Milan fashion has always been about overt sexiness. Tight, bright and sparkly. But all that has changed, says Jess Cartner-Morley
Milan fashion week used to be so simple. It did sexy. Molto sexy. Revealing, attention-seeking frocks of the it-does-what-it-says-on-the-tin, hormone-charging variety. Some seasons it was sexy-boho, sometimes it was fierce-sexy, sometimes it was Lolita-sexy, but – [...]
