FASHION TRENDS AT MILAN FASHION WEEK FALL/WINTER 2014...

Milano... Mmmmm... Such a special and fantastic place mostly when it comes to FASHION. We could say it is the paradise of PRÊT-A-PROTER, like Paris is the paradise of haute couture and London of avant-garde. How can I forget my days as a fashion student in that city… Uffff… It posseses such a powerful fashion vibe capable of changing anyone’s world forever; believe me, I am a witness of that wonderful phenomenon!

From February 19th to the 24th 2014, the Milanese catwalks once again delighted the fashion industry public with impeccable craftsmanship; mostly when it comes to revealing EXCELLENCE through fabrics, techniques such a tailoring and detailing; and of course, taste.

Here are some of the most gorgeous FASHION TRENDS seen in our beloved Italian city…

ANIMAL ALLURE

Images of beautiful ANIMALS, wolves, squirrels, swans, birds… Added their special magic to sweaters, skirts, dresses and coats… Designers showed an inviting fascination for nature we will be more than happy to welcome into our FASHION REALITY… Simply perfect!

ETHNIC ELEGANCE

Gorgeous abstract prints and detailing talked about an attraction to ethnicity we cannot resist to, especially for the craftsmanship of it all. Even the most pro-simplicity fashion lover would give up and embrace this elegant temptation… Uffff… (Images: Angelo Marani, Etro, Marni & Pucci)

GREEN FASCINATION

Military, olive, lime, mint or even neon GREEN were everywhere in the Milanese catwalks. Fabulous combinations of GREEN hues or mixed with other colors, GREEN is a synonym for life; and that is exactly what we need in our fashion mojo; so rock it on!

DELIGHTFUL EXCESS

MAXIMALISM seems to be a must, materialized in LOTS of FUR, COLORFULNESS, BAROQUE EXCESS, GEOMETRY, XL divine pieces and/or hard LAYERING… We saw plenty of MAXIMALISM in London, we see it here again… So let’s keep this MORE IS MORE party going! Live it up! (Images: Roberto Cavalli, Fausto Puglisi, Phillip Plein & Blumarine)
