Trend Confirmations
From Matte sorbet tweets to shiny metal mesh, many joyful and sharp trends have emerged this season. Silk chiffon with side slit dresses paired with Chantilly lace lingerie and black jersey cuissard boots. Sleek silhouettes with the retro elegance of the 1960s, opulent textures and captivating interplay of contradictions. Let's round up a few trend fixes from Milan to keep in mind for the spring/summer 24.

Lacey Luxury
A blooming possibility of Spring has been steady throughout this season but what got Italian allure talking loud is the seductive touch of lingerie into ready-to-wear. The Attico - the young and the most hyped Milanese brand dropped a collection called - “The Morning After: no longer, not yet; a moment of passage, a blooming of possibilities” this spring/summer and Gen-Z is going to simply adore this line. Mesmerising sheer drama with a soft touch of feathers and crystal dangles, soft French lace and sorbet tassels, the show happened on the streets where one is both a protagonist and a spectator, a voyeur and an actor, where paths cross in their plurality and manifold personalities. Touch of lingerie meeting spring clothing in the most glamorous manner. While Dolce & Gabbana dropped another sheer sophisticated line this season. Grace, allure and the brand’s signature codes define the essence of the confident and seductive woman through a trench coat trimmed with black satin and matching lingerie with Chantilly lace rosettes. Stretched lace dresses featuring handmade organza roses. Fix fur cape with a duchess bow at the neckline, revealing black satin lingerie paired with an old money bag. Roberto Cavalli joined the sheer lingerie glamour with the new collection where unlimited glamour takes flight on the wings of fantasy embodied in timeless elegance, a blackless Chantilly lace sheath dress embroidered with black feather pattern motifs, blending elements. We spotted many more seductive innerwear allure as outerwear objects this season.

Sorbet & Metallic Seduction
Fendi unveiled the new S/S 24 with Sorbet Shades like Orange and yellow with the asymmetry of cuts matching against powder hues. Del Core created “Slices Of Reverie” in the seduction of transparency while Alberta Ferrati chose fuchsia along with whites and browns. Etro created sorbet in signature prints while Genny opted for striking red with whites and rose gold in the collection “The Orchid Garden”. Emporio Armani played radiant, weightless with the lightest fabric discreetly illuminated by the touches of metallics and iridescence, woven and embroidered yet palpable as veils. While Moschino had a bit of all these elements. The Bicester Collection was nurturing the next generation in candy pop while Blue Marine chose to go gold metallic with lots of sheer. Ferragamo took metallics and reds and greens as the collection’s favourite entity.

Earthy Italian
Brands such as MaxMara, Gucci, Aniye Records and Bottega Veneta chose to focus more on Italian tailoring along with other brands. Where quiet luxury was mainstream and garments were more towards subtle sophistication of finishing, cuts and authenticity. Brands such as Act N1 and Philosophy did indulge in all the trends we churned out above but the most targeted area was the finishing touch. Tom Ford marked the debut of creative director Peter Hawking exploring all cuts Italian for the spring/summer 24 collection. Prada was the classic match for Italian luxury which is a more finishing-centric, womenswear collection formal silhouette, borrowed from menswear and reimagined in architectural forms that reconsider the archetypal contours of formal rigour. Many classic Italian brands propose absolute freedom of the body expressed in lightweight dresses in floaty fabrics that challenge the language of classic tailoring because that’s the most significant value of Italian brands. They are known for their finishing touch and tailoring in subtle colours and rich fabrics.

A haze of superfine organza and hazar, belted shorts suit in earthy shades, a fragment of a dress in printed Italian georgette and patchwork paginated leather hand-embroidered with crystal and studs, soft seduction and loud gestures of Italian allure. We spotted all the essentials in this season. Milan Fashion Week was metaphysical by all means. Cooler temps took over Milan in between the evenings, so showgoers had their knitwear game on point, including a few cosy crewnecks here and a statement cardigan touch there. Oversized blazers and tailored coats with tiny bralettes underneath are still stealing the street show along with sneakers, chunky loafers, and neon-tinted heels for a splash of colour. Milanese will never disappoint us with the pop of colours no matter what age group or gender they belong to. Via Monte Napoleone is all about smart Italians flaunting their vibrancy in fine-tailored neon pops whether it’s ready-to-wear or leather accessories.
