Milanese Fashion Week we had for the upcoming Fall 2010. As Cathy Horyn said it so well on the NY Times, this week, Italian designers had presented “The Looks of Lowered Expectations.” But don’t get wrong, it was not bad like if the clothes were absolutely terrible, it was bad like a spectacular trailer for a bad movie. Perhaps the current economic situation has pushed the designers to focus more on selling wearable clothes than making a true creative fashion show. For example: Dolce & Gabbana have designed what I call a parody of a fashion show with nice pieces but absolutely uninspired neither appropriate for the season. Defending their collection to be their “back to the roots” trip, in my opinion it was purely a show that played on emotional feedback hiding the designers’ fear of moving forward in fashion.
