Ferro and Elisa Sednaoui, up to the very young Iris Law (21) – daughter of Jude – and Marsai Martin (17), to Eva Herzigova (48).
Power dressing according to Tod’s, Sportmax and Elisabetta Franchi
The in Bag loved by Lady Diana, deconstructed and to be carried by hand. The cult accessory that elevates a woman’s beautiful and made in Italy wardrobe Tod’s. Italian beautythe name of the programmatic collection by Walter Chiapponi where the power of the wardrobe is expressed through simple elegance.

Sportmax with Dial ‘S’ for… aims straight to seduce with the silhouettes, which through the sartorial deconstruction underline the body of a new femme fatale. Un po’ Sean Young in Blade Runner, a po ‘ Catherine Deneuve in The Hunger, which focuses on the key pieces of power dressing, from the 40s hourglass jackets, to the exaggerated 80s shoulders to the Impossible Dress, whose edges are held together by thin 90s PVC strips. A business woman who knows how to have fun with the wardrobe, that of Elisabetta Franchi – to represent her, on the catwalk of the show, Sabrina Salernobut also Gessica Notaro (disfigured with acid by the former) and Hofit Golan.
Multiculturalism, the thrust of the emerging ones
On day 3 of Milan Fashion Week, he once again turns the spotlight on new talents, who come from all over the world. Galib Gassanoff and Luca Lin, the first born in Azerbaijan, the second Italian-Chinese, souls of Act N.1which bring on stage one inclusive parade, starting from the cast, to arrive at the multiplicity of fabrics and shapes. The slow fashion knitwear brand Calves led by Mauro Simionato parades in a nightclub in the multicultural via Padova. Micro double parade and lots of applause for Vaishali S Couture by Vaishali Shadangule, from Mumbai, official guest member of the Paris Haute Couture Week, which brings Indian charm to Milan.
