Milan Fashion Week is continuing with more designer labels setting out their trends for Spring and Summer 2010.

Byblos went sci-fi in Milan. On the catwalk this combination was demonstrated in the body-hugging natural patterns of silk dresses and the rigid structures of coats, complete with rounded shoulders.

Armour-like layered panels on necks and arms imply the models are half human and half robot. Designer Manuel Facchini explains that the inspiration comes from a mutation between a Jurassic kind of human being and something very contemporary like a cyborg.

On another catwalk, Dolce and Gabbana, the now grown-up enfants-terribles of sizzling fashion, have cooled down their look for next winter, presenting a young woman whose primary concern is to be well-dressed.

In Milan they presented a collection dedicated to the Sicilian "signora" where workmanship makes the difference.

Using a little black jacket as a starting point, the duo unraveled a passionate collection of perfectly tailored suits and coats, elegant silk negligee dresses and demure velvet evening gowns.
