SCMP Reporter

Spring-summer trend check-list:
Fringes - big in Milan, especially swagged silk threads at Alberta Ferretti and Alessandro dell'Acqua.
Shoulders - line-backer style or voluminous (even Stella McCartney and Marc Jacobs got  in on the act!); it's as if Mugler never went away.
Sequins - the only sparklers we can afford in the credit crunch (1).
Pyjamorama - Men's PJ's at Dolce & Gabbana, leotards at Gaultier and the  sparkly catsuit at McQueen (2).
Embellishments -  the more of them you pile on the better (3).
Wild West - Hermes and Givenchy used cowboys as inspiration (4).
The safari suit - think 1970s-style, paired with shorts.
Asymmetry - one-shoulder dresses, long and short, and everywhere.
The 80s - aside from the big shoulders there was bare midriffs, Alaia shoulders and exposed skin.
Geometry - boxes and other shapes at Fendi, Marni, Pucci and Dries.
Monochrome - who doesn't feel grey at some point?
Bows - mostly as decoration at Chloe and YSL (5).
Metallic sheen - designers played with techniques for shimmering fabrics.
Pleats - a big hit at Miu Miu or used as random insets on the Milan catwalk (6).
Sheer pieces - used for layering on top of other fabrics.
Squashed bags - choose styles  that fit comfortably in the palm of your hand as seen at Miu Miu and Louis Vuitton.
Mini skirts - pelmet length in Milan, of course, but also Paris.
