Milan Fashion Week spring/summer 2013: Best street style looks
While the catwalk displays roll on, check out all the hottest looks from Milan's fashion show goers here.
A slogan T-shirt and some contrast block colouring make this brightly adorned fashionista stand out from the crowds.
A touch of sailor chic spruces up this show goer's muted palette.
n paper, this show goer's outfit all sounds a tad mumsy: a gypsy-esque
denim skirt, blouse and multi-coloured jacket. Add a lick of purple
lippy and some embellished heels, and this look makes for one hot mama.
Rocking floral noir-chic and some battered DMs, this off-duty model
rocks the wet look hair style with the nonchalance of those in the know.
This fashion show goer adds a cute collar and shades to spruce up the dated image of graduation gown chic, in this draped jacket
The perfect all-round dress for a versatile fashion week, this Milan
show goer looks at ease in her high collared, flash-of-pink ensemble.
Smart tailoring, a leather-look skirt, embellished shoes and an arm
party to die for: this is one savvy trend follower, who has mastered the
effortless look, too.
All eyes are on this knitted fashionista with her original styling and cute hair bow.

iPad envy, anyone? This chipper chappy lets his high-tech accessories do the talking.
Milan Fashion Week: Best accessories
From fur to florals, see what Milan had to offer on the accessories scene for spring 2013.
Sleek fascinators sliding down towards models' eyes gradually reached new heights of embellishment, until
Giorgio Armani
finished his collection with this silver show-stopper.
Patent patches on this
Versus
backpack give a sleek, shiny feel to the sports-inspired Aertex netting.
Heavily embellished, floral-inspired necklines in bold colours meant
Gucci's
models were sent down the runway looking like tropical glamazons.
Fendi's
bobble clutches were accessorised with neat
little cubes to swing happily alongside them. While some blocks touted
fur, leather numbers were also on offer for those less partial to the
Italian house's signature work with animal skins.
MaxMara's
shoes seem to fade from leopard print into deep,
dark reptile scales, while remaining less high street and more edgy
with a square toe and block heel.
Whether appearing like a weapon of choice or a piece of dramatic crystal art work,
Missoni
certainly made a statement with their necklines in Milan.
Next season's must-have specs gave model's a cutesy floral brow line at
Prada
. What's not to love?
The trend for mini-bags is still going strong at
Ermanno Scervino.
Chances are you won't break your back carrying this tiny purse string.
Looking slightly like metal rays of sunshine hanging down, whatever the inspiration behind
Etro
's earrings was, it certainly works.
A distant cousin to the wine cooler family,
Emporio Armani's
rotund carry-all stood out against the barrage of clutches and boxy numbers in Milan.
Milan Men's Fashion Week: Roundup
Paul Surridge's Bridget Riley-loud patterns on high-lapelled suits, grilled white leather bags (great for cat transport) and square-pocketed shorts were "fashion" in the tradition of Prada and Jil Sander, but often sportily practical too.
VERSACE
Absolutely ridiculous, this show was among the campest I've ever seen and featured models wearing those boxing belts, gladiator sandals and brief budgie-smugglers galore. But there was method in Versace's madness - next summer it launches new swimming and underwear lines.
Sock-rating: only with sandals for evening wear.

MOSCHINO
Presumably Moschino's lawyers got permission from Coca-Cola, Budweiser and the many other commercial brands whose logos it gleefully ripped off in this irreverent collection held in an upscale Milan supermarket. If not, they may be getting some calls today. Excellent fun that turned mass consumption into classy clothes.
Sock-rating: there was a swordfish, but no socks.

MONCLER GAMME BLEU
A troupe of very sweaty On The Town tapdancers opened this nautically themed show. It featured cape-like coats made of sailing materials that were wierdly attached to the models' ankles with bungees, and worn over an evening suit.

GUCCI
The Gucci designer Frida Giannini often goes for the tight-trousered Italian stallion look, but this season she loosened up a little with Lapo Elkann-esque, quirkily colourful suiting and summer macintoshes, plus moccasins and mankles aplenty.
Sock-rating: not one to be seen.

PRADA
There were women in this Prada show, who wore fur coats (impractical for summer but beloved of the Chinese), burgundy suiting, Royal Tenenbaums headbands and white-piped vest tops that echoed the menswear. Androgynously unisex attire for fashion's deep thinkers.
Sock-rating: always - with sports sandals.

DOLCE & GABANNA
A particularly interesting show because it rejected models in favour of "real" Sicilians. The trousers and shorts were worryingly high-waisted at times, but the patterned polo shirts and suit jackets were excellent.
Sock-rating: the shoes were open at the side for added foot-flashing convenience. No socks with sandals.

SALVATORE FERRAGAMO
The most colourful collection of all, this was entertaining to look at but might be difficult to wear. Sometimes mixing pistachio with sky blue, turquoise, yellow and plenty of orange all in one look, it worked most practically when the colour clashes were pared back a bit.
Sock rating: possibly there, beneath pulsatingly coloured trainers.

GIORGIO ARMANI
Pleated trousers have long been about as edgy as Cliff Richard. Fashions, however, always come around again and yesterday's Giorgo Armani made a great case for a pleat pant renaissance. It makes sense, really, because the peak collared double breasted jacket shape that is on the rise really needs a bit of legroom around the thigh to look good top-to-toe.
Luke Leitch brings you the highs and the lows from Milan Men's Fashion Week spring/summer 2013.
