After New York and London Fashion Weeks last week it was Milan’s turn. The
city of Donatella Versace, Giorgio Armani and Miuccia Prada; the city of
bling, expertly tailored suits and fashion items. Where as the look for
this coming summer in Milan was dominated by a fairly nude bohemian vibe,
the picture for autumn-winter is reversed.

1. Teddy Coat
Wide and fluffy, the teddy coat is one to curl up into. The most literal
version of the coat was spotted at Moschino, complete with cuddly ears. But
there were also variations of the teddy bear coat seen at Versace, Emporio
Armani, Gucci, Etro and Bally.
Bally – Moschino
2. Fluffy Shoes
There was a lot of attention paid to accessories in Milan, which is a no
brainer since the accessories such as shoes, bags and sunglasses bring in
the most revenue for the majority of higher end fashion labels. This season
in Milan high boots and long gloves were all the rage. The gloves were
beautifully paired with short sleeves at Prada, but most striking of all
accessories seen on the catwalk was the flurry shoes. Who would have
thought that shoes inspired by Star Wars’ Chewbacca would become a hit?
Fendi – Gucci
3. Structured
Directly opposite to the soft, fluffy image of the teddy coat described
above, comes a more structured look with architectural jackets and skirts
parading the runways. Karl Lagerfeld found inspiration in the new
headquarters of Fendi, whilst Consuelo Castiglioni for Marni had a strong
Amazonian in mind when designing the collection.

4. Playful
Fashion is a serious industry, but that does not mean that there is no room
for humor and lightness on the catwalk. Since Jeremy Scott took over the
creative helm at Moschino, the shows have become a happy culmination of
Milan Fashion Week. Donatella Versace took branding through social media as
a starting point and then added a cheerful wink to it. Dolce & Gabbana put
‘la mama’ at the center of it’s collection and used applications and
playful children’s prints on their designs.

5. Sweaters
The oversized sweater remains indestructible, and although the winters are
warmer, thanks our internal heating systems and temperature regulators, the
appeal of the detailed, spacious knits is still irresistible.
