Best Looks from Milan Fashion Week 2021

As we know, Milan was hit hard from the COVID-19 crisis early on, forcing immediate shut-downs and a national quarantine. Many  Italian designers used this moment for reflection on not only what was important to their lives, but also the lives of their brands and the women who wear them. 

“During this year marked by the COVID pandemic, fashion has demonstrated, despite the struggles that lay before us, a great sense of heart, strength, and unity,” said Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana president Carlo Capasa.

Below, standout looks from a historic Milan Fashion Week.

Versace

Donatella Versace’s collection took inspiration from the depths of Atlantis. The live streamed show imagined models in the mythical underwater city’s ruins, with slicked hair and sea motifs. The sparkling starfish and seashells were a nod to Gianni Versace’s 1992 collection, bringing a nostalgic feel to the vibrant designs.

Prada

There was lots to choose from in the collection, but the coats were a real standout. Models clutched them much like Mrs. Prada has been known to do herself, with the sleeves rolled up, as she also tends to style her personal uniform.

Fendi

Silvia Venturini was inspired by a familiar view from lockdown — a window onto the outside world — and also referenced domestic materials like linen tablecloths and bedding. 

Prints on breezy, sheer fabric resembled curtains with an afternoon shadow cast on them.

Salvatore Ferragamo

Paul Andrew spent time in quarantine watching classic Hitchcock thrillers like The Birds and Vertigo, which became inspirations for his 2021 collection. Accompanied by a suspense-building short film by Luca Guadagnino, the runway displayed ensembles worth any Hitchcock heroine.

Throughout the collection, Ferragamo’s craft is highlighted. Here, a handspun skirt gives a fringe-like effect.
