Antonio Marras – Midsummer Night’s Dream Girl
Former Kenzo creative director Antonia Marras really brought us into his world for spring 2014. First off, there were people in full makeup and costume playing string instruments at the entrance, surrounded by shrubbery. They looked like they could have been plucked from an A Midsummer Night’s Dream cast, having been made up to look somewhere between human and animal.
Versace
Flower prints at Versace created a grungy effect, appearing on black T-shirts worn with skintight shorts. Designer Donatella Versace sported one of the black biker T-shirts for her customary appearance at the end of the show, after models strutted down the runway to the track “Versace” by U.S. rappers Migos featuring Drake.
Bottega Veneta – Smart Proportions
In a season filled with light, delicate looks, Bottega Veneta’s Tomas Maier managed to create springy wares with substantial weight to them–a testament to his and the house’s longstanding skills with fabric and tailoring.
Roberto Cavalli- Cavalli-Wood
Roberto Cavalli sought to entertain with his spring 2014 collection for his namesake line. And entertainment seemed to be his inspiration, with movie lights shining down on his models and booming, cinematic music setting the scene.
