Milan fashion week has concluded and it was marvelous. I have selected Versace, Pucci, Ferragamo, Cavalli and Etro as some of the seasons best offerings. The trends I am seeing from Milan are as follows: Metallics, lace, chiffon, animal prints, ornate embellishment, tribal, ethnographic, prints of all kinds, muted colors, and very vibrant colors, feathers and fur, velvet burn-out. I chose the Ferragamo collection because it's what the fortune 500 Diva CEO should be wearing. Milano never fails to turn the heat up and with the weather this season, we could all use it.
I love this talk about fashion and licensing. Is it wrong to make copies? Should we have better licensing? The Ted talks features a healthy talk about trending and the culture of copying. It's a great business piece. It forces people to think about the totality of business and creativity. Is fashion creativity? What is a signature look?
