Prada, for example, was trying on rebellious notes, Etro went for a postmodern past (the, compared to with LFW's retrofitting, an interesting new point to explore), and Cavalli has taken on a fascinating old identity that will thrive and evolve from now on. In short, MFW is always full of surprises. And we love it!

Although we usually expect NYFW and LFW to make things political, that does not mean MFW can not be a bit of a rebel.

Prada's industrial revolution in the fall of 2018 is not predictable, as Charles Dickens did. During the fashion show, Miuccia Prada showed a dream series of 48 pieces, mostly dipped in neon colors whose structures could easily be described as sci-fi accents blending harmoniously with the glamor of the eighties (the tartan patterns do not disappear) / p Layered ensembles, bucket hats (they will not go away either, I'm sorry, I'm sorry?), Tweeds and acidic parkas were the focus of this Prada Fall 2018 collection and have certainly surprised the cold and gloomy Milan.

One thing is certain - we can now combine Calvin Klein's balaclavas with Prada's galoshes. Speaking of useful way!

On the last Friday afternoon at the MFW Etro presented in the fall season equally nostalgic and post-modernist, because creative director Veronica Etro had the construction of the moodboard and the subsequent setting a clear vision.

" [It's] like Ettore Sottsass and Laura Ingalls chat and these would make new synthesis vo n handmade earthiness and rigorous postmodernism ", Etro poetically declared the essence of the line-up behind the scenes.

With its earthy tone palette, layered structures, exquisite patterns and flowing lines that blissfully remind us The prairie dresses, this Etro Fall 2018 collection plays a lot with the cowgirl and the indigenous side of fashion, without a chance miss to emphasize its elegant legacy and urban (jungle) appeal.

Compared to the many eighties inspired, sci-fi flavored and highly utilitarian collections we've seen so far, Etro's unique Fall 2018 collection is sure to be memorable and striking.

When Roberto Cavalli's fall collection approached late in the afternoon of 2018, many wondered for sure: Will Paul Surridge be able to do so be? save Roberto Cavallis leopard prints?

Considering how many designers created the animal designs As these NYFW, LFW and MFW have revived, the times are certainly favorable.

Animal prints aside, which are probably safe And this time the question will be: Will Roberto Cavalli be revived as an Italian label whose main objective is to portray strong women even in difficult times? According to Surridge himself, the answer is yes (well, at least that's his goal).

"I like the idea of ​​a powerful seductress," Surridge told the Guardian before the show. "Cavalli is an Alpha Woman and an Alpha Man, but together they do not pick up, they complement each other."

Translated into fashion, his Roberto Cavalli Runway Show in 2018 brought leopard prints galore, an intense and dark color palette, magical ombre refinements, and a good dose of bohemian rock vibes, Roberto Cavalli's Legacy (and those who love it) are very important.

While focusing on Cavalli's distinctive aesthetics, Surridge took his lead role in renovating Cavalli's structures here and there, playing with urban-chic side-slit coats, tassels, and low-waist silhouettes.

Most of all, he managed to overpower MFW with some fun and carelessness, which is no small feat. "Cavalli has always been playful and I think we're ready for a bit more fun in fashion," he concluded. And we are very thankful.
