Milan women’s fashion week 2017 – Feb. 22-28

Young, hot and happening

The Italian Chamber of Fashion has a long tradition of helping brands emerge and promoting national creativity in an international environment. That’s why the Fashion Hub Market was created in Semptember 2015, with the goal of supporting new and talented designers and brands from all over the world. Among the brands that have benefitted from the Chamber support, a few are selected each year and given the chance of holding their own fashion show and presenting their own collections during Milan Womenswear Fashion Week, which of course translates into boundless possibilities for new business and networking.

Faux Fur Frenzy

King Giorgio set the trend once again. He was hardly the initiator of the use faux-fur in haute couture, of course (the name Stella McCartney springs to mind), but he had the leverage and the prestige necessary to make the topic a hot one, so that a growing number of brands are jumping on the eco-friendly band wagon in a hurry. The fact that new faux-fur textiles have increased in quality dramatically over the past three years might have played a role in the revolution too. From scratchy stuffed-toy scraps to gorgeous, lush, shiny and warm creations: this is how technology lends a helping hand in saving the planet. We are expecting to see a lot of fur in the winter collections that will be presented in Milan in February, particularly because of an overall tendency that seems decided to cling on to the 80s for as long as it is humanly possible. After exploring the shapes and sizes of that controversial decade, designers seem now intent on replicating its patterns, colour-schemes and textures. Get ready to dress like your mum on a winter break in 1985, with geometrical pattern galore, shoulder pads and, of course, (faux)fur-coats.
