Street style milan fashion week spring 2014 — Photography by Sophie Mhabille

Coats may have been the talk of the town in London, but accessories are the stars of Milan street style. Thanks to Paris-based photographer Sophie Mhabile, we’ve captured all the action from the first day of Milan Fashion Week Spring 2014, spotting Italian fashion bloggers and international icons alike outside the shows.

Bringing her grey twisted-sleeve Céline dress to a whole new level was Anna Dello Russo, who rocked another pair of furry heels as she swept the streets clean in Loewe black sandals, adorned with winged fur at the heels.

Sunglasses are a necessity when it comes to Fashion Week: with a sea of photographers crowding outside show venues, there’s nothing like a pair of sunnies to help shade your eyes from the constant flashes. While Italy’s It Girl, Eleonora Carisi of Jou Jou Villeroy added edge to her floral dress with mirrored cat eyes, Giovanna Battaglia rocked a fun pair of shades while showing off her bespoke Gio clutch, courtesy of her sister, designer Sara Battaglia who had her first presentation at MFW. (When can we put in an order for our own custom bag?)

Other standout items from this batch of street style photos include an ace of heart-inspired clutch, intricately designed lace bunny ears and a kitty purse. It certainly goes without saying that after day one, we’re eager to see what the rest of Milan Fashion Week has in store when it comes to street style.
