“I LOVE KNIT” mood by Beatrice Brandini
My story about Milan Fashion Week starts from here.
“OCHER”, mood by Beatrice Brandini
I’ll start with the OCHER trend. It is clearly a point of colour, ocher, which we will see a lot of next winter. For me it is decidedly refined and elegant, alone or combined for example with black and brown. There are various shades, with gradations ranging from light to darker tones, but always very interesting.

“I LOVE KNIT” mood by Beatrice Brandini
LOVE KNIT. We have seen wonderful jacquard proposals, such as those by Etro; knit stitches that refer to the icon of femininity, Marilyn, from N°21; extraordinary workmanship such as those by JW Anderson. Very simple but great to Prada. In short, the shirt is the protagonist and has always been a special way to cover ourselves and warm ourselves with a cuddle.

“ANCORA (GUCCI color)” mood by Beatrice Brandini
I defined this trend as the burgundy shade “Ancora” coined by Sabato De Sarno, and on which the entire Gucci press campaign was based last season. And I must say that on the catwalks for the next Autumn – Winter season, exactly six months later, it was very popular and proposed again by many brands and designers. Well done De Sarno for making it a must!

GENTLEMEN mood board by Beatrice Brandini
The last theme, Gentleman, is that of dressing, both in styles and fabrics/colours, stealing from the male wardrobe, for the return of a beautiful, more classic and slightly androgynous, but in reality hyper feminine. Coats and Blazers; fabrics such as Prince of Wales, Tweed, Pied de Poule… All exploring all the shades of gray and black and white in the most refined micro designs and textures.

There was also much more, such as total black, leather, denim, the sparkle of evening dresses… but they were trends that I had already mentioned 6 or even 12 months ago. Confirming that this season, despite the usual excellence, there was a lack of ideas.
Good life to everyone!
