What to Expect on the Fourth Day of Milan Fashion Week
Workweek’s over? Think again. Fashion Week is the week without end. At least the typical Milanese traffic abates a bit on Saturday.
The day starts bright and early at Bottega Veneta at 9:30, at its usual location some way from the center of Milan. Tomas Maier has made the label a paragon of high-design understatement, a logo-free luxury for those in the know. (There’s a reason it has made its tag line, “When your own initials are enough.”) At Jil Sander, too, pared-back purity is a virtue of the house.
Understatement is rarely the order of the day at Roberto Cavalli. More is more for the master of Milanese exuberance. Mr. Cavalli has already shown his secondary collection, Just Cavalli, a few days ago, for the younger Cavaliette; those who accept no imitations get their fix this afternoon.
Antonio Marras, the cult Sardinian designer, has a one-two punch: first his show, inspired this season by Benedetta Barzini, followed by an exhibition at his gallery and concept store, Nonostante Marras. The photographer Yelena Yemchuk, who worked on Mr. Marras’s ad campaigns when he designed Kenzo, shows “Dangerous Intruder,” a selection of watercolors and pencil drawings.
Fashion meets art, as it happens, is the order of the day. The same night, Tod’s sponsors Stardust, an exhibition of portraits by the photographer David Bailey.

An earlier version of this article misstated the photographer of the Stardust exhibition. He is David Bailey, not David Sims.
