MILAN (Reuters) – Models walked down an empty theater that shut down the coronavirus pandemic for Valentino’s latest collection, and in a Dolce & Gabbana show they were mixing with robots in a similar setting disco how the curtain came down on Milan Fashion Week on Monday.
Valentino praised cultural venues including cinemas and theaters that have been closed for nearly a year, holding a lively concert with black and white clothing in a largely empty Piccolo Teatro .
Valentino’s autumn / winter 2021-2022 collection blended long, evening lace dresses with short skirts and capes. His decision was to present the show where he performed an act “of love, to continue a culture. ”
In contrast, bright colors, leopard prints and glossy gold and silver coats and flowers featured in the Dolce & Gabbana show, which was streamed live on the brand’s website and social media.
The pair’s creations included jackets with large shoulders in a knot to the 1990s, faux fur and mini-dresses resembling space suits. Seasonal plastic coats were similar to the protective devices that doctors would fight against the virus in hospitals.
Models repaired by two small robots created by the Italian Institute of Technology to celebrate the work of Italian researchers in robotic technologies and artificial intelligence.
The demonstrations ended six days of digital demonstrations as a result of COVID-19 restrictions, which were further curtailed by the Roman government over the weekend due to an increase in the number of infections.
