Move over New York and London- Milan has just made its most iconic fashion splash yet. There’s something about the spunky vibe of Milan, on and off its runways, that has made this the destination to watch when keeping an eye out for the bigger fashion houses. We think there’s a lot to be learned and implemented from the Dior and Versace of the world, and being one-of-a-kind is just one of them.

Here’s a compilation of designers and clothes we loved the most at Milan this year. Designers with ambition, take note.

  1. Gucci: When Gucci makes a statement, heads turn. Almost singlehandedly, Gucci took clothing from overtly suggestive to plain old, yet standout styles. One look at the whites and tans paired with signature motifs shows us that some fashion houses are more about subtle experimentation than others. The sleeves are the ones standing tall this time around.

  1. Christian Dior: When Dior’s in love with mesh, we know that the trend is here to stay. Casual is the name of the game for SS19, and what better way to do it than with one element in each outfit that grabs attention? We particularly love the understated elegance of the models themselves, allowing us to see outfits as they should be. We could take that blue top right there and think of ten different bottoms we can pair it with, using items already in the wardrobe. Now, that is versatility.

  1. Fendi: Fendi is one brand that knows how to have fun in the subtlest of ways. The Milan SS19 runway was full of looks ideal for the workplace, and even better for drinks after. These are clothes you can take to meetings and to holidays with equal panache. Peplum gets a new definition that the world will soon come to love, and we’re not complaining about the very versatile handbag/ phone holder/ fanny pack accessory either. In fact, give us just that.

  1. Emporio Armani: Armani gets a bit of a ‘not-so-couture’ rep, we think, because of the number of cheap fakes doing the rounds the world over. Imitation is the best form of flattery, so it is safe to assume that everyone adores this label. One look at the shiny jackets that imitate everything from animal skin to a backpack shows us that Giorgio Armani has the uncanny talent for drawing inspiration from just about everything and turning it into some gorgeously wearable works of art.

  1. Missoni: It was a relief to see Missoni on the runway, partly because of the dresses that are everyday-casual, and mostly because of the mesh detail done differently. When you’ve had too much mesh, turn to Missoni for some fashionable relief. The careful placement of prints and flowy silhouettes are made for the modern day Bohemian.

  1. Roberto Cavalli: What’s with the free-spirited vibes, everyone! Fashion labels always channel the mood of the season, and going by the Cavalli designs, 2019 looks like an excellent year for travel and exploration. Mirror work is not a Middle-Eastern trend alone anymore and can be adapted in the most diverse of ways. For those looking for more subtle statements, foil prints are in, too.

  1. Max Mara: Add Max Mara to the list of formal wear collections we absolutely love. The pants are getting shorter, keeping in mind the very diverse jobs that women today hold. These outfits are meant for action in the boardroom. The frills, the colors, the polka dots, the statement belts…we could just go on and on with the little details from this collection that everyone can find a way to adapt into their designs.

  1. Moschino: As the ‘LOVE MOSCHINO’ bags prove, this is one label that is not afraid to stand out every single time. And so it is with the Milan Fashion Week Collection. Why say jackets need to be held together with buttons alone? That red dress is going to make a lot of red carpet appearances soon, and a bralette in lace? Yes, please! Moschino’s prints are so commonplace yet so hard to replicate. Standing out and blending in, both are done right in this collection.

  1. Versace: Swearing allegiance by florals, Versace has a whole new take on them. Out go embroidered flowers, and in they come in black instead. A base of bright colors adds a significant contrast to a collection that otherwise risks fading out. Versace is known for exploring a woman’s sensuality like no other designer ever can, and the lace camisoles and thigh-high slits, artfully covered in long jackets, prove that point once again.

  1. Sportmax: A trip to the Hamptons next year is going to be woefully incomplete without at least one piece from the Sportmax collection. These clothes are what you wear when you head off to a game of golf, or lounging by the beach. Some of the elements like the sleeves are clearly drawn from Scuba gear, while others are more suited to cocktails and sunset. Either way, being outdoors is not going to be the same anymore, and you don’t have to play a sport to be part of the game.

  1. Salvatore Ferragamo: The colors of the outdoors are well-represented in the SS19 collection from the house of Ferragamo. These are beiges and tans that have been carefully chosen to represent the outdoors in as understated manner as possible. Paired with tropical prints in similar shades, it works magic simply by complementing the wearer’s skin tone beautifully.

  1. Dolce & Gabbana: Occasion wear has been done right with D&G once again. Here’s one design house that is loud, and unabashedly so. Operatic themes are evident, as are carnivals. Suits in gold and silver are most definitely gothic, as are doodle prints with lace. Channeling a bit of the dark side are the corsets and fringes, both of which remind us of Hotel California. With that collection, D&G takes a bow like no other house managed to this time around.

After the New York and London Fashion week, now’s the time to look towards Milan and Paris, as they present their forecasted interpretations.

The trends tend to overlap, but here are a few things that differed:

Gather the Pleats

Milan Fashion Week concentrated on a lot of silhouettes, but pleats were used by every designer in various forms. While some designers used light creases for pleats like Bottega Veneta, while Ferragamo brought grace through perfect alignment.

Paris Fashion Week showcased the other side of silhouettes; gathers. Givenchy and Nina Ricci among others united their personal inspirations and presented delicate and subtle styles in their collections.

Brocaded Denim

Milan brought forward the fabric of the kings and presented the richness of the colors, with their own creativity. Roberto Cavalli’s idea of the rich-poor combination was clearly seen in his collection with Prada creating striped brocade providing an edge to the fabric.

Paris Fashion Week concentrated on the denim fabric and was seen in every collection with different interpretations. While Chloe stuck to more modest designs, Yohji Yamamoto presented his creation that symbolizes the women of today; the perfect combination of feminist and freedom.

Tracks Vs. Pants

In Milan Fashion Week, track suits became a part of the collection in textures and fabrics that made exercising look appealing. Fendi concentrated on comfort and textures that would work brilliantly for a casual occasion. Moschino which is known for its womanizing way conveyed the barbie doll woman image.

Paris Fashion Week, decided to follow the pant suits style forecast and came up with designs like Elie Saab’s lace pant suit that convey feminine elegance and beauty that is beyond comparison. Christian Dior on the other side presented the serenity and the gentleness that describes the heart of the woman.

As the Milan and Parish Fashion Weeks end the collections of Spring Summer 2015, we get an insight to the designers minds and how they translate their ideas into something that creates worldwide following.

Jackets need no introduction. They have been on and off the fashion ramp for years but this season has seen the trend of cropped jacket in its various guises from bomber to blouson till now. GQ magazine claims that “the designers in Milan and Paris realize that some countries like our own are not blessed with a dry, Mediterranean climate all season long; sometimes a coat is essential even on the hottest days.”

Printed Jackets are the one that makes sense this summer with their light weight and digital subtle prints. This season the designers of high end street collections have joined hands to create a light weight outfit that truly saves one from the brazing rays of sun as well as is a little versatile addition to the already existing jacket wardrobe.

One of the biggest supporters of the long trend was Fendi who displayed their collection in Milan. Also on a lighter note, there were formal end of overcoat which when paired with cropped navy chinos does all the magic by itself. Also Fendi fell in love with the color Khaki and it showcased a varied range of casual knee length hooded jackets with a silver lining which is the contrasting lapels and linings.
