By Giulia Segreti MILAN (Reuters) – Italian fashion brand Dolce & Gabbana transported guests to a warm and busy Italian street setting for their spring/summer 17 catwalk show on Sunday, in one of the most flamboyant displays of Milan fashion week. A big red “Tropico Italiano” sign hanging from the ceiling, banana trees, coconuts and white sand contrasted the ambience of an Italian village festival as soon as lights went off and young street dancers hit the catwalk, moving to the beat of tarantella folk music. The loud and bright collection by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, known for their rich and embellished looks, carried all the typical elements of their style throughout the years, in a jubilation of gold, laces, embroidery, sequins, flowers, Madonnas, food, animal prints and lights.

By Giulia Segreti MILAN (Reuters) – A woman's allure is a matter of small and subtle details for Giorgio Armani in his spring/summer 2017 “Charmani” collection presented on Friday during Milan Fashion week. Appearing charming and sophisticated, she attracts attention with short skirts and veils that do not reveal too much, with knitted elements and fringe-like decorations on her garments. True to his style, Armani, who celebrated four decades in fashion last year, kept his designs clean cut, rigorous and elegant. The palette used by Armani, known in the fashion system as “King Giorgio”, is made up of hypnotic and intense blues and purples, at times deadened by beige, grey and red.
