5 trends seen at Milan Fashion Week Fall Winter 2024 2025 that we will definitely wear
Mapping out the Milanese trends that paraded before our eyes: retro fashion, knee-length hems, and outerwear stand out among the trends seen at Milan Fashion Week 2024.
As the Italian fashion week concludes, with buyers, journalists, content creators, and influencers converging on the Lombard capital, it's time to summarize what we witnessed through the strongest trends showcased at Milan Fashion Week Fall Winter 2024 2025. We'll explain it here in 5 key points, a real guide to keep in mind for your online shopping:
rn1. Sometimes they come back: retro but contemporary fashion
There are many references to the past: Adrian Appiolaza for his Moschino debut looks to the archives, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons interpret fashion from the 30s-40s, and Maximilian Davis for the Ferragamo collection reimagines the roaring 20s a century later. We start from here to build a new wardrobe that dares just enough to introduce something new into our capsule wardrobe. So, classic but not too much, that's the key to interpreting the Fall Winter 2024-2025 collections.
2. The power of outerwear
Never before has the coat taken center stage. If in recent years, we celebrated the midi and long models that, thanks to their long hem, allow for versatile styling, these shows have reintroduced the short version. Etro, Gucci, and Bottega Veneta have masterfully interpreted the pea coat: no longer strictly navy blue, but tinged in seasonal shades like olive green and London fog gray. And if you don't want to part with the maxi coat, choose it as a 'robe,' deconstructed, perfect to pair with lightweight transparent dresses.
3. Midi or long skirts. Highly austere
Mini skirts were not absent from this Milan Fashion Week, but we witnessed a significant return of knee-length, midi, and ultimately long skirts. Many variations on the theme have led to the conclusion that this garment will be the subject of experimentation: think of Prada's apron models or Philosophy by Lorenzo Serafini's 'towel' skirts, a direct nod to Alfred Hitchcock's film Psycho. The result is an austere length but no less interesting. Indeed.
4. The accessory to rediscover
In other words, the slim belt. If the color palette is reduced to a minimum and garments look to refined tailoring constructions, the creative touch is provided by styling. Unfastened bodysuits, sweaters turned into scarves, and low belts to accentuate the waist or personalize an essential jacket.
5. The new It-Bag
Forget handbags, shoulder bags, and shopping bags because among the trends seen at Milan Fashion Week 2024, the maxi clutch is taking over. And it hovers between the arm and the body because 'how' it is carried makes the difference and makes it so cool. So, quiet luxury.
