CHIAVARI, Italy - Fashion Week
in Milan is always interesting, but sometimes not for the reasons you might
think. No one can deny that the Milanese have a unique fashion style all their
own, it probably comes from being surrounded by some of the best fashion
designers in the business.
A walk around town, especially
in the area of Via Montenapoleone, will take you past shops selling Gucci,
Ferragamo, Dolce and Gabbana, Armani, Versace, Moschino and yes, even Chanel
and other brave French labels. As the Milanese pass the fashion packed windows
day after day, month after month, they can’t help but be influenced by the
constant reminders that in this town, fashion rules.
Even when fashion buyers and
journalists covering Fashion Week get to Milan, they put a little extra effort
into what they wear. They seem to gain courage just being in town and put away
their little black outfits and opt for something with a little more pizazz.
As for the Milanese, well, when
Fashion Week rolls around, they feel all the more compelled to dress for the
occasion and pull out all the fashion stops. Sometimes the street fashions are just as
interesting, if not more, than what the designers are sending down the runways.
These photos will give you an
idea of what people on the street were wearing during the most recent Fashion
Week in Milan.
