Fashion Trends & Tours in Italy

The women’s fashion week in Milan ended Saturday. A few themes and features of the collections fall-winter 2006-2007 showed by Versace, Fendi, and Roberto Cavalli.

- Donatella Versace, showed a collection based on geometric silhouettes, avoiding the fur trimming and embroidery so heavily featured in most of the shows seen in this fashion week. A-shaped high-collared coats belted at the waist, and triangular shaped mini dresses for the daytime, and seductive silk gowns for evening, have mostly underlined the Donatella Versace show.
British actress Elizabeth Hurley was Donatella Versace’s special guest.

- Roberto Cavalli showed a soft feminine collection. The look was well-mannered with the silhouette caressing the body; the colection featured many coats trimmed in chinchilla, and light chiffon gowns decorated with bird feathers and sequins.

- Fendi collection was inspired by 14th century Italian art. It featured voluminous cashmere cape coats, micro-pleated bubble skirts and a swathe of Fendi furs, from chinchilla to ermine, sable and shearling lamb. The famous Fendi bags underlined the luxurious mood of the collection.
