#5 Roberto Cavalli
Roberto Cavalli creative director Peter Dundas called his homecoming collection for the brand at MFW "an homage to the Roberto Cavalli woman — past, present and beyond," according to WWD. The fashion house's spring/summer 2016 range was inspired by the 80s (much like the season's collections from Prada, J.W. Anderson and Christopher Kane). The designer put a unique twist on body-con dresses, high-waisted jeans and leggings, sleeveless biker jackets, bandeau tops and rugged utility parkas.
#4 Marni
Consuelo Castiglioni's spring/summer 2016 collection for Marni was one of the most colorful to appear on the MFW runway. The billowing, over-constructed range was change of pace for a brand with a reputation for "woman-friendly" designs, according to Vogue. The show notes stated that Castiglioni worked on the collection reference-free. The range featured many flattened, 2-D designs — as well as elongated tunics, fluid trousers, long dresses in oversize sport mesh and chunky jewelry.
#3 Iceberg
For Arthur Arbesser's first collection for Iceberg, the designer embraced the Italian brand's heritage in knits and its reputation for color or pattern. The range was 85 percent knitted pieces, Arbesser told WWD backstage before the show, and was loosely inspired by the work of artist Enrico Baj. The stunning range grasped that motif with its striking vertical stripes, bold print on a silk dress, body-hugging minidresses and skin-tight jumpsuit.
#2 Prada
WWD called Miuccia Prada's impeccable spring/summer 2016 collection for Prada a "treatise on sartorial polish." The range focused on patterned, tailored suits, which were featured in unexpected checks, tweeds, stripes, leather, suede and transparent prints. The show also featured impressive accessories and fashion-forward, stunning styling. Unforunately, the designer herself was unable to be at the MFW presentation this season due to the passing of her aunt.
#1 Gucci
Alessandro Michele's collections for Gucci just keep getting better. The brand's former accessories designer has introduced a whole new aesthetic for the label that is being lauded by the industry. For MFW SS16, Michele told WWD that he sought to be "free in the idea of beauty." The cohesive collection was a combination of deeply researched motifs (like Chinoiserie, Egyptian imagery and femininity) and aesthetics from the Renaissance and 1970s — all with timeless wearabilty. It's no surprise that Michele also produced fresh accessories for his spring 2016 MFW range, but some of the designs have already fallen under controversy.
