A part from the classic prints, such as pinstripe and checkers, a few patterns from the runways in Milan made a memorable entrance and helped to keep things interesting. Wear these prints in unison for a bold total look or add a hint of fantasy to update your wardrobe for the next 2015 season.
In Writing: The pen is mightier than the sword, and allusions to this timeless saying were spotted at both Moschino and Dolce & Gabbana. Dresses in classic clean styles stood out among the crowd, with drawings and graffiti mimicking a collision of innocent youth and grown up grace.
Nature: Florals on ruffles, draping and see-through fabrics played a key tune on several Milanese runways. Gucci showcased a high-collar, long-sleeved dress with a vintage flower print, while Blumarine applied a similar pattern to a long sleeved see-thorough maxi dress. N°21 had frills and ruffles adorned with white and black flowers creating an illusion of abstract birds. It all brought a hint of spring to the Fall/Winter season.
Kaleidoscope: Pucci and Missoni stayed true to their iconic prints, implementing them in a more abstract version of their historical parents, therefore bringing a bold Seventies vibe to the runway. The racy print in black and white at Byblos intrigued the eye with optical illusions demonstrating how one can accurately combine prints.
