Next up was Zineb Hazim, whose capsule was called Abaya Street Couture. This was an articulation of culturally modest attire in powerfully outspoken colors and fabrics, integrating the abaya into looks running from uptown candy pink boucle coat and fisherman cap to studiedly nonchalant duster coat and overall. A lemon lined, pink silk slogan overcoat and a look covered with gold sequins from high heel to abaya were punchy, too.

Sheetal Shah, who arrived in Milan by way of India and the UK, presented a fresh take from her brand Curious Grid. The collection majored on carefully layered workwear in largely upcycled fabrics, sometimes tie-dyed, into which delicately moreish details such as the blue or yellow threading on denim jackets provided gentle elevation. You could see it working at Pitti, too.
The Etro veteran Italian-Cuban designer Romy Calzado called her capsule Cosmic Beauty and it featured two dresses—one split under the neck in a shades-of-blue camouflage jacquard, and one gathered and pulled by a button at the naval in purple jersey—featuring a dramatic shoulder shaped in eco-leather reminiscent of Ornella Muti’s looks as Princess Aura. A gray poplin layered shirt dress featured vaguely regal sash detailing and magisterially full sleeves to create a substantial and somewhat martial artsy silhouette.

Last in line online was Judith Saint Jermain, whose bags and brand story looked highly developed. The top stitching on a black half-moon bag echoed that of its accompanying knee-high boot, while the undulating brand pattern ran across a fitted knit dress and socks. Two more bags—one in a contoured, white, lips-shaped silhouette and one shaped like a denim patch pocket and featuring a patch pocket were fun and distinct pieces.
