 As in New York, the London and Milan runways continued to be filled with color and graphic prints. Cobalt and red were joined by acid green and teal as the hot colors of the season. The runways were color saturated, down to the furs (a trend which started last fall in New York and became a must have for spring thanks to Prada's hot hued scarves.)

The uneven hemlines seen in New York were still prevalent, along with some other slashing and cutting, namely of the decollete and thigh high type. The most glorious versions of the full length slit were at Roksanda Ilincic, in London and Gucci, in Milan.

Although midi and maxi lengths have dominated so far this season, with Victorian, 30s, 70s and even 90s references continuing to be seen, shorter lengths with an early 60s feel  appeared on several runways. Above the knee shift dresses, with a mod feel, as well as dropped waists and shoulders were seen at Burberry and Richard Nicoll in London, with the trend receiving a powerful endorsement by Prada in Milan.

The roles of masculinity and femininity seemed to be on designers’ minds, with ultra fem versions of menswear at Ferragamo and   an 80’s tomboy charm at Dolce and Gabbana.

The luxe fabrics of choice this season, from chiffon, to lace, satin and most recently python, combined with eye popping color has given us plenty of eye candy to lust after for next fall.
