After a Milan Fashion Week Spring Summer 2016 what we’ve to add? Once this is all about spotting Milan fashion trends 2016, here it is a quick worldwide resume: New York was ready for relaxation. London time-traveled back to the Victorian era. As for Milan? Well, Milan had no interest in fitting neatly into any category. There were, however, a few fashion trends that did stand out from the rest. Milan Design Agenda invites you to scroll through to take a look.
Ultrafeminine
Milan started off on a light note with extra soft, hyper-feminine looks fitted with silky, gauzy fabrics and more ruffles than anyone probably needs. But since when is fashion about need? These looks fluttered down the catwalk all week.
Broad Bands
On the other hand, Milanese fashion is also known for bold statements and colors, and it’s not something they forgot about for spring 2016. This was captured easily in the bold stripes streaking across the runways.

Slick silver
Bright and metallic silver was a popular choice, appearing on both separates and full-length looks.
Trailing tassels
