Aside from the standard studios and showrooms, many of Milan’s fashion shows are held in historic, outdoor landmarks—like the Piazza Duomo (Milan’s central square and home to the city’s cathedral), the courtyard of the Castello Sforzesco (a 15th-century castle), and the Arco della Pace (triumphal arch located in Parco Sempione).

TRENDS

•There’s always been two prevailing beauty teams in Milan:1. The ultra sexy bombshells (Versace, Roberto Cavalli, Dolce &

Gabbana) 2. The wonderfully wacky (Prada, Marni, Fendi).

It’s obviously much easier to convey the former.

But it’s the latter that’s always so much more exciting to witness, and this season was no exception

•Milan Fashion Week’s beauty trends were all about celebrating Freaks And Geeks.
