Yesterday we got a chance to go to two fashion shows and even an after party. The first fashion show was by Gazzarrini. The second show and after party were both hosted by Enrico Coveri. The venue for the first show was just amazing. It was at some sort of boat and plane museum and seemed to go perfectly with the show. It seemed as though at least part of the inspiration came from boats and a nautical look, and even the colors of the clothing just fit in with the colors around us.
I was especially excited for Enrico Coveri’s show today only because it also included women’s clothing. There was a well-balanced mix of both men and women and there was an array of bright colors throughout the entire show. I loved how the designer wasn’t afraid to use bold, 70’s inspired patterns. He would also take colors from the bold patterns to make pieces to mix into the entire collection. There was so much color everywhere you looked, but it was done in a high-fashion way.
I don’t think any course I have taken could have prepared me for witnessing something like this. I have never taken any event classes and retail classes alone don’t require fashion show sets. In many retail classes we have been asked to use the Pantone website. I’m sure the designers themselves don’t use this website when making their collection. But I can only imagine that this website comes from watching runway shows such as the two we saw today. First the designers make the clothes, and then it slowly trickles down in the retail industry. So I’m hoping that when looking on Pantone’s website for clothing trends and colors for 2012 or ever 2013, I will see things such as what I saw today.
