ANTONIO MARRAS AUTUMN/WINTER 2015-16 READY-TO-WEAR MILAN FASHION WEEK "She's my friend, and a collection is the most precious thing I have to give her." That was Antonio Marras' heartfelt rationale for the show he dedicated to Italian style icon Benedetta Barzini. She posed for Avedon and Penn, hung out at Warhol's Factory, befriended Salvador Dalí. She ...

ANGELOS BRATIS AUTUMN/WINTER 2015-16 READY-TO-WEAR MILAN FASHION WEEK After last season's debut chez Armani Teatro—a sort of imprimatur—Angelos Bratis wisely decided not to stage another show.

Marni has always walked the skewed side of the street. But what did look new the minute Sophia Ahrens hit the catwalk today was the fierceness: Amazonian ...
