The Prada Milan Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016 fashion show kept some elements from its SS16 collection: the 50’s vibe, maybe a touch of the beauty- the hair, and digressed from the goth chic look into this more colorful version with textiles, still life paintings turned photo prints… Clown boots, lace up calf-high boots, Mary-Janes, corsets, capes,…

Moschino Milan Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016 MFW FW16
Burning Hot: Jeremy Scott burned down the house of Moschino, literally- burn holes, tattered sleeves and hemlines, match and cigarette-smoking-lip prints, and leather bondage were the motifs of the Moschino Fall/Winter 2016 Milan Fashion Week runway show.

It is a strange mishmash of overworked, over designed, unwearable looks that seem like only a diva in a period piece film would wear. What is wearable is made awkward with fabric selection, print, embroidery, leg of mutton…

Are the English regaining their senses, or actually developing a fashion sense?Ashish Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016 was a massive improvement from last season’s wacky show that featured black guys in womenswear! The show was monochromatic, with matching outfits, afros, lip color, and shoes, which I think represents this brand becoming more salable,…
