Milan Fashion Week wraps today but we don’t have to wait till sundown to tell you the trends. Mother Nature was a heavy presence with some designers citing the elements as inspiration. Roberto Cavalli even ignited a giant ring of fire for the models to walk around (turning the tent into an oven, we might add). We also saw lots of fabric morphing and dark florals. Here’s what’s trending from the weekend’s shows:
Nature walk
There were bunny print gowns and squirrel and owl appliqués with an artsy craftsy vibe at Dolce & Gabbana , Antonio Marras had wolves howling on the soundtrack and on silk coats, Cavalli did flame prints, and there was earth tone colourblocking at Missoni.
Dark romance
Aquilano Rimondi had boyish tweed coats with wide burned-out rose hems, MSGM did exploding rose prints and mirror appliqués that shattered into blooms.
Bleeding edge
Materials of different weights, moods and textures were fused, woven or otherwise seamlessly blended. Tweed, sparkle and glazed wool seemed to bleed together in a gray coat at Aquilano Rimondi. Pink swakara was melded into a camel coat at MSGM. And a feathery black pattern was woven through the mid-section of a loden coat at Ferragamo.
Fur
Bottega Veneta turned shearling inside-out for long, sleek coats, Marni strapped crayola blue and red fox around shoulders, Dolce & Gabbana had mink panties and fox hoods, Inuit motifs were set into furs at Pucci, Aquilano Rimondi added mink pockets to organza dresses.
Blurry prints
There’s still a whiff of spring’s art and digi print trends in the air, with smudge prints and blurry stripes at Marni, and paint swipes and abstract jacquards at MSGM.
3D
Embellishments ranged from fine-as-dust crystals on spray paint strips at Bottega Veneta to the all-over bling of Dolce & Gabbana’s “firefly” finale. Marni had tiers of feathers and straw-like fringe down the fronts of skirts and coats. Silver studs and beads were arranged into Native American patterns at Pucci.
