Milan Shoes & Bags: Micam and Mipel: 3.5 days of inspiration and fashion power in Milan.
After the often rather restrained collections in Germany, the Micam was much more elegant.
However, exceptions such as Floris van Bommel and the sneaker segment showed that colour can also be used in winter.
The theme of boots will pick up even more momentum in winter 25-26.
The biker and, above all, the modern minimalist western boot will lead the way in the informed trade. Gaucho, collar boots that combine pithiness and elegance. Heels will remain moderate in height and comfort will become increasingly important.
Fur textures and plush in bags and also sneakers and ballerinas are a dominant theme. Let if be curly.
Shades of brown are the order of the day for outerwear, shoes and bags.
What do you combine with all the earthy cognac and nougat chocolate colours?
Either tone on tone, or as a deliberate contrast, beautiful disruptors such as purple and viola tones through to yellow.
Yes, they work wonderfully together, and are also urgently needed to decorate shop windows.
A slight optimism could be heard at both Micam and Mipel.
The visitor structure was once again pleasingly international.
The Italian market is not having an easy time, both for exports and in the stationary trade.
It is of course important to only moderately increase key price points and to offer customers security.
Nevertheless, the cherry on the cake was sought and very often found in Milan.
So winter remains optimistic after all.
