Return of the ‘70s

This season the seventies influenced many runways, and designers showed a lot of appreciation for one top textile- Corduroy. Prada displayed it in bulk, and both Etro and Trussardi presented this durable fabric in various colour schemes within an ultra-feminine theme.
Sheer Effect

Soft, feminine looks were at the forefront of Milan runways. Sheer, was a powerful counterpoint and designers went for long silhouettes that fully covered the body. Alberta Ferretti raised the bar with its striped ensemble, and others like Fendi and Versace went bold with decorative details.

The power suiting trend took Milan by storm, a trend that presented form and tailored jackets. This year, designers like Giorgio Armani, Missoni and Dolce & Gabbana featured an updated version of the classic fitted suit with a lighter and a more feminine approach.
Cozy Robes

Total Leather
