Blazy, with his fount of ideas, belongs firmly in the future camp.

On the subject of the future, Im looking forward to seeing where Adrian Appiolaza takes Moschino.

(His Diesel show was a blast, by the way.

Bally: Simone Bellotti is doing a great job, and his sophomore collection simply confirmed it.

He wasnt gimmicky at all.

I believe Appiolaza got the message.

Matteo Tamburinis was a fully-formed debut, totally confident and aligned with Tods raison detre.
