The Best (And Worst) of Milan Fashion Week S/S 21

Rounding up Milan's S/S 21 digital and physical offerings, Calum Knight and Hetty Mahlich discuss whether the Italian centre of fashion is stuck in its ways. They note the successes of those who experimented with alternative mediums, from the GCDS virtual CGI runway and Jeremy Scott's front row featuring a miniature Anna Wintour, to A-COLD-WALL*'s three-part film and Marni's creation of a global dialogue via their Marnifesto. With Versace, Fendi and Valentino choosing to hold live streamed runway shows, Knight and Mahlich also talk about what warrants a physical show in the current climate. With the schedule overshadowed by the debut of Raf Simons as co-creative director at Prada, Milan also marked a turning point. Knight and Mahlich discuss what this new partnership means for the industry.
