Milan Fashion Week: 1 and 2 days of shows
February 23, the official openingMilan Fashion WeekMilan Fashion Week starts very vigorously, even at the first show a crowd of people gathered at 9 am The brightest were young bloggers and street fashion photographers. Girls willingly hand out business cards, pose for photographers. There are a lot of students at fashion schools in Milan who receive invitations at institutes: a trip to the show is included in the curriculum. The shows begin every hour, and from the outside it looks like the movie “Rat Races”: journalists, photographers and buyers try to get to the right places by any means, although there is no hurry: all shows start 30 minutes or even more late. For convenience, almost all girls in ballet shoes or manlike-shoes. Heels only those who can afford to go no more than two shows a day. The main thing here is a combination of super-expensive and super-cheap things. You will not meet anyone in jackets - only coats or jackets (a size or two more), fake fur is also worn and it’s necessary to have a bag - here in honor of Yves Saint Laurent and, attention, Louis Vuitton. There are more monogrammed bags than on RFW, and they are combined with Converse sneakers and Pierre Hardy futuristic sandals.
View bows from the first day of Milan Fashion Week
First show Angelo marani, can be described in several words: fur, embroidery, gold, sequins, animal prints and rhinestones. If you see in the schedule of Milan Fashion Week a brand that seems unfamiliar to you, then, with a 90 percent probability, it is everything that Italian TV presenters love so much. For example, Angelo Marani is a fun mix of Roberto Cavalli and Balmain. Go
After the first show, it became clear that no one would walk on foot: shuttles plying from show to show, very similar to ordinary taxis, only slightly more civilized. Despite the fact that the passage in them is allowed only if there is a special badge, the girl conductor, smiling, puts everyone: buyers, photographers, bloggers and editors. In another way to get to the shows is problematic, since almost all of them are held in different places. Perhaps, only in a specially built pavilion on Piazza del Duomo and in the palazzo on Senato Street several shows will take place. Go
From the first day on the shows you can meet Scott Schumann along with his girlfriend Garans Dore. On the second day, on Krizia, appeared Ivan Rodich, who arrived in the morning. The list of bloggers about whom nobody knows anything has dozens of names. Everyone will know each other on the first day.
Chief editors only go to the main shows of the Week. On Gucci, Prada and Fendi, Anna Wintour (who magically manages to go to the most recent shows and leave the very first), Jefferson Hack and, of course, Frank Sozzani, could be noticed. Anna Dello Rousseau is the most friendly here, the photographers do not care for her in her soul, she greets almost everyone and poses for a long time.
Traffic jams and a huge number of people only at the loudest shows - those where the editors come, and those that take place in the Duomo square. At the last crowded crowd of onlookers of tourists who are just watching and do not even try to enter.
More than the rest of the hits were waitingPrada, to which everyone dreamed: this is the loudest event of the week. The day after the show, judging by the conversations among photographers and bloggers, someone even flew home. All gossip about the insolvency of the summer collection of the House can be considered debunked after Giovanna Battaglia, editor of L'Uomo Vogue, met at the entrance to the show another three colleagues in identical skirts with a banana print.
Let on Prada strictly by invitation. Those whom the main guard does not know by sight are asked to get a complimentary letter from the envelope. When we were not recognized, Olivier Theyskens, who in his life looks younger than his years and whom the guards nearly searched. They have their own priorities here at all: the security of the same Italian TV presenters can be opened up without invitations and not even checked through the lists, and Anna Piaggi can search for a long time on the guest list, unpleasantly whistling at the same time.
Even the professional photographers sit down on the latest shows. Therefore, after six almost no one takes off. Unlike editors, at the end of the working day, bloggers look disheveled and tired, and some, if he failed to get to the main show of Fashion Week, are also upset.
