IF BOTTEGA VENETA SS27 WAS YOUR FAVORITE...
You typically like your clothes to have that “undone” effect, but never accidental. You noticed the oversized coats tied up at the hem, the unexpected pastel layering and the slow transition of heavy leather to lace, crochet and fringe. You appreciate the craftsmanship and the little nuances of each piece, you’re not afraid of something slightly strange if it is beautifully made.
Your vibe? Artistic and effortless with a slight unexpected edge.
IF GUCCI SS27 WAS YOUR FAVORITE...
You don’t like to disappear in your clothes. You loved the contrast of oversized bombers and furs, with barely-there party dresses. You are a fan of excess and drama, a bold look that says “hey!” the moment you enter a room.
You appreciate an ironic mix of the glamorous and the whimsical. You’re most always the focal point of a room.
IF GIORGIO ARMANI SS27 WAS YOUR FAVORITE...
You like sophisticated, nocturnal glamour that isn’t overstated. You loved the black tailored suits, fluid silk gowns with a spray of metallic, and the edgy, darker side of glamour. A sharp, perfectly-tailored look is what you like best, as long as it has an effortless, mysterious air about it.
You’re most always polished, composed, cool and sophisticated. After all, what's sexier than "off-duty" elegance?
IF PRADA SS27 WAS YOUR FAVORITE...
You like your clothes to be simple, but not banal. Classy, but a little bit undone is the motto you use when choosing what to wear. Could it be that you love a little wild hair moment, just like shown on the runway? You give great importance to materials, that you love to use in contrasting way: thick leather, paired with lacy and satin bralettes.
You also do love a signature piece, to treat like a canvas from which you create your outfit. And maybe, it actually is a skirt, no matter whether midi or mini, floral or pleated like the one Miucca Prada considers “a T-shirt”.
IF MM6 Maison Margiela SS27 WAS YOUR FAVORITE...
You probably did explain to your non-fashion friends what the adjective deconstruction meant wayyy too many times, but their complains don’t stop you from raving about Margiela’s SS98 runway. You do not like to follow rules regarding the way to style your clothes: a shirt turned into a dress? Perfectly feasible. Shirt collars peeking on the side? Cool. Thick black sunglasses all day? Your uniform. You love to ignore proportion rules, making them your own and having fun with it, like you once used to do when playing dressup as a kid.
Your next buy? Definitely ultra skinny jeans and two belts to hold them.
IF ROBERTO CAVALLI SS27 WAS YOUR FAVORITE...
You don’t believe that overdressing is a thing. You love to stand out in a room, bringing a little bit of color and audacity. When you walk you like your clothes to make themselves known, fluttering around. You think prints are neutrals and you like playing around with different combinations of them. Colorscheme rules? You think they are a gimmick. Leopard, cheetah print and jacquard are perfect together. Everybody insists on calling you a drama queen, but they don’t get that strutting around in reallyyy low waisted jeans with golden appliqueés on and your thong peeking out is just your everyday usual.
After seeing this collection, you will definitely go buy a robe-like maxi dress just to hang in your apartment imagining you are in early 2000s LA.
IF DIOR SS26 WAS YOUR FAVORITE...
You’re drawn to clothes that respect tradition without feeling trapped by it. You noticed the shrunken Bar jackets, exaggerated bows, crushed tricorn hats and the unexpected contrast between aristocratic fantasy and everyday denim. You appreciate clothes with character. You like femininity, but with wit, drama and something slightly unconventional.
Your vibe? Polished and playful, with a theatrical and rebellious edge.
