Milan Fashion Week: highlights from days 1 and 2

Alberta Ferretti

The designer sent out a sumptuous mix of silks, lace, wools and dyed lambskins covered in colored bird feathers, sequins, fabric leaves and red roses. The palette stayed true to fall with a mix of greens, browns, dark blues, yellows and oranges. 

Versus Versace

Ahead of the upcoming Versus Versace collaboration currently in the works with Anthony Vaccarello, the label unveiled a Fall 2014 men’s and womenswear collection designed by Donatella and her teams. Vibrant multicolor digital prints, rock ‘n’ roll black leather, camel colored outerwear, and the classic Versace gold chain all-over print all featured.

Fendi 

The label’s signature fur sprouted from outerwear and appeared as belted shoulder wraps, and was contrasted by sporty mesh pieces. Designer Karl Lagerfeld was referenced in a furry toy clutched by Cara Delevingne, and in another neat touch, camera drones flying over the runway captured the action for the livestream, offering new angles on the collection.
