Recent fashion decades are as popular as cappuccinos this Milan season. Not at Agnona, where Stefano Pilati referenced the gold patinas, mythical lotus blossoms and bandaging of ancient Egypt. “There’s no need to go retro if you refer to that,” he mused.

He incorporated spiral cuts into sleeves, and slashed short capes and skirts in bonded gabardine, yielding unusual volumes and portholes. These were among the more “editorial” looks styled on mannequins in Agnona’s pop-up boutique, climaxing with a trio of wet-look sequined dresses in Nefertiti colors.
