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.

The color palettes throughout Milan Fashion Week this season have been very cohesive overall, but one tone definitely stands out from the bunch. A color that seemingly all designers are choosing to incorporate in their most recent collections for Spring 2017 is royal blue. This specific color seems to always be in style come springtime, but it seems to be even more prevalent than usual for 2017, at times taking on chambray and dusty iterations. Giorgio Armani’s latest offering was inspired by the word “charmani,” to which the designer gives the meaning of “the lightness of the body, seductively revealing itself, finding a new balance between discipline and freedom.” Many of the pieces featured the royal blue color, meant to evoke images of moonlight on the sea.
Similarly, Sportmax was also inspired by the sea, showing a sequence of fish-like silhouettes in dark blue hues. Jil Sander offered a slightly more minimalist approach, with clean lines, and the ever-popular, classic loose fitting spring silhouette. Ports 1961 showed a vacation-inspired collection, sure to take fans of the brand straight through winter and back to the warm summer months. Beachy stripe prints in royal blue and white also took over the runway, with one model even carrying a matching lounge chair with her.

The Show: Max Mara Fall 2013
The Theme: Bauhaus oversized and layered
The Color Palette: Camel, mustard, brown, navy, grey, and black
The Collection’s Best Look: Max Mara went for chic comfort referencing the Bauhaus movement by layering coats with voluminous proportions in largely monochromatic looks from the label’s signature camel hue, to mustard, brown, navy, grey, and black. Known for outerwear, the collection presented many variations of its signature coats, from alpaca peacoats, to windbreakers and parkas. These cozy pieces were combined with oversized sweaters and pants or pencil skirts complete with a crocodile handbag done in a matching color. Even the evening looks did not sacrifice style for comfort with loose velvet pants paired with a cable-knit sweater. With this collection, Max Mara has provided women with a very stylish way to brave any storm they must face.

The Jil Sander House is a force in the luxury fashion industry, helping to bring the minimalist aesthetic to the forefront. Fall/winter 2012 marches ahead with the continuation of the Jil Sander Navy line, a diffusion line that offers more easy-to-wear options but sill remains true to the brand. Expect structured separates and muted prints as well as chunky creeper-esque shoes and leather bags with an element of sophisticated, yet schoolgirl nonetheless joviality. Jil Sander Navy is available online and at Jil Sander boutiques, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Nordstrom.
