Milan Fashion Week was filled with a sort of joyous excitement. There was plenty to celebrate, with the complete return to in-person shows filled with celebrities, including Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, Kate Moss and Carla Bruni. Avante garde looks were supplied by visiting British designer Matty Bovan and a stand out collection came from Bottega Veneta. There were also several significant style trends. Layered looks were prevalent, especially on slip dresses. Many designers showed monochromatic looks and a ‘space age’ techno white look stood out. After last year’s preponderance of mini skirts and short shorts, forties style pencil style skirts and dresses made a refreshing comeback.

The Layered Slip

In addition to Diesel’s denim heavy collection, designer Glenn Martens showed some other on-trend looks. Case in point, a lace trimmed slip dress in a placed print daisy print on a black background. Patent orange boots and a hand held satchel completed the look. At Sportmax, an asymmetric slip dress in lime green satin with mauve and blue lace trims.

At Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini, the designer was inspired by two iconic designers of the past, Giorgio di Sant’Angelo and Romeo Gigli. The result was a collection of slender silhouettes, enhancing the body. Look 11 was a mid-length dress in a stretch fabric with a Toile de Jouy print.
