The cold and rain could not stop Milan Fashion Week

Milan Fashion Week was a cold, rainy sludge, peppered with several moments of beauty and perversion. Attendees may have hated jumping puddles in their stilettos, but the city, which is the third most polluted in the world, welcomed the storms, which eliminate the smog.

A new season of clothing is a kind of proverbial smog clearing: out with the old ideas and feelings, and in with new shapes, moods, and stars.

It was a week of efforts by sophomores, including Tom Ford designer Peter Hawkings, who worked with Ford for years before taking the reins when the company was sold last year.

Milan is also a city of trusted heritage brands with commercial appeal, such as Tod’s, Bally and Gucci.

Another interesting second collection came from Bally, whose designer Simone Bellotti came from Gucci. And a third: Sabato De Sarno, in Gucci.

There were also some debuts, including a new designer, Adrian Appiolaza, at Moschino.

If there was a trend to stand out, it could be the end of “quiet luxury” and a shift towards something louder, even among soft-spoken brands like Jil Sander.

The weekend brings a note of quiet elegance: Giorgio Armani.
