Milan Fashion Week (September 21-27)
As fashion month kicks off, it is apparent that this is the season of change (as at our agency too ) – from new creative directors and new bases, to the rising stars and show-stopping shake-ups. Get your head around what the fashion crowd will be talking about in New York, London, Milan and Paris over the coming weeks…
As the year of fashion musical chairs draws to a close, this season will see a number of recently appointed creative directors show their debut collections for their new houses. Saint Laurent’s Anthony Vaccarello (who was named as Hedi Slimane’s successor in April) will show the much-anticipated fruits of his first few months at the fashion house, as will Maria Grazia Chiuri for Dior following her appointment in July. This will be a season of firsts for Grazia Chiuri, as she is the only woman to ever take the helm at the French label and it will also be the first collection that she will show without her long-term design partner Pierpaulo Piccioli (who will present his first solo vision for Valentino.) Lanvin’s show this season will be led by new creative director Bouchra Jarrar, who replaced Alber Elbaz at the house after he was controversially ousted last year, while Diane von Furstenberg will present its first collection by Jonathan Saunders, following his appointment in May…
Some confirmed debuts will keep us holding on a little longer than others – Calvin Klein is showing a small presentation by its in-house design team ahead of Raf Simons unveiling his first collection in February. Although it recently named Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia as co-creative directors, Oscar de la Renta had its in-house team finish its spring/summer 2017 collection following Peter Copping’s departure, so the fashion world will also have to wait until next year for their offering. And, while Versus Versace remains on the schedule this season, it will be without the leadership of Anthony Vaccarello whose replacement is yet to be announced.
