As fashion month begins to wind down with Paris Fashion Week underway, there’s much to be said for the runways of Milan, whose collections were particularly covetable and especially well-conceived. The standout trends were ones revisited in bold Italian style: Boho looks infused with modern richness, ’60s-era gilded glamour folded into edgy cuts and peek-a-boo garments with a sophisticated sex-appeal. And in the same spirit of change this season, designers like Jil Sander and Marni reworked the girly ruffle and classic dropped trouser. In all, Milan made for an exciting six days in a whirlwind month of fashion. Below are DuJour’s picks for the top trends.
