Pet Shop Boys' "It's Alright" delivered Frida Giannini's message for today, as Milan's arch-eighties aficionado presented a collection of clothes inspired by power pop, the most optimistic face that new wave ever offered to the world. The shiny, tight little jacquard suits, the primary-colored shirts (Kelly green a particular aide-mémoire for Those Who Were There) matched with skinny ties, the leopard-print knits, the two-tone loafers, the tonic jeans, the checkerboard trim on a cardigan…ah, the memories came flooding back. The Lurex! The leggings! The Lurex leggings! Frida didn't miss a trick. She even managed a coat in a maroon mélange that hasn't been seen since the sun set on Danceteria.
