Milan Fashion Week is one of the four most awaited international fashion weeks. Not that the past years were any less enamouring than this one, but 2016’s runway trends have truly left fashion heads like me satiated and equally enchanted.
Salvatore Ferragamo’s Colour Riot
Geometrics and colours have perhaps never come together as beautifully as in Ferragamo’s latest collection. From wine hues to mustard tones seen on capes, skirt suits and A-line dresses, he keeps the colours bold and the cuts simple. After all who could balance colours better than the very man who created the rainbow shoe!
Yet if you’re staying away from adding more colour to your wardrobe, Ferragamo’s chessboard tops, tunics and monochrome separates will fit right in delightfully.
Marni’s Aesthetic Silhouettes
Marni’s Milan collection is a full-blown universe, complete in itself, for the fashion forward. From covering structured capes, blown-up and puff sleeves teamed with paperbag trousers and skirts, to putting together the most contrasting prints, there is flawlessness and unmatched appeal in every garment. It’s no exaggeration to say that this flow of creativity is like colours painting a canvas in drama.
Dolce & Gabbana’s Fantasy World
There’s just so much richness in this fall collection curated by D&G that’s inspired by Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, and Cinderella. This is a platter that serves variety; from creating floral wonders to bringing out feline prints, bedecking dresses with glitter to reinterpreting Disney’s celebrated princesses. The stunning incorporation of multiple textures, elements and fabrics make this collection worth cherishing for a long, long time.
Roberto Cavalli Revisits the ’70s
Cavalli’s smart brainwave of giving you a peek into the 70s through a modern day glass is quite commendable. You’ll see thin scarves wrapped around necks, but not without fur sitting on the shoulder. You’ll see a whole lot of velvet, which is balanced by faded denims. Masterpieces crafted to depict vintage, yet laced with touches of contemporarystyling make for a seamless blend, that’s also easy to adapt to.
Moschino’s Burning Hot Style
We didn’t really know what to make of the theme ‘Bonfire of the Vanities’ until we laid our eyes on these models wearing clothes that are literally on fire. A true celebration of Renaissance, you’re treated to burnt dresses that could never have looked fashionable in your imagination. But reality couldn’t be more fashionable. This collection evokes grunge and chic together. Oh and don’t miss the bold messages on his clothes. Moschino’s street style is here to stay.
