Milan Fashion Week Recap: 7 Best Shows To Remember

Though this year's Milan Fashion Week was signficantly more subdued than previous seasons, the Italian fashion capital continued to surprised us with unique shows and presentations that have us already looking forward to the next summer. Here are the seven best shows to remember from Milan Fashion Week. 

Sportmax took us back to the 90es for its Spring-Summer 2021 collection. Tie-dye, leather and oversized suits dominated the runway with a grungy look. Max Mara 's little sister brought us a modern take on minimalism.

Designer Pierpaolo Piccioli presented his Valentino collection for the first time in Milan. From luxurious floral prints to couture-worthy pieces, Piccioli unleashed his romantic vision of Valentino's creative collections. The show's soundtrack was performed by Labyrinth who created an emotionally charged setting for the show.

For its spring-summer 2021 collection, Max Mara returns to the Renaissance, set in the year 2020. The brand's recurring themes of identity, gender ambiguity, intrigue, tragedy, comedy, desire and magic are transformed into graphics and an aesthetic reinterpretation of the costume. A Renaissance coat and an ultra-modern parka come together with functional pockets, snaps and laces to become an elegant and wearable city garment.

Versace was inspired by the underwater world for his collection. We saw this in the wet-hair looks, trésor de la mer print and shell-shaped bustiers. Versace is committed to diversity and consciously chose a cast of models with different sizes and body types.

Giorgio Armani 's collection was broadcast on national Italian TV, accompanied by a video documentary that was shown around the world. “ Timeless Thoughts ” a twenty-minute video with emotional images, memories and archive interviews about Armani's style. The collection itself used neutral colors, geometric styles in true Armani style.

A sense of lightness could be observed in Fendi 's spring-summer 2020-2021 women's and men's collection, which presented layered and sheer looks. And taking lead role: virgin white linen in tailored dresses, finished with nostalgic-looking embroidery. Also keep an eye out for the new Hand in Hand Baguettes!

It was one of the most anticipated shows of Milan Fashion Week. Raf Simons and Miuccia Prada unveil their highly anticipated and co-designed collection for Spring-Summer 2021. An enlarged Prada logo, combined with Simons' experimental taste, set the tone of the collection.
