We’ve seen plenty of minimalist lines at the Milan Fashion Week spring 2020 edition, however, there are several designers who make a compelling case for bold, maximalist looks as well. The definition of a head-turning ensemble varied from one label to another, however elegance and sultriness were the common denominator. Here are some of the coolest looks that caught our eye:
MFW Spring 2020: Dolce & Gabbana – Sicily Meets Ancient Greece
Designers Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce don’t need to look to far for creative insights: the beauty of Sicily proves a vast source of inspiration season after season. For spring 2020, the two focused on the region’s glorious past: “It’s a dream of Sicily. Like, you go on holiday to Syracuse or Taormina, and you see the Greek theater, then you come home and dream about it,” Stefano Gabbana explained. 
The duo’s unique vision was materialized though Ancient Greece temple motifs, coin patterns, polka dots, chic spring blossoms textural accents and eclectic prints. Ultra feminine lace and silk dresses, high waist skirts, fur trimmed car coats, statement “coin” belts, bold earrings, rhinestone-studded sandals and chic handbags were among the most attention-grabbing creations from the new line.

MFW Spring 2020: Missoni – Japanese Influences
Angela Missoni wasn’t satisfied with a single source of inspiration for her new line.

A myriad of eclectic motifs attracted attention: volcano prints, seascapes, stripes abstract accents. As for the defining pieces of the new line, chic sarongs, boxy cotton and silk T-shirts, asymmetrical dresses or chic caftan and sari-inspired silhouettes were among the most notable examples.
