MILAN SPRING SUMMER CATWALK SHOWS- 3 PAGES

Hot and steamy, summer fashion in Milan goes for gold.....

PAGE ONE:

Missoni gold allure

Feminine, flared and flirty, the silhouette of Angela Missoni's sheer dresses is loose and so delicate. Her latest take on the world's most famous stripe fulfills the seasonal promise of the label: the ingenious use of colour, a wonderful gold lame and jade combination, is what makes the collection so fragile and charming. The ultimate indulgence. Fabulous dresses in lurex and turquoise silk, gorgeously flimsy fabrics combining gold sequins and sewn-on beads. To be worn with shapely glittering gold heels.

PAGE TWO:

Burani aura

A nod to opulence, different proportions, unexpected combinations and luxurious fabrics: Mariella Burani sophisticated silhouettes are drawn in to a forties elegance that finds perfection in the sculpted two-piece, ankle-length, trouser-suit. Pale gold splashes keep the mood contemporary, while emphasis is placed on the stunningly tailored jacket with raised collar. Every detail marks out the graphic cuts. Effortless elegance to be toughened by functional and comfortable handbags.

PAGE THREE:

Marras glittery impact

It was all about summer's rain and ethereal accents at Antonio Marras' collection, a mystical, enchanted world that hit its mark integrating very cleverly materials and techniques to create wet effects. The sheen of water is also evoked in the sequins and crystal drops embroidered on fluid dresses: loose-fitting shifts and classic tunics, sparingly adorned with gold flecks. Injecting a surprise element sparkling with glitter eyewear that ranges from supersized to super-small.
