The 80’s trend continued throughout Milan Fashion Week, this time with a heavy focus on silhouette. Often accompanied by vibrant colors and voluminous shoulders, labels such as Jil Sander, Emilio Pucci, and Roberto Cavalli featured wide belts cinched at the waist in their most recent collections.
At Agnona, a show inspired by the 70’s and 80’s decades, featured wide leather belts worn at the waistline over relaxed, voluminous shapes. At Marni, designer Francesco Risso included wide leather belts with oversized buckles with brightly colored vinyl coats in his collection titled “Technoprimitivism.” Similar looks were featured at Fendi, with wide, checked belts on display over patent leather trench coats of the same pattern.

Some key trends from New York and London carried over into Milan Fashion Week, while others were being seen for the first time on the runway this season. These newer trends though, introduced by Italian brands, were just as bold and statement-making as their predecessors. One major trend for spring 2018 in both clothing and accessories is the use of feathers. Designers like Alberta Ferretti, Dolce & Gabbana, and Erika Cavallini all debuted feather-detailed pieces in their latest collections.
Giorgia Tordini and Gilda Ambrosio of Attico utilized feathers in the form of a cream colored handbag that accompanied the styling in their retro-inspired collection. On the bolder side of things, Jeremy Scott of Moschino opened his show with an extra-voluminous tulle tutu coated in pastel blue feathers. Dolce and Gabbana‘s elaborate spring 2018 show, with a theme described as “Queen of Hearts,” included a multi-colored coat completely canvassed in feathers.
