Best Looks from Milan Fashion Week 2016

I decided to do something different this time. Rather than highlight collections or trends (well I can't help it I will inevitably do that too) I decided to post the individual looks that caught my attention during Milan #Fashion Week.

I mark my impressions and preference for each show I see as they unfold and then later look at the collections to digest them. Often I look back at my first impressions and discard the choices in favor of looks that needed more time and attention to fully comprehend. This time my contemporaneous picks were highly unusual so here there are:

Port 1961

Sportmax

Dolce & Gabbana

Marni

Max Mara

Missoni

Salvatore Ferragamo

Max Mara

Damir Doma

Fendi

Brunello Cucinelli

Predictably I gravitated towards the same trends and motives that ran through very different  collections and inspirations. I am definitively in for the layering -- both the monochromatic and the color variety. Also, the sweater craze appears to be here to stay, so I am getting in line though begrudgingly.

Here are some more ... I love the new wave vibe mixed with the unmistakable nod to the 70s and 80s that dominated the runaways in Milan.

Roberto Cavalli

Gucci

Giamba

Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini

Marni

Les Copains

Stella Jean

Bottega Veneta

Au Jour le Jour

Fausto Puglisi

Moschino

Roberto Cavalli

Dsquared

Blumarine

Fendi

What do you think? Yay or Nay...

I will be back with my picks from Paris soon.

Love, Mimi
