Zegna couture opens Milan Fashion Week against arched facade

Not just trends, but also continuity, were in focus as Milan Fashion Week launched four days of menswear previews for next spring and summer on Friday. Fashion Week opened with the news that the Italian investment fund FSI has invested 70 million euros ($81 million) in the family-run Missoni fashion house, an important signal that home-grown funds were willing to pony up cash to help iconic brands make the generational transition. Meanwhile, Bottega Veneta announced the appointment of 32-year-old British designer Daniel Lee as its creative director, replacing Tomas Maier, the German designer who helped make ready-to-wear integral brand over a 17-year tenure.
