The first model wore a long white pleated skirt matched with a long white and black cardigan and a red top with a big pearl necklace, in a classical look.
But the conservative style was soon broken as she was followed by girls covering themselves with wide parasols, carrying arrows, wearing glitter leggings, long ruffled and flowered dresses, models with their heads covered in balaclavas, men in shorts and embroidered capes as well as models looking like farmers and maids.
Michele, who has been able to relaunch the brand giving it a new strong identity and a vintage, geeky-yet-chic look, dwells on the "complexity of existence and on its ambivalence and dualisms", the note adds.
Just across the street, models for Fay, part of Italian luxury group Tod's, wore masculine looks, inspired by the fashion of the 1990s.
Looks were mainly made from tartans, Prince of Wales check tweeds, angora wool and cashmere in the neutral tones of black, grey, blue and white with splashes of yellow and burgundy.
