Trends From Milan Fashion Week SS15

Milan FW SS15 MAin The fashion circus moved on to Milan this week and the Italian designers didn’t disappoint. Many of the main designers didn’t reflect trends but instead stuck to the style they are well-known and loved for. Alberta Ferretti’s blush coloured outfits were etherial while Moschino Barbie girl added colour and a cartoon edge to the catwalk. Salvatore Ferragamo’s beautifully cut dress were sophisticated and flowed beautifully and it was muted yet familiar patterns at Missoni. Flowing gowns were de rigueur at Giorgio Armani while Emilio Pucci played with ornate decorations on their dresses. Roberto Cavalli’s lace full-length dress made an impact as did Versace’s laser cutting.

Once again flat shoes ruled the runways with what heels there were being kitten heels. Hair was either tied back into a ponytail or left long and natural while make-up like the other fashion weeks remained muted and natural.
