Milanese designers are telling a story of power for next summer. They speak against the fragility of women with their clothes, against the ideas of restrictive clothing, rendering women’s power diminished. They instead arm women with strength and power born out of clothing.

Cividini

I always find Cividini’s shows to be so interesting - they have perfected the art of layering different pieces together and pairing different pieces in an original manner that somehow always works beautifully. Their outfits are always very polished and the tailoring is spot on. The inspiration this time round was The Tenenbaums, a fictional American family depicted in the 2001 Wes Anderson flick.

Although this was a summer collection, the looks are geared towards spring, autumn or colder climates. The pieces and looks touched on many different concepts and areas. There were lightweight, pleated skirts that swished beautifully as the models walked, and ultra-long sleeves sprouting out from under jackets.

The polo shirt dress was one of the most interesting pieces within the collection, featuring hand-painted motifs by Chinese painter Fuji Tsang.

Genny

Sara Cavazza Facchini played around with contrasts in this collection to emulate the rich personality traits of the modern woman.

The day dresses featured petal-like sleeves but were then enhanced with armour inspired corsets.

Some of the standout pieces were the chiffon maxi dresses with plissè details in metallic tones.

Genny's collection sought to represent the strong contrasts that characterise the modern woman.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Anteprima</b></p> <p>Anteprima reworked old trends in new ways for this collection.
