MILAN FASHION WEEK S/S 2016

Milan Fashion Week always had a special place in my heart – maybe because I can relate best to the Italians style of dressing, maybe it has something to do with their contagious “joie de vivre” or their show-stopping feet-candies which can effortlessly pass as contemporary works of art … I don’t know what it is and I’m not gone try to find a reason…One thing for sure – this season, once again Milan showed its best, spoiling us with a mesmerizing dose of timeless refinement. Unable to leave behind the statement-making event, I took things further, checking out the unique details that took some of the MFW S/S 2016 collections to new heights. My favorites, down-below.
