What will be fashionable in six months: Trends from Milan

We summarize the results, held in the framework of Milan Fashion Week. In this material - 13 trends from the show, which we will adapt to your wardrobe throughout this year. However, no one bothers to do it right now.

Pink color from summer collections migrated to fall. The most popular among designers in Milan week is not powdery, not salmon, not a light shadow of a sunset on the whitish sky, but a cool pink color, which many people associate with Barbie dresses. He also became the most prominent coloristic focus on the podiums. We are talking about such a shade, when it is clear: it is in front of us that it is a pink dress, and not “almost scarlet” or “maybe beige”. The color that has been stubbornly imposed on us since childhood can be very beautiful, especially if we discard all gender stereotypes. And the designers elegantly remind us of this.

Iceberg showed minimalistic dresses, suits and shoes, Emporio Armani cool pink accents diluted the collection's monochrome along with milky yellow and blue, and Jil Sander showed the most gentle in terms of shade option - a metallized pink dress that looks almost like a foil silver. If you associate pink with the canonical image of Marilyn Monroe, pay attention to Moschino - Jeremy Scott seemed to have prepared a dress in which the Hollywood diva performed "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend".

But the most nuclear version of Gucci: the new star of international modeling, Polina Oganicheva, came out in a completely pink look - from tights to a fur coat and a flower around her neck.

Multi-colored fur coats in one form or another appear in collections every winter, but there will be a lot of them in the coming autumn and winter, and their color will vary within the most delicate color range. Part of the reason is that fashion houses closely cooperate with research agencies, and the main color laboratory of the world, Pantone, has announced cold pink and sky blue colors of 2016.

Just sky-blue fur coats presented Au Jour Le Jour, Antonio Marras presented a coat of different types of fur with blue and yellow inserts, for Fendi Karl Lagerfeld and Sylvia Venturini-Fendi invented a slightly brighter blue fur coat, and a fur coat in the floor color of bleached sea wave entered the image that opened the show Blumarine.

Versace, as always, was not scorched: a short white and blue mink coat with knitted elements looks cool in itself, and in combination with blue lacquered trousers to match - especially. Similar options should be sought from the mass-market brands or from the not cheap fashion brand Shrimps, in the assortment of which only faux fur: the use of natural has long been inappropriate from a financial point of view and from the standpoint of ethics.

When the word "military" flashes once again in the trend lists, I just want to throw a fashion magazine at the wall: it would seem, how much can you? But this time it comes down not to the belligerent moods of designers as a whole, but to one particular detail. Remember this word: minishket. This is a clasp familiar to everyone in hussar military uniforms: double-breasted uniforms were fastened with the help of a system of laces.

This catchy element appeared on the catwalks more than once or twice: for example, in the Dolce & Gabbana collection devoted to Cinderella, every second jacket is equipped with a two-row mensket with gold buttons, for Roberto Cavalli Peter Dundas made - suddenly - a chiffon evening dress with a decorative contrast buckle and in the full military allusions of the Prada collection, the menticket is transformed into overhead loops of single-breasted coats that carry a purely decorative function. Relatively neutral, on the general background, the variant was shown by Ermanno Scervino - there the fastener is depicted schematically in the form of embroidery. We like all the variations, but do not overdo it: it is too bright detail to support it with other hints of military.

Someone might say that black is another trend. But before you chop off the shoulder, look at the image that opened Bottega Veneta and you will understand everything. The Italian designers, who are poor in bright colors, this time brought the multi-layered, truly complex black images to some inhuman degree of beauty, although usually the Japanese and Americans are addicted to experiments on this field.

There really is something to think about - being one of the main basic colors, black allows you to make the most complex and unexpected sets that will not look overloaded. For example, two black skirts worn at the same time, like Jil Sander or Damir Doma, are a great idea in all respects. And Salvatore Ferragamo, Ports 1961 and Costume National play with proportions: the waist line in their images is deliberately biased, the jackets and raincoats are deliberately short, and the trousers are paired with skirts. Beautiful and fun, plus you can start to invent your options right now - the source material for this is in each of us in the closet.

Against the background of the general “linen” vector of all fashion weeks of the autumn-winter season - 2016, the choice in favor of the atlas is a natural textile priority. Most designers didn’t think too much and just showed their versions of night dresses and daytime pajamas - this is what Alberta Ferretti, Damir Doma and N ° 21 did. If this seems like a boring decision to you, then, fortunately, the atlas is now welcome in any form. For example, Blumarine and Gucci are very beautiful satin cocktail midi dresses with sleeves.

Love for the eightieth has been no longer a year or two, and fashion is also true to them for that season already. Therefore, it is great that designers offer us a non-beat look at this decade - a women's trouser suit, which at that time looked deliberately masculine. Hyperbolized or deflated shoulders, straight silhouette, wide trousers - now this suit takes on a completely different sound, more confident and harmonious.

