Although the clothes were a classic showing of Dolce & Gabbana fashion, animal prints, lace, sequins and velvet full of flair – the models were something of a twist. Non-models in the form of influencers, celebrity offspring and even royalty graced the stage for a show like no other. With a live performance from singer Austin Mahone, these “models” sauntered down the leopard printed catwalk in all ages and sizes, giving an attainable vibe to the collection. Individuality seemed to be the theme at most shows this year and when it came to the hair, Dolce & Gabbana was no exception.

Structured coats, color blocking and accentuations of the female form strolled down the runway as Bottega Veneta created their own era by way of a new silhouette. With belted jackets, high necklines puffed sleeves, tailored waistlines, and a pantsuit or two; they aimed to show off a classic feminine feel for the modern woman. The men debuted with fitted jackets and coats with the occasional bow tie and natural textured hair to match. Accompanying the traces of dusty rose, pale yellow and pastel blue, the women wore a soft twisted upstyle with a modernized ‘40’s flair.

With a not-so-subtle nod to the ‘60s and flares from the ‘50s and ‘70s, Muiccia Prada created a revolutionary show amidst the backdrop of a teenager’s bedroom. With vintage movie posters lining the walls, the set gave off an undertone of the designer’s beliefs that were hard to be missed. The show was full of bright colors, dazzling textile designs and knee-length hems that still screamed sexy. Matching sweater sets and fur lined shoes and hoodies juxtaposed the crystal-beaded fringes, only adding to her mixed-medium affair. Hats were abundant everywhere at Fashion Week and at Muiccia’s show Baker Boy hats were donned atop the beautiful hair Guido Palau created.
