For anyone looking for signs of spring, there were plenty to be found at Milan Fashion Week. The shows, which ended on Sunday, took place beneath sunny blue skies and drew crowds that dressed accordingly: in bright clothes, chest-bearing tops and sunglasses of all shapes and sizes. For the most part, winter coats, on the streets, at least, seemed a distant memory.
There were notable coats on runways, however, including at the Bottega Veneta show, where they were big and shaggy or leathery, and at the Jil Sander show, where the outerwear was more understated but no less striking. Also striking were the high-cut bikini bottoms that models on the Diesel runway wore with sweaters and shirts. That show, as well as those held by Marni and Prada, featured attire in shades of pink — a color that, along with springy yellows and greens, was also prevalent on the streets.
