DECODING PRADA-NESS
It was a fashion marriage made in heaven when Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons announced they would be joining forces. For their women’s collection they presented their vision of life after pandemic: think knitted catsuits with vivid patterns, XXL bombers, sparkling dresses and sequined coats. The show was followed by a live talk, a new tradition for Prada digital presentations, where the creative duo talked us through the collection and discussed Prada-ness with their friends including Marc Jacobs, Hunter Schafer and Derek Blasberg.

OLD HOLLYWOOD GLAMOUR AT MOSCHINO
This season, Jeremy Scott made a show within a show, a parody on salon presentations, popular in the ‘40s and ‘50s. He invited his friends to participate (Maye Musk hosted the presentation in an LBD and pearls and Amber Valetta modelled a golden faux crocodile skin ensemble). Other highlights? Guests including Dita Von Teese and Winnie Harlow turned into models. ICYMI, watch it until the very end for a surprise from Von Teese.
MAX MARA’S REGAL REDUX
Max Mara’s creative director, British designer Ian Griffiths showcased a collection inspired by the Queen by way of headscarves, signature teddy coats, quilted hunting jackets, Aran sweaters, organza checked kilts and walking shoes – indeed. The walking wardrobe we didn’t know we needed.
FENDI FEVER
“The Fendi family are women of intellect who work hard — and that’s what I wanted to celebrate,” says Kim Jones. “I’m taking the amazing, strong women who I both know and work with, and listening to their needs,” he continued. “There’s a usefulness to the collection”. The designer wanted to create luxurious yet real clothes for everyday life, and played with the notion of masculine codes in the form of masterfully-cut silk cropped shirts, chic bodycon dresses, tailored camel cashmere coats, leather trench coats.
