Top Fall 2014 Trends: 226 runway and street style photos of fashion month’s 10 biggest moments
See the top Fall 2014 trend slideshow »
Your first time at any international fashion week will teach you a valuable lesson: You need a fur. And not just any Margot Tenenbaum style granny hand-me-down. A fur so intricately patterned, multi-layered and artificially coloured, that it has to be designer. Given its place at the apex of the top Fall 2014 trends, you’d think recessionary times were long gone—it’s virtually everywhere, from a hyper colour mink at Altuzarra to a fluffy red dress at Prada. Wear it with caution or as Dior prescribes, dangle it over your arm like it’s no big d. Let the fur fly, scruples or otherwise.

Street Style, Milan: Fashion Week winds down with 42 last looks from outside the Fall 2014 shows
Photography by Team Peter Stigter See all the weekend looks from Milan »
A weekend of fashion in Milan brought out the sunshine and, of course, the obligatory bare legs. With the mercury rising (in Europe that is), the fashion elite geared up for what will probably be another sweltering summer and flexed their gams in playful and unique skirts and dresses.
The look of the weekend definitely seemed to be quirky skirts in an array of bright colours and unusual cuts, with nary a plain A-line skirt in sight. Just take a peek at all of the high-cut front slits, origami layers, with everything from a Joe Cool mini to an ankle skimming plaid kilt. Even Carine Roitfeld’s long black pencil skirt had a playful little side slit. Miroslava Duma on the other hand, kept things chic and simple in a variety of matching pantsuits, each featuring high-waisted pleated trousers and a loosely slung jackets.

Makeup trend alert: It’s all about painting your foreheads gold for Fall 2014
Photography by Peter Stigter
Spring’s molten-gold eye makeup trend is moving in a different direction for Fall 2014—like, literally moving across your face. It started in London at Simone Rocha, with M.A.C makeup artist Sam Bryant applying gold leaf to models’ foreheads. The look was intended to be haphazard, with some models getting “gold sweat beads” and others having more of a “full-on effect.” Should you want to try this look at home, proceed carefully: “Bryant said the leaf is so delicate that no one can breathe on it, and if the girl’s skin is too hot it won’t stay,” reported WWD.
A more DIY-friendly approach to the forehead-anointing trend was spotted this weekend in Milan. Ten models at the Emilio Pucci Fall 2014 show were given a splash of gold above their brows and down the bridge of their noses.

Milan Fashion Week wraps today but we don’t have to wait till sundown to tell you the trends. Mother Nature was a heavy presence with some designers citing the elements as inspiration. Roberto Cavalli even ignited a giant ring of fire for the models to walk around (turning the tent into an oven, we might add). We also saw lots of fabric morphing and dark florals. Here’s what’s trending from the weekend’s shows:

Street Style, Milan: 21 photos of fashion week attendees wearing Prada and Fendi outside the brands’ Fall 2014 shows
Photography by Team Peter Stigter See the street style from Milan Fashion Week »
When you’re heading to the shows of some the biggest names in fashion, you had better dress the part. And that’s exactly what show goers did yesterday for the Prada and Fendi shows. The streets of Milan were practically a back catalogue of recent statement looks from the two fashion houses, with some of the greatest hits from Karl & Miuccia coming back out to play.
The coveted and desirable Fendi “bag bugs” from the Fall 2013 collection only to be matched by the brand’s latest incarnation of the furry accessory, the Karl Lagerfeld fur bag, designed by the man himself. We also spied an olive greet colour block dress from Prada’s Spring 2014 collection mixed in a thrifty move with a ringed fur stole from Spring 2011. Everyone’s favourite clotheshorse Anna Dello Russo, among others, toted Fendi’s Peekaboo fur bag to accent her canary yellow fur coat, while Leigh Lezark was in head to toe Fendi in an ombré-d layered dress and monster-like fur coat.

Would you actually wear Jeremy Scott’s first collection for Moschino?
Jeremy Scott made his much-anticipated debut for Moschino yesterday during Milan Fashion Week and it was just as cheeky as expected. Bookending a perfectly trendy ode to classic Moschino (the brand’s iconic logo belts were re-imagined on boots, skirts and crop bustiers), Scott served up faux-McDonalds uniforms, a Froot Loop peplum, SpongeBob SquarePants crop tops, a Hershey’s chocolate bar dress and a bridal gown made of an enlarged nutrition label.
Scott has built an empire on low culture Warholification, as evidenced by the stacked front row including Katy Perry and Rita Ora. And while we’re sure the dresses will end up in the rotation for pop stars, we have a hard time seeing them IRL on anyone other than Anna Dello Russo (she’s already paraded her favourite look on Instagram, obvi).

Day Two of Milan fashion week started and ended with a laugh: Cara Delevingne opened the Fendi show carrying a furry Karl Lagerfeld doll while drones buzzed overhead. And Jeremy Scott closed the day with a send up of McDonalds, Chanel and Sponge Bob for his Moschino debut. In between there were lots of shoulder details, shearling and digi prints to note.
But it was the early 20th century Constructivist art movement that turned out to be the word of the day. If it’s been a while since your last art history class, here’s a refresher. Constructivism is the early 20th century avant-garde movement characterized by abstract geometry. But it’s the description I found on the MoMa website that I want to focus on, one that depicts Constructivism as precise, impersonal, and having a clear formal order.
Now have a look at some of the abstract geometry from day two of the Milan shows:

Street Style, Milan: 20 shots of Euro glamour and designer umbrellas outside fashion week
Photography by Team Peter Stigter See all the looks from Milan here »
It’s no secret that the street styles of a city reflect its energy. In New York, we saw an influx of hood-inspired sportswear and in London, wardrobes took a turn for the eccentric, with quirky high-end touches giving a nod to its rich history of aristocracy and rebellion. So when the fashion jet set turned up for Milan Fashion Week Fall 2014, a city synonymous with polished-not-prissy women, we knew we were in for some refined European glamour.
On the first day of shows, the look du jour had a definite hint of ladylike elegance met with distinct masculine flavour and fun accessories. Prim jackets in a wide range of pastels matched the plethora of equally sherbet hued umbrellas, while tailored separates reigned supreme. Eva Chen shed her wacky New York duds, opting for a blush coloured cropped fur jacket with crisp tailored wide leg pants and light pink shoulder bag. Fresh of the Gucci runway, Anja Rubik wrapped herself in a loose-fitting double-breasted ivory blazer, a fur embellished skirt and a black Gucci Disco bag. If you needed any further confirmation that Milan is all about quality suiting, just take a peek at Linda Tol’s purple suit and buckled loafers—a modern take on classic Italian cues.
