AW15 comes to Milan

And then it was the turn of Milan; the third leg in a most fashionable AW15 tour.  We take a peek at some of the trend highlights from Italy’s most important designers.

VICTORIANA
This trend takes its inspiration from the Victorian era. With high neck ruffles and leg of mutton sleeves, the look is both prim and modern.

FURRY BUSINESS
Teddy bear chic. Fur is no longer restricted to outerwear. We saw fur trims, hems, arms and bags – anything goes when it comes to fur for AW15.

ANKLE SWINGER
The culotte has been replaced by the ankle grazer trouser. Cropped is the length of choice even in the colder months.

THE ROLL-NECK
The biggest story for next season? The roll neck. The funnel neck. The polo neck. The turtle neck. This old classic has just become the new must-have monopolising the catwalks.

CHECKED OUT
Tartans, gingham and checks are a regular in the winter season – and this season is no different. Channel the Queen of tartan, Vivienne Westwood, and go big on checks.

70’S REVISTED
The 70’s have been making a reappearance and are now looking stronger than ever. Bring out your inner hippy and look out for boho chic, loose silhouettes, suede, roll necks, 70’s prints and square sunglasses.

COLOURED FUR
Inject some colour into your winter wardrobe with a pop of faux fur. Oversize, longer length and stripes get the thumbs up from the fashion pack.

CAPED CRUSADER
The smart girls cover up of choice. Ultra wearable, capes, cloaks and ponchos were a unanimous favourite on the catwalk; from a wizards cape at Pucci to the knitted poncho at Philosophy this is one trend you should buy into.

FRINGING
Fashion has a fringe moment. Tasseled hemlines, trims and boots danced down the catwalk – it’s playful and flirty. Time to get your swing on.

QUILTED
This is one trend that we are happy to wear – the quilted coat. Choose from the oversize puffa sleeping-bag style to the skinnier 90’s version aka Armani.

TEXTURE
Clash your textures – in fact, the more texture the better! Fashion gets fluffy, fuzzy and feathery on the catwalk.

PASTELS
Not a usual for the colder months, pastels take a wintery turn on the catwalk. Shades of sugary pink, mint green and duck egg blue will be a big hit in the next season.
