Millan Fashion Week: Day 3

Moschino
You can always rely on Jeremy Scott to provide some much needed fun at fashion week. Compared to the Barbie doll extravaganza as seen last season, this show was centered around the Looney Tunes instead. The collection started with bright puffa jackets in primary colours, which gave way to graffiti dresses, sports shirts, gold chains and a sense of 90's glam via the New York streets. And with medallions with Tweety Pie's face, Bugs Bunny jackets and Daffy Duck dresses, this collection couldn't help but make you smile!

Prada
Some describe Miuccia's style as 'Ugly Chic,' and this show was no different. The boxy buttoned jackets, a favourite of Prada, came in icy blue and pastel pink, trousers were cropped at the ankle and flared giving way to big boots. Little pinafore dresses were decorated with delicate brooches of flowers, dragon flies and insects. If anything, this was more of a spring collection rather than one for winter. And as for the gloves, which are turning into a big thing for next winter, they were extremely long, creeping up the arm almost to the shoulder.

Just Cavalli
The younger, fresher, more fun version of the Roberto Cavalli chain delivered plenty of fashion moments yesterday. I love this label because it represents the young Italian women, who is not yet old enough to fit into the immaculate, Milanese luxury lady of leisure. Models walked down the catwalk with wet hair and minimal make up. While for the clothes, there was fur, tassels, mini puff ball skirts, parka coats and high glam. Very va va voom.

MaxMara
A brand best known for their coats delivered a show full of... coats! Opened by Gigi Hadid, this show was beautiful and very lady like. With a classic 50's spin, camel and beige wool coats were paired with boxy handbags and knee length skirts. I loved the 'sexy secretary' look of the whole thing, with cats eye sunglasses and bobbed hair cuts. Models strolled down the catwalk with their arms folded strongly across their chests, perhaps warding off the soon to come winter chill.

Alberta Ferretti
Folky and a tad Tudor, this Alberta Ferretti show was whimsical and romantic. The prints were strong in red, gold and green while patterns had a 70's feel about them, plenty of intertwined flowers and embroidered skirts. There were plenty of frills and lace details on dresses, while models' hair was loose and gently curled adding to the soft theme of the collection. As always, very feminine.

Fendi
I loved this show! It was pristine, very sculptural, minimal and elegant. Pristine white coats, white shirts, white skirts... it was a wash out. But then came colour. Tan, burgundy, grey and cream were geometrically placed next to each other in a patchwork kind of effect. Leather tops and skirts were laser cut dead straight and had over sized pockets which highlighted the craftsmanship of Fendi. Skirts were pretty short and boots were chunky and furry. One of my highlights of MFW.

Gucci
Since Frida Giannini left the brand at the start of this year, Gucci has received a massive overhaul in the form of new creative director, Allessandro Michele. Gone are the sexy leather skirts, the 70's boho chic, the amazing crocodile skin coats and of course, that effortless Italian luxe style only Gucci can do. This 'new' Gucci is more androgynous, more dark and definitely more youthful with a nod to the urban street culture. I think everyone was a little shocked at this collection, but everything always changes in fashion and we'll just have to get used to this new Gucci.
