Milan: Reinventing an Old World Aesthetic

The conclusion of Milan Fashion Week yesterday finalized the dominating characteristic on the runway: An amalgamation of the truly timeless, rethought. The looks we saw cannot be ascribed to particular decades because their inspirations were not either. Rather, they spanned eras, and the new variations are modernized aesthetics transformed enough to be truly ours. The D&G suit, first below, owes thanks to the classic Chanel suit for lending one of its ribs, but its sexy, silky brassiere camisole is so 2010. Also, don't miss the Dolce & Gabbana's pants-less suits sure to offend the older generations from which they spawned. See a suit revolution from Salvatore Ferragamo, top right, with their pre-fall signature hat, a cold weather variation on the Panama style. FYI, the Salvatore Ferragamo line was a huge success so check it out here. The third and final look is a knock-out boatneck-line dress, a chic and immortal cut, from second-time showcaser Marco de Vincenzo.

We can't overlook the power of accessories. These cat-eye glasses from Prada and Marni, respectively, are an intelligent modernization of a priceless glamour. (We must note that aside from these specs, Marni floundered with unflattering cuts.)
