Fashion for real-life women — some for those on the go, others for those requiring a little more glamour — was on show on Day 5 of Milan Fashion Week.
DSquared2
Dean and Dan Caten showed a series of everyday looks with a grunge twist for women on the go. In order to make sure you all get the point, they had the models carry cups of Starbucks coffee, newspapers, and shopping bags. Their series of boyfriend blazers, cuffed trousers, denim skirts and multi-layered T-shirts had a certain just-threw-it-on quality that sometimes looked kind of messy. But all-in-all, the collection had great basic wardrobe additions for a Saturday of errand running. —Kenya Hunt
Max Mara
The Italian house continued the glamour theme of the week. Only its definition of the idea for fall is more understated and less bling, which made a nice change. Standouts included a brown voluminous buttonless coat with cuffed sleeves worn over a chocolate sweater and black pencil skirt layered over a metallic slip. On the accessories front, their studded platform heels and chic leather gloves gave their sophisticated looks a youthful edge. —Kenya Hunt
