Iris Law looked stunning as she arrived at the Tom Ford show during Milan Fashion Week on Thursday.
The model, 23, who was joined by Eva Green at the event, dazzled in a gold semi-sheer mini dress.
The metallic number featured a tasseled skirt and long sleeves, with Iris completing her look with heels and huge tinted sunglasses.
Meanwhile, Eva, 43, put on an elegant display in a black jumpsuit with a plunging key-hole neckline.
The actress accessorised her outfit with a chunky leather belt and a pair of matching cuff bracelets.
Milan Fashion Week launched on Wednesday with presentations from Iceberg and Antonio Marras, Diesel, Del Core, Roberto Cavalli, Etro and a debut from Marco De Vincenzo scheduled to take place throughout the day.
On Thursday, Max Mara, Prada, Emporio Armani, and Moschino will dominate proceedings at Milan’s the Museo della Permanente.
Tod’s, Blumarine, Sportmax, Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini, Gucci, Marni, Sunnei, MSGM, Versace, Philipp Plein, Ferrari, Ferragamo, Jil Sander, Missoni, Bally, and Bottega Veneta are also expected to showcase new collections over the course of the week.
Global retailers said they were hoping to place orders for bold, eye-catching styles at Milan Fashion Week for the autumn 2024 season, despite a recent trend for so-called “quiet luxury” designs characterized by understated elegance.
The clothing trade show, which starts on Tuesday, following New York Fashion Week and London Fashion Week this month, includes big names such as Giorgio Armani, Dolce & Gabbana and Versace.
Global luxury demand has settled down after a strong post-pandemic rebound, with consultancy firm Bain forecasting a “probable scenario” of a 1% to 4% growth in sales this year.
‘After a period where brands were focused on classicism and simplicity, on “quiet luxury” and timeless products, I expect a move towards more pronounced creativity,’ said Federica Montelli, fashion consultant and former head of fashion at Italian high-end department store chain Rinascente.
‘Given smaller retailers’ budgets, I hope they can find a push to go further (over that budget),’ she added.
The National Chamber for Italian Fashion said this year’s event is expected to attract more international buyers than it did before the pandemic, but did not provide figures.
Among those buyers will be Bosse Myhr, director of womenswear at British luxury department store chain Selfridges.
Myhr said he hopes to see a “fashion moment” for Belgian designer Glenn Martens of Diesel. The Italian streetwear brand sells shimmery denim jackets for $995 and stretched leather bootcut trousers for $950.
Some shoppers are tightening their spending on luxury goods amid an economic slowdown and rising prices, said Federico Giglio, chief executive of Giglio.com, an Italy-based retailer of high-end looks from Versace and Valentino, among other brands.
Given that, ‘what we expect from the collections is that designers come up with something new, which can motivate people to spend,’ he added.
