MILAN (AP) — Milan designers dipped into neutrals and muted tones for next summer on the second day of Milan Fashion Week. The color story on Wednesday reflected both a conservative streak in troubled times and a move toward thoughtful production of garments that can anchor any wardrobe. Even Roberto Cavalli opened with understated raw cotton dresses in white, before exploding in colored sunsets and bright hues. Boss designer Marco Falcioni deliberately loosened up the suit sending an out-of-office message to the universe. Swing dancers and a four-piece saxophone-led band set an upbeat tone at Antonio Marras’ runway show, which featured a summery collection celebrating picture postcard destinations.
