Viviana Espitia Style: Milan Fashion Week Highlights

Hello My Fashion Lovers!

Today I wanted to do a recap on what went on at the Milan Fashion Week, with a trend review. I'm going to begin with my favorite show of all Dolce and Gabbana. Red and Gold were the color of choice for these two designers and royalty was their inspiration, they made sure their runway was glamorous and luxurious with their amazing designs. One of the best Collection of MFW.

Is very important to say that red for next year is going to be a must-have color in your closet. As you can see a lot of designers are using this color for their Spring 2014 Collection, like: Thakoon, Prada,Gucci, Alberta Ferretti, Tod's, Max Mara, Fendi, Bluemarine and many others.

Here are some of the styles you will see in stores next year:

Flowing and fFeminine: Many collections were a celebration of feminine form and elegance, making 2014 a good year for the fashionista who's a girly girl at heart. Dresses featured fabrics with fluid movement, thanks to shoulder-to-floor capes, tiered layers and skinny pleats. V-necks and/or exposed backs provided a dose of modernity and sex appeal.

A smattering of sparkle: Like a shimmering sunset, some designers wove in shine with beaded detailing and metallic fabrics. What was missing, however, was the abundance of heavily sequined selections, a staple of wardrobes in recent seasons.

Monochromatic brights: It appears color-blocking could take a backseat next year to colorful solids. Primary colors were prominent, with the occasional full neon look (e.g., lime and orange, red, mostly), resulting in a rainbow parade down the runway. At the opposite end of the color spectrum, pastel hues -- icy blues, mints, citrons, lavenders and powder pinks -- infused styles with sensuality and softness.
