Philipp Plein SS/2023 RTW
Philipp Plein successfully made his grand return to Milan with his first full show since the lockdown and Philipp Plein focused on what truly mattered – the essence of his brand on the catwalk.
Before the show commenced, Plein took to the runway with a microphone, expressing his delight at seeing everyone back after the long hiatus. He emphasized that his shows are for those who love the brand, and a celebration of love and happiness awaited after the presentation.
The crowd erupted with excitement as Tommy Lee appeared, providing the energetic soundtrack from his drum kit on an elevated mirrored platform. Paris Jackson, one of the stars walking the Milan runway that night, debuted the first look, setting the tone for what was to come.
Plein described the collection as a tribute to rock stars and their unrestrained freedom. The runway showcased a fusion of heavy metal infused into leather garments and Swarovski accents embellishing denim pieces. The menswear and womenswear seamlessly merged, following the brand’s recent focus on Plein Sport.
The collection featured Plein’s signature opulent sportswear alongside lightning-inspired tailored pieces and moto-inspired designs. Notably, the brand showcased advancements in womenswear silhouettes and streetwear denim, reflecting a genuine ambition to expand the collection’s range and appeal.
As the show reached its climax, Philipp Plein and the models joined Tommy Lee on the platform. The audience rose to their feet, eager to join the festivities. The anticipation was palpable, as the other thousand guests prepared to revel in the extraordinary party that awaited.
Philipp Plein’s Milan show marked a triumphant return and a testament to the brand’s ability to captivate and excite. With plans to take his unique fashion mayhem on the road once again, including a highly anticipated show in New York next February and a resort show in Paris this November, Plein continues to push boundaries and redefine what it means to be a rock-star brand.
