With Milan Fashion Week at an end, a prominent trend this year was a Burst of Color. This trend showcases vibrant, neon colors that are usually not worn together.
This year they were brought to the runway and executed to perfection.
Versace, Prada, Marco de Vincenzo, and Marni had added every color imaginable into their designs. Versace incorporated different types of plaid and animal print into their designs, while also keeping it classy by incorporating touches of gold jewelry. Prada features a wide variety of dresses, sweatshirts and two piece outfits with neon coloration. Marco de Vincenzo featured ruched tops, and satin accents throughout. Marni featured outfits filled with shine and stripes.
Gone are the days of DIY for Nicky Zimmermann — as her brand has become a cult favorite with vintage- and beach-loving girls worldwide — and yet that didn’t stop her from taking her spring collection on a reminiscent journey back to Stranded, her and her friends’ club of choice in Sydney, Australia in the Eighties. “It’s kind of my take on the Eighties, because where I grew up was kind of isolated to the subcultures that were happening — it was a bit more parody,” she explained. In her show notes, she offered details: “We made everything ourselves; it was more about expressing yourself. We ripped up tutus, we stole dad’s shirts, found old pieces of lace. We tied, we tattered, tangled and frayed.”
