Summary

Colour

The Milan runways deliver confirmation of A/W 23’s emerging colour trends, balancing timeless classics and warm luxe neutrals with the contrast of vivid poster brights and an unexpected level of sweet pastels.

Fabric

Milan’s A/W 23 fabric directions are all about contrasting textures, with tactile velvets complementing smooth leathers, wet-look finishes and slinky satin, all played off against tufted wools, lustred metallics and glittering crystals.

Print & Pattern

With fabric driving A/W 23, new print trends are experiencing a bit of a hiatus. Milan confirms the three key emerging trends, with the animal kingdom, new skin updates and engineered placements hitting the sweet spot.

Key Looks

Fashion gets into reset mode, casting out fatuous, Insta-ready looks in favour of something altogether more mindful, timeless, and with an aesthetic appeal that celebrates the beauty of the everyday.

Key Items

As we would expect, Milan plays to its strengths, delivering several strong outerwear and knit directions while consolidating looks seen elsewhere this season, and touching on all the best emerging fashion details.

Footwear & Accessories

Milan always delivers on commercial takeaways and this season is no exception – particularly when it comes to the footwear category, with new takes on classic pumps and slouched boots.
