adidas Originals by Alexander Wang
The final of the quite anticipated seasonal show of Alexander Wang was unexpected: when shots with an inverted, but still recognizable shamrock appeared on the screen, it became clear that the audience was waiting for the adidas Originals by Alexander Wang collection, which was so much talked about and which, finally, saw. What you need to know about the sports giant's new project:
- the collection includes 84 unisex items;
- On September 11, the day of the show, individual items were sold in the brand's pop-up stores - more precisely, vans installed in several districts of New York;
- the entire collection in boutiques Alexander Wang and adidas Originals will appear only in the spring;
- the afterparty in honor of the launch of the collection was honored by the presence of Madonna herself.
Bottega veneta
The Italian house with Venetian roots celebrated its 50th anniversary and 15 years as Creative Director with an impressive display of men's and women's collections at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts. On the podium, viewers could contemplate models of different generations - from Karen Elson and Eva Herzigova to Gigi Hadid. The surprise was the appearance of the legendary model and actress of the 1990s, Lauren Hutton, who made the famous Bottega Veneta bag in woven leather, appearing in it in the movie "American Gigolo".

Dior
The first collection of Maria Grazia Chiuri for this Parisian house caused a serious stir. The main theme of the show was the fencing uniform combined with the iconic Dior models. The "Bar" jacket from Christian Dior's first collection in 1947 in the debut collection of Curie changed the tight cut, emphasizing the thin waist and hip line, for a soft and more practical for everyday wear, and New Look dresses with narrow bodices and wide skirts were "disassembled" for parts: on the upper translucent dress, corset and sheath skirt. With the exception of the last ten outlets, reminiscent of Valentino models, for which Chiuri worked in tandem with Pierpaolo Piccioli for ten years, the collection as a whole was stylistically reminiscent of Hedi Slimane's Dior Homme men's line.

Valentino
The second half of the torn apart design duo Valentino - Pierpaolo Piccioli - showed his first collection designed alone. It sparked unanimous delight among editors and buyers: this time, Piccioli came up with a combination of medieval images from Hieronymus Bosch's paintings and things that were clearly influenced by the British designer of the 1970s Zandra Rhodes. In addition to traditional dresses for the house - long and romantic - clients will surely appreciate trousers and coats made of brocade, reminiscent of Italian Renaissance fabrics.

Lanvin
After Alber Elbaz left the Lanvin house a year ago, the arrival of Bushra Jarrar as creative director was unexpected. Her approach to creating a collection for Lanvin is almost identical to that with which she works on her own, but for her debut in this French house, Jarrard used an unusually bright silk chiffon, as well as georgette, satin, crepe de Chine and organza. But the designer's mixture of masculine and feminine styles is reminiscent of what Jeanne Lanvin did in the 1920s, anticipating even her main rival, Coco Chanel.

Saint laurent
Another long- awaited collection: Anthony Vaccarello's debut at Saint Laurent turned out to be very consonant with the style of the previous designer Hedi Slimane, who left the fashion house with a scandal. And especially when it comes to mixing haute couture and streetwear. Vaccarello chose the work of Yves Saint Laurent of the 1980s as the starting point for the collection, which again was a kind of continuation of Slimane's last show.
Louis Vuitton
Nicolas Ghesquière's collection for Louis Vuitton turned out to be less experimental and more luxurious. His draped asymmetrical dresses and long, sheer mesh outfits will undoubtedly go down in the annals of Louis Vuitton as a new turning point in the history of the house. “I realized that I hadn’t explored the more sophisticated and luxurious side of the brand,” said Ghesquière, who corrected this.
