Reminiscent of fairy tale heroines, models wore velvet corset
tops over chiffon off-shoulder blouses and later sweeping gowns.
For day wear, Beccaria and her daughter Lucilla Bonaccorsi
offered tartan-like, dark turquoise and black checked knitwear,
tweed coats, flower-embroidered velvet jackets matched with
cropped trousers and chiffon floral-printed dresses.
Models also wore sleek hooded capes and soft velvet robes tied
at the waist. Some coats and capes were decorated with
bird-shaped brooches and large sequined flower patterns.
The floral theme continued into the evening with diamond-shaped
flower as well as leaf motifs embroidered on tulle dresses.
Beccaria, who has dressed Hollywood celebrities such as Nicole
Kidman and Angelina Jolie, kept the red carpet in mind with
several ball gowns.
The looks, in dark turquoise, blue-green, green-teal, peacock
blue and dark pale pink, were accessorized with satin chokers
with pendants, criss-cross laced high heels and slim belts.
At a time of slowing demand for luxury goods, designers have
been emphasizing their labels' craft skills at Milan's shows,
unveiling outfits with rich embellishments and detailing.
At Roberto Cavalli on Wednesday night, creative director Peter
Dundas offered multi-colored patchwork furry coats, floral
embroidery on jeans and long transparent dresses decorated with
sparkling sequins.
Milan Fashion Week runs until Feb. 29, with major brands Giorgio
Armani, Prada, Versace and Dolce & Gabbana still to unveil their
autumn/winter 2016/2017 collections.