The most beautiful options are again at Bottega Veneta: such costumes can be inherited instead of diamond rings. More relaxed, in the spirit of "someone else's shoulder" images showed Max Mara and Missoni. And just on such suits, Alessandro Michele has already filled his hand, which shows new options in each collection - for Gucci, they have already become a hallmark. Finding similar jackets will be easy, but with trousers more difficult: they should sit at the waist, close the legs to the floor and (preferably) have tucks at the waist. Perhaps it makes sense to pay for such more - you will wear them for years.

In fact, funny pictures have always been the prerogative of youth brands, but for the third season in a row they are increasingly embedded in the DNA of excessively adult Dolce & Gabbana - touching mice, pumpkins and carriages for serious money have become the leitmotif of the collection presented recently in Milan. Apparently, Domenico and Dolce took the example of Michele, who also methodically deals with the rejuvenation of the sponsored house and sews on sports sweaters Gucci, say, cartoon panthers, covered with crystals.

If the attempts of grand brands look more fun and infantile than someone embarrassed (and in vain), you can pay attention to the young cheerful brands that were ironic from the very beginning. Stella Jean embroidered brave soldiers on the trousers, in MSGM strict dresses were decorated with tails with silly appliqués in the spirit of Jean Cocteau, and Au Jour Le Jour expanded fully transparent dresses with simple symbols a la Emoji. If somewhere in the closet you have an old jeans with funny stripes lying around, it's time to find it.

To put it bluntly, for the Russian winter and even autumn weather realms, the capes, as a type of outerwear, do not fit around completely: no matter how cool, it turns out cold and inflates. But on the catwalks there were really a lot of them. In Salvatore Ferragamo, the cap replaced a jacket in a trouser suit, in Roberto Cavalli it became a valuable evening piece - thanks to embroidery and velvet, and for Prada Miuccia made options for every taste - from wool, suede or fur.

Fur capes, by the way, turned out to be especially popular among Italian designers - both Prada, Fendi, and Fausto Puglisi have them. If ordinary cape is stupid clothes for Russia, then fur cape is stupid clothes in a square, but they look cool (as sometimes happens).

Frills, ruffles and flounces - also the news slightly the day before yesterday. Therefore, designers took advantage of the rule that is safe for old trends, “exaggerate in any unclear situation,” and nothing prevents us from doing the same. If the dress, then let it be ruffled from hem to chest - like in Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini, Giamba and Gucci. You can experiment with materials and put on an asymmetrical leather skirt with ruffles under the fur jacket, as in the Antonio Marras show. Or go to all serious, as they did in Fendi and Francesco Scognamiglio: every millimeter of all the things in the collections of both brands are covered with shuttlecocks of various stripes. In this case, more is better.

The black leather coat of the majority is associated not only with the goods from Eastern Europe which are in short supply in the USSR, or with Blade and the Gothic. This is really an aggressive characteristic thing, but depending on the silhouette and details, it can look different. You can love her, too, for different qualities: for distinction - then you should go to Moschino or Max Mara; for fetishistic eroticism in the spirit of "Night Porter" - then you will have to Versace, Iceberg or Salvatore Ferragamo; or for relative neutrality and durability - then you go to Prada or Fay. If we talk about a more down-to-earth price category, then just leather coats, coats and trench coats make sense to look in vintage stores and secondhands: those who wore this in the last century often try to get rid of very decent pieces for nothing.

Boots to the knee are gradually moving into the category of fashionable shoes, and we have already talked about this. But we didn’t have time to get used to this, as the designers are already moving on - in Milan, they showed a huge amount of statement-boots, which will not be easy to decide. The king of the hill here, of course, is Fendi - it was for fairy bright boots with frills that everyone remembered the last show of the brand. Roberto Cavalli and Marni are not far behind, and MSGM has a holiday at all: almost all the shoes are velvet and printed.

Meanwhile, Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini salutes the kitsch collection JWAnderson Autumn-Winter 2015 and her red boots with draperies, while Emilio Pucci sends her greetings to Allier Heindmarch - for this spring the British designer has invented a dozen models of boots with graphic prints that you can wear six months after the end of the warm season. In general, of course, anything can be worn at any time, and interesting options can be searched from more affordable brands - however, you will have to wait for summer sales.

Still, it was not without sequins in winter collections, but the rule about exaggeration works (hurray) here too. Beaten material - unbroken flow: let huge, saucer-sized glitter cover a solid part of the top, like Marni's, or decorate a space-type jumpsuit, like Philipp Plein. But one hundred percent visual knockout is literally dazzling outfits in the spirit of a disco ball. Dolce & Gabbana, Aquilano.Rimondi, and Blumarine have such a thing. Apparently, the designers still will not forget the cosmically beautiful asymmetrical Vetements dress from the collection of this spring, and we understand them perfectly.

The giant stretched sweaters, as if beaten by life (and, possibly, not of one generation), are a cozy development of the hypersize mode. If you want to endure the vintage mood, then you should focus on palm trees N ° 21, Bottega Veneta vintage embroidery, Etro grunge stripes and Iceberg jackets, as if connected by old schemes from the Burda magazine. But the modern variants are emphasized not worse - we like both the Les Copains graphics and the kaleidoscopic Emilio Pucci sweaters. For buyers, the main advantage is that the desired sweater can be found in any unexpected male section of the mass market.
