The surge in discerning fashion consumers are prompting designers to look at making clothes differently (read: brilliantly). At Bottega Veneta, new creative director Matthieu Blazy is paving the way for fabric innovation when it comes to retrospective looks, like this season’s ’90s comeback.

The pursuit of chic daily dressing also saw Prada and Stella McCartney revive pared-down styles from their archives: the minimalist Noughties and sportswear fashion aughts, respectively.
