GIORGIO ARMANI
I always like Armani, especially the colours, fabrics and overall mood of his shows. There are always midnight blues, metallic silvers, sheer dresses and at least 1 pyjama suit somewhere. This season was the same as always. Lady like jackets, silk midi dresses, soft colours and a real sense of luxury. I loved all the intricate detailing on tops and mini dresses as well as the relaxed flat sandals, paired with very dressy ensembles. In classic Armani style there was a stylish turban and plenty of loose trousers tied at the waist with a silk tie.
VERSACE
Naomi Campbell, Adriana Lima, Irina Shayk, Jourdan Dunn, Edie Campbell... Donatella's list was endless with high profile models she called in to walk in her latest Versace show. Set to a punchy soundtrack and a strobe lighting along a V shaped catwalk, this spring/summer show was classically sexy, very sporty and of course, glamorous. Black was used as a key colour with flashes of colour across jogging tops and trousers, complete with super high heels. Green was used a lot as were purple and patchwork patterns on midi dresses and crop tops. Another high voltage Versace show!
ETRO
Etro are renowned for their use of exotic prints, usually paisley patterns and lots of swirls. This season, stripes were added into the mix, in black and white on skirts, shirts and jackets. There were still plenty of Arabian style patterns in burnt oranges, soft purple and beige, with some great options for evening too. Etro is very much your go to designer if you're holidaying in Cannes and need a wardrobe to see you through elegant dinners, stylish yacht parties and trips to the beach. I always fall in love with the Mediterranean style they present season after season. I lusted over the black cape tied at front with a clasp as well as the lovely pieces towards the end which featured tan knee high boots and sandals.
SPORTMAX
Not one of my favourite collections so far at Milan Fashion Week, but nevertheless a good show. Very similar in colour and print to the MaxMara show staged yesterday, this collection was sporty, relaxed and had a touch of Celine about it - more specifically some of those draped dresses. Taylor Hill opened the show in an electric blue midi dress with black detailing, while the whole show focused on loose silhouettes and monochrome. Not my style particularly, but it will no doubt please the Sportmax customer.
