whenever milan fashion week rolls around I always feel more inclined towards prints. It's something about that bold, brash Italian personality that we know, stereotypically, loves to slip into something as incredibly cliche as a leopard print jumpsuit or a camouflage dress. The girl who relishes itty-bitty polkadots and circle skirts with carnivale prints. Is this look compatible with my favourite fashion movement of the moment (I am loath to call it a trend lest I sound it's death knell prematurely!) - minimalism? I feel that, just like in Celine's resort collection, pops of colour and flashes of prints are allowed. Just a little bit of something different is often enough to make a Milanese-style impact.
And besides, as I learnt in philosophy 1001 a couple of years ago, how do we know minimalism if we do not know it's opposite? Meaning is relational. You can't have clean, pared back design without out-there, retro print-tacular brashness. The more, the merrier!
