The signs that this Missoni show would be different were evident from the moment we walked into the courtyard: pink pussy hats, the kind worn by women during the Women's March, sat atop staffers heads like feminist exclamation points at the end of a very pointed sentence.
As guests milled in and sat down, there they were: Little pink pussy hats of our own. Guests put them on immediately.
"Angela Missoni communicates the femininity of our times, prepared to confront the conflicts and dilemmas of our contemporary society: the conditions, needs and rights of all women and minorities" read the show notes.
As the show began and Gigi Hadid walked to the tune of The Revolution Will Not be Televised," it was clear: We've had our first political moment of Milan Fashion Week.
At the end of the show, guests, their pussy hats on, stormed the runway: a mini women's march on the Milan runways.
