80s glam, fearless women and Italian souvenirs at Milan Fashion Week

  • 9 years ago
Milan fashion week held a few surprises for fashion houses reviving their reputations from Cavalli to Versace.

Missoni

The signature stripes of Missoni take on a tribal tone for next summer, as bold monochrome zig-zags gave way to explosions of colour, combining a palette of dark browns and blacks with red, fuchsia, as well as yellows, blues and greens.

Championing freedom of movement, the dresses were fluid, while trouser legs were wide and were matched with long, trailing barely-there knitwear.

Missoni said that for her, the ideal Missoni woman is ageless.

Dolce & Gabbana

Love was in the air at Dolce and Gabbana as the designers looked to their home country for inspiration for a holiday.

Their spring/summer 2016 collection was littered with selfie-taking models, Venetian gondoliers and gelato stands to make a postcard perfect picture.

No embellishment was safe from their wardrobe arsenal, with dresses showing a liberal sprinkling of sequins, gems and pom-poms.
