Milan Fashion Week FW 14/15 - Trends We Loved

London gave us a splash of eccentricity, lots of shiny clothes and an abundance of blue in many shows, New York gave us a whole lot of plaid, fur and masculine trousers. Here's what Milan has to offer for the coming Fall.

1. A-Line stuff - Even though masculine silhouettes have dominated all the Fall shows, there's always room for a little girliness. The A-line cut is a classic and never goes out of style. We saw A-line dresses, skirts and jackets in a lot of the Milan shows so make room for some feminine clothes in your upcoming masculine wardrobe!

2. Embellishments - This trend seems to be a steady one. Lots of embellishments were in the SS 14 shows and the it isn't any different for the fall.

L-R: Emilio Pucci, Fendi, Gucci, No. 21

3. A splash of fur - While big fur coats were plenty in Milan too, some designers used a dash of fur as an accent. Its quite interesting to see fur used on the border of a dress like at Blumarine or made to look like giant pockets at Dolce & Gabbana.

L-R: Emilio Pucci, Tod's, Francesco Scognamiglio, Iceberg, Marni

4. Masculine coats - As I mentioned above, menswear has influenced women's wear majorly for the coming season. Outerwear, which usually is snug for women is getting bigger, more relaxed and resembling men's winter coats.

5. Suits - I'm loving the ever so evolving women's suits that I saw in Milan. Wearing a suit used to sound so boring. The usual grey, black, navy blue with zero character is out like disco. The new age suits are way cooler. Ankle length skinny pants like that those at Gucci or bright coloured wide legged at Pucci, blazers with big buttons like the red one at Versace or with contrasting lapels at Blumarine; this new suit is fabulous!

L-R: Iceberg, Jil Sander, Emilio Pucci, Versace, Gucci

6. Prints - Well, I told you I'll be repeating this trend and will probably do it again for my Paris trend reports. What can I do, all these designers just keep going crazy with prints!
