A/W '16 recap: Ciao Milano! The last days of MFW

The finale of the Dolce & Gabbana show

Diesel Black Gold: Returning to Milan after 7 years at NYFW, Diesel presented a predictably urban collection with a fresh, prim and polished update. Utilitarian basics, A-line shapes and classic styles were seen in a clean palette of navy, black and white

Emporio Armani: Armani goes pop! With brightly-coloured, geometric shapes and graphic prints sprinkled through an '80s-inspired collection, the younger sister label to Giorgio Armani was playful, daring and party-ready.

Sportmax: Deep, rich shades of olive, Bordeaux and saffron finished a Moroccan-esque collection heavy in textural prints, patchwork and stripes. The earthy offering conjured up romantic imagery of a chic nomad layering souvenir materials from her travels.

Etro: Also like something of a travelling gypsy in tone, Etro's combined, piled-on aesthetic looked as though sourced from the far reaches of the globe before being thrown together backstage in a '90s, band-on-tour kind of way.

Bottega Veneta: Slightly more grounded and sober in mood, this collection featured precision tailoring and knee-length dresses. With a retro elegance (bouncing somewhere between '50s and '70s references) this was a collection for modern sophisticate.

Versace: Only Donatella could throw together a litany of military-meets-trackstar-meets-ski bunny-meets-psychedelic trippie-meets-biker babe references and still have it come together with undeniable sex-appeal and hyper femininity.

Antonio Marras: Inspired by an ill-fated 19th century love story, Marras’ collection seemed to be mourning love lost with a sense of madness and eccentricity. Patchworked furs and fine fabrics were layered dramatically, accented with whimsical detail.

Marni: A truly beautiful collection taking the simple starting point of smooth lines, circles and curves and translating them into expertly moulded cape shoulders, curved hems, balloon sleeves, translucent disc embellishment and stirrup pants.

Missoni: The 100 per cent knitwear collection when together, made for an eccentric bohemian wardrobe, whether the striped suit jackets, the trailing scarves or oversized cardigans, it was a proud display of the house's strengths.

Giorgio Armani: Tailored black velvet formed the foundations of this collection, building with borrowed-from-the-boys suiting, floral prints, tweed separates and soft tailoring.

Dolce & Gabbana: Catering to the Disney-raised values in us all, Dolce presented a suitably fantastical collection inspired by fairytales and princesses. Glitter, embroidered mice, teddy bears, enchanted mirrors and more featured across almost 100 looks.
