By Marie-Louise Gumuchian MILAN (Reuters) – Milan began six days of catwalk shows on Wednesday with Italian luxury brands Gucci and Fay among the first to show the creations their designers hope will fill women's wardrobes next winter. Gucci, under new designer Alessandro Michele, presented a vibrant and colorful autumn/winter 2016/2017 collection called “Rhizomatic Scores”. From one-colored outfits — including a pink furry coat teamed with pink tights, shoes, neck scarf and bag — to clashing print jacket and trouser or skirt combinations and designs emblazoned with snake patterns, Michele presented a selection of eclectic looks.

Gucci's reinvention of womenswear's hottest megabrand continued Wednesday as designer Alessandro Michele tweaked his hugely successful androgynous, anti-fashion recipe with dashes of street art and grunge. For his third womenswear collection for the venerable Florentine house, Michele worked with the Brooklyn artist called GucciGhost, best known for his graffiti involving versions of the brand's famous logo. Two examples are used in prints splashed across many of the clothes Michele unveiled for the upcoming Autumn and Winter to a feedback-rich soundtrack in a converted railway shed.

Milan fashion week kicked off on a colourful note on Wednesday as Blugirl designer Anna Molinari extended the hedonistic feel of her spring collection into her outfits for next fall and winter. Three-quarter length raincoats came in floral and other vibrant prints while the collection for the younger sister to Molinari's Blumarine brand was also dotted with bright Nordic-inspired knitwear. Molinari declared last year that it was time for Italian fashion to loosen up a little and have some fun after years of gloom created by a triple-dip recession and a sense that Milan was losing its edge creatively and in terms of its rivalry with Paris and fast-rising London and New York.

Genderless fashion is the buzzword for many of today's top designers, highlighted at London Fashion Week by a string of androgynous touches on the catwalks. From Christopher Kane's heavy, dark, asymmetric tailoring to Burberry's parade of male and female models in military overcoats and aviator jackets, masculine styling repeatedly stood out in the women's autumn/winter collections. It's not just in London where designers are experimenting with preconceptions about gender and identity.

American designer Tommy Hilfiger has launched a line of clothing for children with disabilities, a collaboration that started after a mother couldn't find jeans for her son who wears leg braces. The 22 pieces, which include jeans, khakis, dresses and button-up shirts, look exactly the same as those on the pre-existing TH Kids line and are also priced the same, Tommy Hilfiger said in a statement posted on its website Tuesday. The line was created in collaboration with Runway of Dreams, a group that works with the fashion industry to adapt mainstream clothing for disabled people, Tommy Hilfiger said in its statement.
