Milan Fashion Week is more than just exclusive displays by the biggest fashion houses; it also provides an opportunity for smaller brands to make their mark on the global stage. The presentations provide an excellent opportunity to showcase not only the collection, but also the creative concept and gain attention. These are the most intriguing ones!
Mugler: shoes that attract the eye
Mugler, which is known for its futuristic forms and inventive designs, debuted a shoe line this season that blends classic and modern. In addition to attractive half-boots and leather boots, attention was given to cowboy boots with cow print, magnificent flip-flops, and fantastic stilettos. The collection combines elegance and extravagance, and it was designed for women who aren’t frightened of aggressive styling. Distinctive elements, such as expressive buckles and geometric heel forms, gave the shoes flair.
Benedetta Bruzziches: handbags with a soul
For years, Benedetta Bruzziches has delighted customers with unusually shaped purses. Her collection, handcrafted by the finest Italian artisans, merges art and nature. Each model tells a different tale, and during the presentation, you could watch how three masters of craftsmanship embroider purses, giving them a unique sheen. This season, the designer concentrated on crystal embellishments, soft velvet, and elaborately carved metal handles. The purses were not only a lovely complement, but also genuine works of art that might easily be located in a design museum.
Alessandro Enriquez: a concert full of emotions
The designer chose to surprise the audience by hosting his exhibition at the lovely Museo Bagatti Valsecchi. Colorful coats, patterned dresses, and contemporary headbands were displayed in an unusual setting, and guests were treated to a sample of Italian wines. The collection distinguished out for its use of vibrant colors and patterns influenced by 80s and 90s pop culture. Alessandro Enriquez is not afraid to blend odd styles, as evidenced by his designs, which featured long, flowing skirts paired with huge jackets or sparkly tops worn with casual trousers.
The Bridge & Piquadro: travel in Style
The Bridge and Piquadro collaboration resulted in a line of luxurious luggage and backpacks. During the cocktail party, you could look inside these gorgeous baggage and personalise patches, which proved to be a big hit – the lines for this attraction appeared to go on forever! The line blended traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology: exquisite leather mixed with innovative solutions like smart locks or built-in USB chargers made these items not only stylish but also incredibly functional.
Fratelli Rosetti: shoes that catch notice
The firm claims that the following season will be characterized by extravagance, with animal prints on boots and moccasins and beautiful patent leather shoes. The collection also featured vintage-inspired elements such as enormous buckles, perforations, and clashing colour combinations. Fratelli Rosetti did not forget about the classics; black and red will continue to dominate the streets this season, but with the addition of fascinating textures and finishes.
Ensemble: a return to the past
The brand transported us back to the 1960s and 1990s. Polka dots, elegance, and retro styles created the sense that the collection had stepped right off the red carpet. An additional WOW effect? The top floor of the structure offers a panoramic view of the Victor Emmanuel II Gallery. Fitted gowns with wide shoulders, stylish high-waisted suits, and hand-embroidered blouses resembled fashions seen at classic cinema galas. Ensemble demonstrated that classics are timeless if presented properly.
AGL is a crazy of patterns and textures
AGL’s line for women who wish to stand out features bold designs like yellow shoes with leopard inserts and three-dimensional accents like flowers and ribbons. Drama and extravagance? Absolutely! The designers also experimented with unique material pairings, such as leather and tulle, patent finishes, and matte detailing. Each pair of shoes in this collection was a miniature work of art that could easily be seen on the haute couture runway.
