We may talk a lot about French-girl fashion over here at Who What Wear, but we can't deny that we're enraptured by the personality-driven, elegant, and bold style that Italians do so well. Of course, it's not just us editors who love Italian style. This fall, Bloomingdale's launched its From Italy, With Love campaign—celebrating Italy's enduring influence on style and how it permeates the American landscape and helps set the trends—that spotlights over 150 participating brands, including Moschino and La DoubleJ, and over 300 exclusive products as well as the launch of over 30 brands in store and online.
I tapped Bloomingdale's Fashion Director Marissa Galante Frank, who recently came back from Milan Fashion Week and helped curate the From Italy, With Love edit. Below, she dives into the styles and trends she saw on the runways and streets and shares her top products from the Italian brands and designers at Bloomingdale's. Keep scrolling to get inspired.
"Chocolate brown was on the color palette of almost every designer in Milan this season. Historically, chocolate is more present during fall collections, but on the spring runways, designers balanced it with candy-coated pastels to create a palette that had fresh contrast on the runway."
