This week on the show, Chioma is joined by Laia Garcia-Furtado, senior fashion news editor of Vogue Runway. Laia recaps Milan’s greatest hits and the best of Paris so far, too. The highlight reel: Prada was ethereal, Dior was “witchy,” shorts are now pants, Peter Hawkings looks just like Tom Ford, and sage green is going to look good on you. There was also, of course, the stand-out Bottega Veneta collection, which was apparently, maybe, inspired by a heartbreaking breakup. Yes, it’s awful and sad, but it made for some great clothes, bags, and shoes.
Chioma then sits down with Maximilian Davis, the wunderkind creative director of Ferragamo. Davis, who is 28 and heading up a major Italian fashion house, just showed his third collection in Milan. He talks about using Carnival as a touchstone, and infusing his Trinidadian roots into his collections. Davis, like the rest of humankind, is Team Bey, and he says seeing the superstar in one of his looks during a Renaissance show brought him to tears.
And did we mention that Chioma wrote the Vogue digital cover story about Angelina Jolie, out this week? Chioma talks about what it was like to spend a day with the star (Jolie has a slim entourage and no PR, who knew?). Jolie is dipping her (tattooed) fingers into fashion for the first time with Atelier Jolie, so perhaps one day we’ll see her work in Paris or Milan.
