From babes in arms to an elegant senior, the runways were a family affair over the weekend at Milan Fashion Week. Dolce & Gabbana celebrated motherhood with crayon prints and a backdrop of women and kids (including 11 models who appeared with their own children), while Irving Penn muse Benedetta Barzini, now 71, closed the Antonio Marras show in an embellished floral coat. Both were uplifting experiences that seemed to say that fashion is for one and all. And what exactly will we all want to be wearing in the days ahead? Browse the gallery below for our roundup of the top nine Milan Fashion Week trends for Fall 2015.

Patchwork Etro Fall 2015 There wasn’t a scrap of wool, fur, or leather wasted in Milan. Anna Wintour wore a patchwork leather coat to the Dolce & Gabbana show, but there was plenty more at MSGM, Etro, Ferragamo, Antonio Marras and Pucci, among many others. It’s all part of the ‘70s trend that is still going strong, especially with endless shades of brown.
