From leopard print to gothica, we round up the trends that matter from Milan Fashion Week autumn/winter 2012.

Stuck on repeat
Repeat patterns were evident in so many of the Milan collections that it's almost easier to count which didn't have them. Clashing bright colours, geometric shapes, and different fabrics, they are the perfect way to fit more into your outfit.

For fur's sake
It doesn't matter what colour, shape, size or style - if Milan fashion dictates your style, you'd better have some fur.
