We’ve selected some of our favourites from Milan Fashion Week that have given us some great ideas for Spring/Summer 2019. Let’s begin!

Alberto Zambelli’s Spring/Summer 19 show was inspired by an Italian sculptor Antonio Canova which was evident throughout the collection. Dresses with visuals of stone sculptures, combined with the exploration of how white mutates into a plethora of shades made for an interesting show. Silver ruffles, iridescent layers and silky fabrics draped over the models made them look as if they were beautifully carved marble creations themselves. This collection overall has provided us with an elegant direction for spring and we’re truly inspired.

Albino Teodoro gave us some extremely on trend prints: tartan and stripes paired with bold navy blue, deep red with dashes of pastels made for a simple but extremely wearable collection. The ruffles gave us aesthetic design details, some silhouettes voluminous but elegant and contemporary. This stylish take on spring gave us beautifully tailored suits and a wonderful colour palette, showing us florals aren’t always the way to go and that spring can hold bold shades just as well as any other season.

A concoction of warm earthy tones, denim and embroidered flower dresses hit the runway at Fendi. We were presented with transparent PVC garments with brown detailing, orange decals sporting the Fendi logo were perfectly placed on sports-like shorts and bras. Pleated skirts and graceful floral spring time dresses provided a perfect balance of stylish street wear and elegant touches.

A beautiful springtime colour palette of blues, yellows, whites and a hint of black showed us that pastels paired with darker tones creates a highly wearable range of garments. Jil Sander came through with a collection of woollen dresses, oversized shirts and pleated skirts, spring has never looked so classically stylish. Looking for a sleek, contemporary look for spring 19? Jil Sander has it in the bag.

Max Mara gave us coats, coats and more coats…and we loved it! A plethora of different styles of trench coat wondered the runway: in bright yellow, brown, navy and white we got another colour scheme that we’re obsessed with. Avant-garde sleeves gave interesting silhouettes to some of the collections coats, whilst others were nipped in at the waist and the sleeves pulled up to the elbow offering a flattering silhouette. Classy and effortlessly stylish, Max Mara has come through with another wonderful collection.

Edgy and chic: N°21 showed a collection that would surely have heads turning. Opaque PVC and patent leather fabrics in the form of dresses and coats were complimented with harnesses of diamonds giving us a rich luxe feel. Along with black, white and beige this collection boasted bright pinks and deep emerald greens. Coats that had interest in their silhouettes were complimented with classy dresses over the top of white t-shirts giving us an edgy 90’s vibe which we’re subscribing to.

Alberta Ferretti showed a collection of flouncy spring dresses, looks that mimicked a relaxed explorer vibe. Cropped jackets, sandals and cargo-style trousers gave us casual but stylish looks. Ferretti’s spring dresses had an air of elegance about them: in a variety of colours they floated down the runway, the pastel ones giving off spring day vibes, whilst the black sheer dresses ooze sex appeal. This collection gives us a lot to choose from and we’re loving the choice.

Stay tuned for more appraisals.

Milan Fashion Week has sadly come to an end, but that doesn’t mean we’re moving on. A bountiful display of Spring/Summer 2019 looks gave us a plethora of inspiration and must-haves for the new season to come. Here is a shortlist of the most enthralling.

Philipp Plein

Studs, sparkles and spikes: Philipp Plein showed an edgy runway complete with camo printed garments, studded rocker chic jackets and spiked over the knee boots. This collection is a glamorous rock and roll offering for spring: PVC, leather and Metallica font, we don’t know about you but we’re ready to rock it.

Versace

Versace’s runway show was a collection of bright floral prints, trippy tartan and layers of bold colour. Bright dresses with matching trainers graced the runway, models wearing matching checkered suits complimented the variety of prints that were shown. Chunky heels, neon green and cute florals gave us a kind of 90’s feeling, and let’s not forget the sultry black dresses nipped in at the waist and split up the side that created a wonderfully flattering silhouette.

GCDS

Khaki, collars and camo: GCDS gave us smart skirt and crop top combos, high fashion boiler suits and over sized clean cut coats. Not forgetting the hint of neon that dazzled the runway. Knee high lace up boots complimented the bright colours perfectly, giving the ensembles an element of street style. How can we forget though, the under boob trend making an appearance but with a twist: 3 boobs. Add a hint of Pokemon and you’ve got an exciting and interesting collection. We’re loving this straight out of the year 3000 vibe [cue Busted] and will happily take on some neon this spring.

Prada

In search of some alien-esque glasses? Prada has exactly what you need. Alien eye sunglasses complimented the models’ spring fashions. Knee high socks and berets were among some of the other accessories that flattered the spring collection. Sleek coats and collared shirts juxtaposed with bright tie-dye-sque dresses made for a collection that offered us tremendous choice. Not forgetting the eye catching repeated prints along with bright greens and oranges this collection gave us some fashionable must-haves.

Emporio Armani

Standing out in bright blues and greens, the Emporio Armani runway radiated with splashes of bold colour complimenting neutral shades. Floor length fringe dresses in shimmering blue gave us a glamorous but fun aesthetic. Snakeskin print jackets in unnatural colours paired with pointed shoes showed a chic neon look. As well as the neon though we were given soft and flowing muted pastels, a more traditional take on spring.

Moschino

Colouring outside the lines: Moschino SS19 gave us scribbles and sketchy prints in a marker pen fantasy. Clear coats coloured in with huge brush strokes, prints that look as if from a colouring book and a model who straight up looked like a mannequin, Jeremy Scott sent down models in a collection that was from a fashion illustration sketch book which had come to life.

Thimbles for hats, scissors as dresses: this collection showed us a fun and colourful take on spring- who wouldn’t want to look like a walking illustration?

MSGM

Inspired by the Depeche Mode song ‘Dream On’ MSGM gave us a collection sporting the message to ‘Dream! Dream! Dream!’. Knitted dresses and soft florals showed us a bright and high fashion take on spring. The florals were bold and almost looking like oil paintings, giving us a fantasy vibe which we adored. Orange, pink, blue, red and green this rainbow-tastic collection showcased tie-dyed garments, matching suits and PVC cowboy boots….Yes, PVC cowboy boots. Looking to appear a bold vision this spring? MSGM has everything you need.

Milan Fashion Week has proved to be full of bright and colourful incandescent incarnations, and we can’t wait for the winter to end..
