Balmain, Louis Vuitton and Czech Jiří Kalfař
Balmain, Louis Vuitton, Moschino, Giorgio Armani, Céline, Givenchy, Thom Browne, Valentino, Roland Mouret, or Czech designer Jiří Kalfař. This is just a short list of all the designers who have presented extravagant metallics this year.
Fashion from sci-fi movies is here
Looking at the luxurious glossy silver models, we recall all of the sci-fi movies like Star Wars: The Return of the Jedi, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, X-Men, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Logan's Run, Saturn 3, Battle Beyond the Stars and Barbarella, or the Star Trek and UFO series, with tight overalls, sharp cuts, striking applications, and non-traditional materials. Is the similarity purely random? We doubt it!
David Bowie knew it all along
But let's not just look into the future, remember David Bowie alias Ziggy Stardust? Even during his time, in the crazy 80s, metallic was a hit. The summary is clear. Metallic outfits are indelibly written in history and only one rule applies to them: They have always been here and always will be...

Whatever shines like a diamond is mine!
If you agree with the old magpie saying, the upcoming season will be perfect for you. Gloss, glitter, sequins, and giant stone applications on virtually everything. Yes, the "disco trisco" party is about to begin.
My top choices? Definitely the golden-blue mini dress from Valentino complemented by feather sandals. An unbelievably luxurious look perfect for visiting Monte Carlo! Next, the silver dress with an infinitely deep neckline and very provocative fringes from Givenchy...As soon as you put them on, you will definitely be the biggest star of the evening. Finally, I cannot forget to mention the bright blue pants with the golden corset from Jiří Kalfař. Ideal if you do not want to go to a bigger event in another dress...
And now let's break down the fashion week NONSENSE. In my opinion, an absolute misstep was presented by the fashion house MOSCHINO. Silver scissors? Or the bright golden dress with a thimble on the head ... From my point of view, an absolute error.
Next, I would also avoid the silver vest from Proenza Schouler, in which one would look like a shabby version of Michal David from the 1980s. And last but not least I say no to the frilled golden robe from Rodate. Because their bright golden fabric reminds me of a golden version of the common aluminum foil. And that's something you really don't want to wear.
The absolute HITS and FLOPS of the collection according to Ornella can be found at the beginning of the gallery under the article.
