Five key trends from Milan Fashion Week

After New York and London, Milan revealed its trends for the spring/summer 2017 season with a week of shows splashed with color, and where artisanal skills and craftsmanship took center stage. While fashion houses like Giorgio Armani and Francesco Scognamiglio went for light, fluid looks, others chose opulence and exuberance for SS17, including Dolce & Gabbana's vibrant homage to Italian culture.

Out of fashion: how men could fall off the catwalk

Menswear shows, traditionally held months before the women hit the runways later in the year, are being slowly airbrushed from the fashion industry's calendar and folded into the women's events, almost as an accessory. In Milan, where male models are strutting their stuff in shows that began on Friday for men's fashion week, 10 designers have decided not to showcase their collections this year including Calvin Klein, Ermenegildo Zegna and Kering's Brioni and Bottega Veneta. Other brands, including Burberry, Gucci and Tom Ford, have announced in recent months that they plan to stage combined events in future.

Fashion meets architecture: the biggest looks from Paris haute couture

Architectural fashion was the name of the game at the Spring 2016 Haute Couture shows in Paris this week, where bold structures and exaggerated silhouettes dominated the runways. Stephane Rolland mastered the look with a show-stopping postbox red layered dress that fanned outwards in a choppy, sculpted fashion. Elsewhere on the catwalks, Giambattista Valli sent out tiered gowns featuring triangular layer upon layer of stiff, frothy organza, and Alexis Mabille played with loose, voluminous structures that riffed on breezy nightwear but were in fact fitted to protrude outwards from the body.
