Runway Report: Milan Fashion Week's Spring 2009 RTW Collections

Milan Fashion week offered a different outlook on modern fashion. The collections I admired offered femininity and sophistication. Here is a peek at some of my favorite looks.

The Moschino Spring 2009 collection showed an illustrious range of colors from bright pinks and purples, subtle metallic's, to the standard black and white pieces. The collection mixed a variety of fabrics including satins and chiffon's to form feminine silhouettes. The show had an edgy 60's vibe with the oversized bows, bouffants, and cat eye sunglasses.





The Salvatore Ferragamo collection showed that clothing does not have to be form fitting to be feminine and sexy. The entire collection offered a slouchy relaxed fit, yet it was well tailored and not overflowing with excess fabric.







Gianfranco Ferré offered a more artistic design to fashion. I love the abstract silhouettes of the pieces.





Bottega Veneta’s collection was classic and sophisticated with everyday wearable pieces. There were several belted 40’s style dresses. The color scheme seemed a bit pre fall with shades of burnt orange, brown and mustard yellow. Overall I thought the collection was quite stylish and chic.
