Major trends at Milan Fashion Week spring/summer 2013

As Milan Fashion Week spring/summer 2013 draws to a close, we take a look at the key trends to emerge in the Italian fashion capital.

 Floral prints

As seen on the London catwalks last week, floral prints were big in Milan too. Blugirl and Just Cavalli collections featured watercolour floral designs awash with exquisite chiffon flowers painted onto lightweight separates.

 

Just Cavalli, Prada and Marni Floral prints SS13

Opting for a more oriental feel Etro and Marni presented models clad in rich colourful printed silks and kimono style jackets, representative of a Japanese water garden.

While Prada turned to the swinging sixties for inspiration, showcasing Mary Quant style flower power prints on outerwear pieces. 

Safari meets utility

Following the New York and London presentations, safari styles also appeared over in Milan. A new twist was given to the traditional safari as Italy’s finest designers Salvatore Ferragamo, Maxmara and Emporio Armani, fused utility style jackets with classic khaki and beige tonal safari shorts and belted skirts.

Bold stripes

 

Dolce & Gabbana, Moschino and Fendi Stripes SS13

Items with striped designs surfaced in the Italian fashion capital as leading designers Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi and Moschino sent models down the catwalk in bold stripy summer dresses, bright blocked matching tailored skirt ensembles and long jazzy blouses respectively.

Unlike the classic spring/summer nautical stripes, this season’s tones are all about bright colours such as zesty orange, light blue and sunshine yellow.

Embroidered laceRoberto Cavalli, Versace and Bottega Veneta SS13

Known for their great craftsmanship Gucci, Roberto Cavalli, Versace and Bottega Veneta showed off their exceptional skills presenting delicate embroidered lace collections for spring/summer 2013.

Favouring classic black were Bottega Veneta and Emilio Pucci who wowed their fashionable crowd with stunning colourful embroidered lace fitted dresses and sheer maxi-length gold embroidered evening gowns.

In contrast, Roberto Cavalli produced delicate embroidered lace trousers and blouses and in similar vein, Versace opted for a neutral colour palette to show off the trend. Nude embroidered lace hot pants and cropped top sets complete with matching kimonos were just some of the highlights.

Sea greens

Gucci, Missoni and Alberta Ferretti Sea greens SS13

Sea green shone through as the key colour for spring/summer 2013 at Milan Fashion Week. Alberta Ferretti, Giorgio Armani, Gucci and Missoni all included some of the shade in their collections. At the Alberta Ferretti show, we spotted pretty see-through short dresses in green.

While at Gucci a rainbow of colours sparkled on the catwalk, with gorgeous bright sea green/turquoise silk gowns as the show highlights.

Giorgio Armani and Missoni had pieces shimmering in sea green as both designers played with glittering fabrics, clearly inspired by exotic fish.
