EVERYONE WAS TALKING ABOUT…
Optimistic bright, blasting colour; Miuccia’s “minimal baroque” collection for Prada; the fact that Milan is back on top; and, of course, where to go for dinner!

POP goes Milan! Shock waves of jolting colour have electrified Milan Fashion Week!

The Jil Sander show on Saturday was an explosion of color and volume and is sure to go down as one of the most important shows of the season. Starting with simple white tees paired with flourescent maxi skirts, the mind-blowing DayGlo combos just kept on coming!  Couture silhouettes from the ’50s and ’60s mixed with tailoring and sport-utility touches. Love the fluorescent soles on neutral pumps, the stripes and flouro-florals, and bright nylon shopping bags. Simple, saturated and strong!
