Milan goes feminine
FEMININE clothes dominated the recent spring/summer Milan designer collections.
Dresses had simple lines with the newest being the A-line and the high-waisted Empire line, but snug, figure buggers were still popular daywear. Lengths slid from short to very long.
Jackets formed the basis of the Milan wardrobe in shapes which could be worn belted or loose for versatility to team with shorts, trousers, tight slim skirts or long moving ones.
The easiest jacket shapes are loose duster coats often with flyaway backs. Simple cardigan styles fall below the hip. Shaplier options are the long close-fitting jacket, which is collarless, buttoned, sometimes belted and can be worn with the above-knee skirt or longer, biascut skirts. Some of the jackets feature nipped in waists that flare Party dressing and petticoats are back. Ballerina silhouettes show in bouffant skirts and strapless bodices, Skirts of tiered ruffles look Brazilian.
