Milan Fashion Week: Colours

During the Fall season, black is usually in the lead with the guest play of jeweled tones. During the past week on the runways of Milan, there were, however, a few other colors that were taking over the field.

Red: Bright red or shades of burgundy worn from head to toe were seen at shows such as Pucci, Versace and Salvatore Ferragamo. In combination with a cape or long flowy sleeves, red elevated the looks to regal finesse.

Light pink: As a continuation of the pink trend from SS15, a lighter version vas presented at Prada, N°21 and Marni, each with an edgier structural style showcasing the importance of feminine power dressing.

Black, white and yellow: This color combination is no longer just a licorice treat: it could be seen in numerous variations on the runways of Jil Sander, Bottega Veneta as well as Roberto Cavalli. The yellow was in contrast with the established monochromatic look, adding a splash of whimsy to the sophistication of the black and white uniform.
