MILAN FASHION WEEK

Designer Andreas Melbostad created pretty, utilitarian looks combining frills with military detailing for the Diesel Black Gold label. The duality is underlined by the colour choices: dusty pink and faded olive. Ruffled baby doll dresses in military shades were paired with sneaker-boots, while pink high-waisted trousers were worn with bra tops. Hair was braided and collected into buns for a look of fierce femininity — think Katniss of

franchise. Jeans had eyelet panels and lace trimming for a romantic effect, while a plethora of drawstrings swinging from jackets promised secret purposes. Gladiator sandals and sneakers added to the warrior spirit.
