Famous designers on famous fashions
With the Fall 2004 season over big industry names offer wrap-up opinions
Originally Published: 2004-06-06

The Fall 2004 runways wrapped up several weeks ago in Milan, Rome, New York, London and Paris, but the buzz is still fresh. Some of the world's top designers offered their opinion on the major sfilate.

Tomas Maier at Bottega Veneta
"This collection was an homage to New York. The inspirations come from different parts of the city: architecture, music. And it comes across in the accessory palette, which is very bright and inspired by Times Square at night." (bottom right photo)

Christopher Bailey at Burberry Prorsum
"The coats are very much part of our history, our tradition. This season we were working on rich colours, Pop colours, lamés, and silk chiffons. I wanted the coats to become a part of that soft, light world." (centre photo right)

Michael Kors at Celine
"This was my last collection and it was the ultimate Franco-American mix. I think what I brought to the house was a sense that luxury could be comfortable. But in Paris, I learned about indulgence and charm. The French still understand that fashion can charm." (top left photo)

Phoebe Philo at Chloé
"The pants and cardigans were very masculine. There was a little bit of a grandpa feeling - or, even sexier - wearing your boyfriend's pants, which I've always loved the idea of: waking up with some gorgeous man and walking out with his clothes!"

Giambattista Valli at Emanuel Ungaro
"We have a very soft attitude, a little bit 18th-century, Marie Antoinette. There are some lingerie touches and some 18th-century cuts, like the redingote coats and jackets, worn with contemporary items like T- shirts or trousers." (bottom left photo)

Christian Lacroix at Emilio Pucci
"It's a winter, winter, winter Pucci. I wanted to show how to use and wear Pucci for the city, every morning, every day, with an easier colour range - not dark colours, but deep colours, forest colours." (top right photo)

Philip Treacy at Emilio Pucci
"The hats this season are Puccified menswear for women, because a man's hat on a woman can look sexier than a woman's hat on a woman."
