@prada, @labembika for @ferragamo
The Milan shows have come to a close, which means we’re almost done with fashion month. While we all eagerly anticipate the major Paris presentations, let's take a look at the trends unveiled in the Italian fashion capital. Here are 8 trends from Milan Fashion Week FW24 to watch out for! Which ones are your favorites?
Monochrome
The most vivid trend from Milan Fashion Week FW24? Monochrome. Minimalist but at the same time bold, same-hued outfits totally dominated the recent shows. At Dolce & Gabbana, the designers went for an all-black look, with the collection playing on the classic tuxedo (a similar concept the duo explored at Men’s Fashion Week with "Sleek"). Joining them on the moody end of the spectrum were Tom Ford and Ferragamo. For more colorful, monochromatic options in wasabi greens, passion reds, and sky blues, check out presentations from Gucci and Jil Sander.

Coquette Redefined
If you're just as chronically online as we are, you've likely noticed the huge trend that's the coquette aesthetic right now. Obsession with bows, ribbons, everything pastel and romantic has been taking social media by storm since mid-2023 and shows no signs of slowing down. And of course, designers and brands wasted no time in putting their own spin on the trend. While Simone Rocha and Molly Goddard owned the coquette vibe in London, Prada took the lead in Milan. The brand unveiled a handful of poetic silhouettes with a twist. Prada’s coquette loves laces and flowers but also has a colder, even moody side. She effortlessly pairs her very feminine bow-adorned dress with utilitarian boots and an officer hat.

The Higher, The Better
Speaking of footwear, over-the-knee boots seem to be a big thing in 2024! First, for the SS24 season, and now for FW24, many designers embrace the motto “the higher the boots, the better.” Take cues from MM6, Gucci and Fendi shows!

Fuzzy Heels
But if you want to add some extra fun and qurkiness to your footwear, you'll want to check out the fuzzy heels trend! They're adorable and cozy, which is basically the perfect combination, right? Everyone from MSGM and Jil Sander to Ferragamo and Versace had at least one model wearing them.

Distressed Clothing
Diesel continues to reign supreme in distressed designs on the runways: worn-out leather sets, jersey shirts with a sweat-like effect, heavily washed-out button-downs, and lots of multilayering. So, the trend on pieces with "a story" is definitely something to get excited about! But what really got people talking this time around was Diesel's innovative multiverse presentation concept, which took transparency and audience experience to a whole new level.

Fringe
Fringe is not cringe! Fashion designers are totally on board with this idea. For stylish references, take a peek at Bottega Veneta's collection. The Creative Director of the brand, Matthieu Blazy, and his team have been showing love for fringe for quite a while now. You can also find more fringe-spiration at Ferragamo, Tod's, and Jil Sander.

Leopard Motif
Next fall say “yes” to leopard prints! The biggest fan of the motif on MFW was, perhaps, Blumarine. We’ve seen lots of leopard-inspired tights, fur coats, dresses and shirts. Similarly, the print made it to the Versace, Diesel and Marni runways.

A Shoulder to Lean On
Powerful silhouettes with oversized shoulders, embracing both femininity and masculinity, remain beloved by many designers, as seen in collections from Sportmax, Dolce & Gabbana, and GCDS.
