Milan Fashion Week is always an extravagant affair - the majority of designers go all out with embellishments, fabrics and all of the trimmings. From the mirrored walls, dim pink lighting and velvet sofas for the display of Gucci, to the Moschino paper dolls - Italian fashion houses take creativity to a whole different level and really know how to have some fun. Far from the minimalism of Parisian fashion, Milan Fashion Week shows us just how Italians push the limits with their elegance. As usual, we felt completely overwhelmed with the beauty that we saw presented on the catwalk at Milan Fashion Week that we decided to summarise our favourite collections.

Dolce & Gabbana

Embellished dreams in D&G

Relaxed and cool in D&G

We're always excited about Dolce & Gabbana to be quite honest. From embellished shorts, skirts, crowns, clutches and even LED lighting on accessories, D&G never fails to make our hearts crumble. As the models strutted down the runway we couldn't help but gasp and scream in adoration. With looks that included a straw style fitted dress with 'Italiana' and 'Pizza' printed across the front, and floral head pieces, the way the fashion house continue to encapsulate the true essence of Italy in each of their collections is admirable.

Did any of you get to see the invite to this catwalk show? The brand took 3-D to another level as their invites included pop out layers which resembled a theatre set. The set of the runway almost resembled a lounge with mirrored walls, hanging sequins, dim pink lighting and velvet sofas, as the models walked down a curved runway. There was an overload of varying fabrics, colours, embellishments and styles recycled from a range of different eras in fashion history. Gucci SS17 was nothing short of decadent.

Moschino

Thank you Milan for doing the damn thing this Fashion Week!
