Milan Fashion Week has just ended, leaving behind a trail of new trends for the Spring/Summer of 2020. Which is the prevalent one? Hyper-femininity, without a doubt. In the past days, the major Italian and international fashion houses launched on the Milan catwalks the idea of a delicate and seductive woman, wearing impalpable clothes and accessories made with materials that slide on the skin, almost stroking it.

Pink is the colour of the season, in all its nuances: from peach N°21 to the old rose of Prada and the unforgettable bubble-gum pink of Max Mara. Colours are light also for Luisa Beccaria and Sportmax, which opt for very clear and almost transparent light blue.

Ermanno Scervino, Bottega Veneta and Missoni showcase a triumph of chiffons and lightweight silks, matched with micro-floral printed patterns. Anteprima and Cividini focus on a woman with a gypsy-like femininity, in a mix and match of prints and fabrics, while Fendi’s woman exudes retro allure: delicate scarves, low heel mules and micro-bags complete the image of a refined woman who is free to express her romantic femininity.

Animalier prints, both zebra and tortoise, enliven the 2020 Spring Summer of Dolce&Gabbana (for the occasion, even the scenery of the catwalk recreated a jungle). The accessories, as often happens with these two designers’ collections, are little jewels featuring an infinite number of details: like the micro-bag that cannot hold more than a few coins and that is worn on the wrist; or the bare sandals worn with sheer tights, knee socks, up to the jewel-sandals embellished with crystals and glazed applications.

And finally, a look at Armani and at his innate ability to turn an apparently intangible feeling into clothes and accessories: this is what the stylist has been able to do, once again, for his 2020 Spring Summer Collection. At the heart of his creative process lies the Earth with all its natural elements: a concept that is represented with a fashion show that starts from the solid state of silk suits in the colours of the earth (brown and dark grey) and gradually changes its physical state, passing to the fluidity of items in light blue tulle and organza, to then finish off with the evaporation of garments in georgette, on pink and pearl grey hues. This search for femininity in line with nature is underlined by transparent shoes or intertwined brogues, always flat, and by small, round, hobo bags in the same materials as the clothes.
