Join us as we explore the top 10 women's fashion trends that emerged from the Milan Fashion Week for Spring/Summer 2024.
Fringes:Fringes are making a triumphant return to the fashion scene for Spring/Summer 2024. Whether they're crafted from fabric, beads, or woven delicately, fringes are a timeless classic that reinvents itself with every passing season. Designers like Sabato De Sarno for Gucci, Ferragamo, and Prada put their unique spins on fringes, while Diesel introduces a denim twist and Tom Ford takes us back to the y2k sexiness.
2. Ladylike: Step back in time with the Ladylike trend, reminiscent of the elegance of the 1940s, '50s, and '60s. This style exudes femininity, drawing inspiration from old Hollywood glamour. Giada, Ferragamo, and Re Giorgio showcased their modern interpretations of Ladylike, proving that this trend is truly timeless.
3. Fluid Transparent: The Fluid Transparent trend, which gained traction last season, continues to captivate for Spring/Summer 2024, but with a more subtle allure. The "naked dress" challenges traditional norms of modesty, empowering women to reclaim their bodies from the male gaze. Anteprima and Prada lead the way with their innovative use of layering, while Blumarine and Diesel embrace the "second skin" look.
4. Midi Skirt: Midi skirts, defined as those ending just below the knee, are back in vogue for SS24. This versatile style, first popularized in the 1940s with Dior's "New Look," is making a comeback. Bally, Bottega Veneta, and Ermanno Scervino have all given midi skirts a fresh twist in their own unique ways.
5. Hot Pants: Hot Pants, the ultra-short shorts inspired by the '70s, are making a bold return. These body-conscious shorts come in various styles, from brocade by Hui to lace by Moschino, and even minimalistic versions by Dolce & Gabbana and Andrea Adamo. Tom Ford takes a tailored approach, completing them with a low waist for a touch of sophistication.
6. Neutral Tones: Among the most accessible trends to embrace are the Neutral Tones. Classic and timeless, neutral colors, which extend beyond beige to include shades like green, light blue, and lilac, are wardrobe essentials. Versace, Alberta Ferretti, Philosophy by Lorenzo Serafini, and Iceberg all offer their interpretations of this trend.
7. Light Blue: The soothing shade of light blue, reminiscent of a sunrise, exudes elegance and freshness. Antonio Marras, Alberta Ferretti, and Del Core incorporate light blue into their collections with leather looks, pajama co-ords, and elegant suits. Ermanno Scervino, MSGM, and N°21 also embrace this color, highlighting its versatility and charm.
8. Shimmer Glittery: The timeless allure of glitter dresses continues to captivate fashion enthusiasts. Milan's fashion houses, including Giorgio Armani, Versace, Cormio, and Marco Rambaldi, have showcased a dazzling array of glittering garments. From gold to purple and everything in between, the glitter dress remains a wardrobe staple.
9. White Dress: While the little black dress is a perennial favorite, summer 2024 is all about the little white dress. Whether mini or maxi, these dresses are versatile and accessible. Aigner, Ferrari, Sportmax, and MM6 offer diverse interpretations, from captivating and studded to alienating and aseptic.
10. Drapery: The art of drapery, which dates back to the 1800s but found fame in the 1940s, is back as a trend for SS 24. Designers like Blumarine, Giorgia Tordini, Gilda Ambrosio, Missoni, Bottega Veneta, and Etro are embracing this unique construction technique. From angelic and y2k-inspired to colorful and eclectic, drapery takes center stage in a variety of forms.
