LET’S GET ITALIAN
TRENDS, DESIGN & FASHION ALL IN ONE
Milan, the city of design, the epitome of luxury. New trends are
appearing every day, all around the world, but it all comes down
to Italy this year. The birthplace of some of the best luxury design
brands, from Versace and Gucci in fashion, to Minotti and Baxter
B&B Italia, Ipe Cavalli, Visionaire, Poliform in furniture decor, Italy
is known for their fashionable and stylish take on design. In 2019,
it’s all about the excitement, the nostalgia of velvet, the bold colours
and the clean natural lines. As nostalgia is nothing new, this throw-
back might just be the reason why you should be on the lookout for
Milan Design Week.
Design in Italy starts with fashion. Born from a simple fabric and
pattern, it all comes to life on the world’s most exciting runaway.
This year is all about velvet, round and curvy shapes, clean lines and
bold colours. One look and it takes us to the sunny Italian squares,
the daring patterns and colours worn by the fashionable Italian
women. This year, design is luxurious and exclusive. Gucci knows
how to create this in the best way, bringing extraordinary vintage
cuts and turning into fearless, incredible clothing lines that are al-
ways ready to impress. A little bit of imperfection actually makes
things perfect. That’s one of the mottos of one of the leading fash-
ion brands born in Milan - Versace. The 2019 ready-to-wear collec-
tion is all about nostalgia. An unlikely fit, but fitted nonetheless,
music, grunge and the growing 90’s flair are back in full force. Ap-
pealing to a younger generation, Donatella Versace brings the uber
glam into oversized safety pins and bondage harnesses, Versace’s
design staples. Event though it is in the eye of the storm of fashion-
able Italy, Milan is not all about fashion. Luxury brand Fendi Home
is just one of the leading interior design brands you should always
be on the lookout for. With plenty to please the eyes, the Milanese
brand is focusing on urban fittings and the atmosphere of blue skies
around the aura of New York.
Clean lines and soothing, pleasing designs take this to a whole new
level. Minotti is also taking this reality to a whole other level. When
creating this world of design with the most fashionable in just one
simple piece, they bring a story into people’s homes. Keeping it
stylish with a velvet touch, luxury brands like Minotti and Fendi
