The Best Looks from Milan Fashion Week’s Spring 2018 Collections
Milan Fashion Week kicked off with Gucci, where show-goers were seated in a dark room with strobing lights and treated to a collection choc-full of sparkly dresses, over-the-top embellishments, and, of course, models clad in the latest update of the must-have Gucci logo top. Meanwhile, fashion royalty and young scions are also making their mark in the Italian capital. Kaia Gerber opened Fendi’s spring show in a nipped-waist stripe skirt suit, which will surely make mom Cindy Crawford proud. And when it comes to the fashion itself, feminine dresses, like those shown at No. 21 and Fausto Puglisi, were also a hit, as were Alberta Ferretti’s sexy black swimsuits, though you might need some supermodel genes to wear those. Check out all of the best looks from Milan Fashion Week, here.
1PRADA
Prada fans will have fun decoding the medly of references present in Miuccia Prada’s spring collection, but one thing is for sure – showgoers loved the clothes’ punk vibes and feminine touches.
2GUCCI
Though Gucci was definitely an extension of seasons past, you can’t deny the charm of an ultra-chic leopard print coat.
3ALBERTA FERRETTI
The Alberta Ferretti show opened with a series of ultra-modern black swimsuits, dying to become a wardrobe staple.
4FAUSTO PUGLISI
There was a feminine turn at Fausto Puglisi’s spring show, after Fall’s more over-the-top collection.
5NO. 21
Alessandro Dell’Acqua’s collection was light and airy, and featured subtle paillette and feather embellishments as well as lingerie-inspired pieces.
6MAX MARA
Transparent outerwear is officially a trend (you can thank Miu Miu for kicking that off for fall) and this Max Mara trench is a chic see-through option to try for spring.
7GIORGIO ARMANI
Giorgio Armani is known for his tailoring, and for Spring, he envisioned the Armani woman wearing a relaxed suit, big shades, and sneakers for a laid-back look.
8MOSCHINO
Perhaps the most Instagrammed look from the entire runway show, Jeremy Scott transformed Gigi Hadid into a giant size bouquet—a new take on spring florals.
9ROBERTO CAVALLI
Roberto Cavalli is practically synonymous with animal stripes and spots, and yet newly appointed creative director Paul Surridge created a tiger stripe coat that even those who tend to prefer a minimalist look could consider.
10EMILIO PUCCI
The spring collection for Emilio Pucci was all about a happy, pool-side vacation. This playful printed number is perfect for a get-a-way, while other looks featuring towels as hair turbans truly made us want to go for a dip.
11VERSACE
As a special tribute to her brother Gianni Versace, Donatella Versace revisited his archives and took her final bow with these iconic women – Carla Bruni, Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, and Helena Christensen – in Versce’s iconic gold dresses. “Freedom” was playing from the speakers, and was certainly a show to remember.
12TOD’S
The fringe bags, python touches and flat shoes were all highlights at Tod’s effortless spring show.
13JIL SANDER
In their debut collection for Jil Sander, Lucy and Luke Meier started with the basics by opening the show with a series of white shirts putting their mark on the houses staple.
14MISSONI
Angela Missoni’s 20th anniversary collection for Missoni was festive and celebratory.
15ETRO
In honor of the Etro’s 50th anniversary, brother and sister duo Kean and Veronica Etro decided to show both the menswear and womenswear collections together for the first time. On the women’s side, Veronica Etro sent out a number of charming all-white dresses, before moving on to the bold prints the house is known for. This look is spring’s answer to the LBD.
16MARNI
The colorful prints and voluminous silhouettes were the highlights of designer Francesco Risso’s second collection for Marni.
17BOTTEGA VENETA
Designer Tomas Maier’s optimistic collection for Bottega Veneta was full of beautiful colors and lots of sparkle, shine and fringe.
