Philosophy's creative director
Lorenzo Serafini celebrated the concept of movement through soft
and ethereal materials such as silks, lace and chiffon to "help
women find a peaceful mental state" in his spring-summer 2025
collection presented Thursday in Milan.
On the catwalk, Serafini showcased the most lightweight silks
that "balloon like a parachute" to "celebrate femininity"
through grace.
Essential lines and a palette dominated by white were an ode to
elegant simplicity as a "sense of reaction to external
challenges" in troubled times to help wearers experience a
"mental state of serenity", Philosophy's director said.
And on Wednesday night Milan Fashion Week paid homage to one of
the protagonists of Italian fashion over the past fifty years,
Roberto Cavalli, who died on April 12 this year at 83.
In the first fashion show since his death, Fausto Puglisi -
today the creative director of the brand founded by the
Florentine designer - presented seven iconic vintage dresses
that have made the maison's history, worn by celebrated
supermodels Mariacarla Boscono, Alek Wek, Karen Elson, Eva
Herzigova, Joan Small and Isabeli Fontana.
While paying homage to the Cavalli heritage, Puglisi's runway
offering also vied to attract a younger generation.
The collection progressed from cotton and linen dresses fit for
beachwear with cutouts and rope details to sexy dresses in
sunset and volcano patterns and trademark body-hugging gowns in
a bright palette or encrusted with crystals.
