1) Millennials Stole the Show

Perhaps it’s a sign of the times when Milanese designers who are known for their classic tailoring and older clientele begin to look to the younger generation. The teen heartthrob Shawn Mendes made a surprise appearance on the Emporio Armani runway, debuting the brand’s new smartwatch, and Dolce & Gabbana enlisted an army of young social media stars to model a collection that was labeled with the hashtag #DGMillennials. As Donatella Versace told T’s Alexander Fury, she’s “obsessed with millennials.” She reissued archival prints and logo tees (a request from Kendall Jenner herself) — with the aim of attracting a younger following. “I think we hold none of the power, designers, anymore,” she said. “Millennials. They have all the power.”
