Unexpected volumes were the big story on today s Milly runway. Michelle Smith showed a fresh Fall collection full of couture-inspired shapes that felt imaginative and different for the brand that built itself on ladylike designs with an edge.
Cases in point: the shocking-pink, structured jumper dress with origamilike loop details; and a techno taffeta miniskirt with padded hips. But fear not, ladies. While padded hips may sound like an unflattering fashion trap for those who aren t sample size, Smith assured us backstage after the show that she had all the girls on her team (with a variety of body types) try out the look, and now they re reportedly total believers. The key is balancing out the dramatic lower half with a slim top like the on-trend turtlenecks worn here.
Less experimental Milly fans will also find plenty of classic, flirty merch with endless layering possibilities, like leather circle skirts and quilted nylon vests.
