During Milan Fashion Week, fashion brands Moschino, GCDS, and Plein Sport made a splash with their extravagant presentations. Moschino wowed the audience with a Fall/Winter 2022-23 collection that was introduced through a mysterious golden key included in the invitation cards. The key granted access to a lavish hall adorned with Baroque and Louis XIV-inspired decor. The models strutted in chic black and white tweed sets and cropped jackets with golden buttons, showcasing intricate details inspired by the palace’s furniture. Silverware took center stage in the collection, with golden spoons and forks applied to dresses and jackets.
GCDS took a completely different approach, transporting the audience to a fantastical realm. The show began with a misty, red-glowing door, from which fantastical creatures emerged. Sleeping beauties donned mohair-fringed cutout playsuits in pastel shades, while witches appeared in glamorous dresses adorned with big bows. Hooded women resembled Yetis in long-haired or curly wool pink dresses. Superheroines also made an appearance, with Catwoman sporting a blood-red pair of boots over a pink mesh jumpsuit.
Plein Sport opted for a digital dimension, immersing the audience in a futuristic metaverse. The show took place in a transformed Milan hotel space, with numerous screens creating a spaceship-like atmosphere. A humanoid metallic robot named Romeo 0.1 introduced Plein Sport’s NFT and metaverse projects. Through its digital implementations, Plein Sport aims to become the most technologically advanced brand in the luxury sector. While their focus has mainly been on virtual sneakers, the brand’s vision suggests exciting possibilities for bridging technology and luxury fashion.
These presentations showcased the creativity and innovation that Milan Fashion Week is known for. Moschino embraced a kitsch and baroque-inspired aesthetic, while GCDS transported the audience to a fantastical realm. Plein Sport pushed boundaries by immersing the audience in a digital dimension. These brands demonstrated the endless possibilities for expression and exploration in the fashion industry.
