To Milan, Italian fashion brand Dolce & Gabbana has transported guests to a warm and busy Italian street setting for their spring/summer 2017 catwalk show. Also showcasing their collections on Sunday are Missoni and Marni.

It was coconuts all round as Dolce & Gabbana unveiled a tropically-tinted collection for next spring and summer with a typically joyful show in Milan on Sunday.

The loud and bright collection by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, known for their rich and embellished looks, carried all the typical elements of their style throughout the years, in a jubilation of gold, laces, embroidery, sequins, flowers, Madonnas, food, animal prints and lights.

Skirts and dresses seemed more like canvases, with pasta, fish, tomatoes, bread as well as roses and sunflowers and drums, Italian flags, portraits of the Madonna and crucifixes.

Models wore gold earrings, headbands made of pasta, roses and crowns, some made of lights, and on their feet high-heeled sandals.

For the finale, models changed to short embroidered skirts and white t-shirts featuring a black D&G logo. They were joined by street dancers in a vivacious closing dance.

Angela Missoni brings simplicity to new collection

The Missoni looks for next season flow and wrap, emphasizing the fineness of the brand's knitwear.

The silhouette is exceedingly clear: Micro mini, or long and flowing. Tank dresses have surprising color combinations: stripes of dark green or black, and with strong shades of red, green and yellow. Metallic yarn runs through the collection.

The knitwear is close to the body, with curves emphasized by scarves or sweaters wrapped around the middle. Palazzo pant jumpsuits create movement and flow, as do long trailing cardigans over shorter dresses.

Marni spring/summer 2017 collection focuses on waist

Marni's collection for next spring and summer appeared to be of such a complex construction that it would seem to require a dress maid, or at least written instructions, perhaps even a video.

Accordion pleated dresses wrapped around along the bias, trailing ribbons or rope drawstrings. Tops with manifold folds and dragging cuffs fastened at the waist with a metallic buckle, and tuck into drawstring skirts.

On skirts, the arched hemline of previous seasons was revisited.

Colors are mostly basics, from white to beige to black, with flashes of emerald green, dusty pink and hues of blue. Marni prints for the season include florals and gentle geometrics. Big baubles and pointy shoes finish the looks.
