Milan Fashion Week: The 5 Spring 2010 Trends We Can't Wait For!

1. RISQUE SWIMWEAR

Slashed fabric (see Emporio Armani, left) and strategic twists and ties (Emilio Pucci, right) made for some very sexy swimwear on the Milan runways. I wouldn't recommend wearing these against bare flesh. Layer over a bright one-piece or bikini, slip on a pair of shorts and slides, throw a woven beach basket over your shoulder and dunzo. You're THE hautest girl at the beach.

2. MATCHY MATCHY ACCESSORIES

Antonio Marras showed models toting bags in prints taken from the jackets/skirts/dresses they were wearing. LOVED the idea of a bag for a specific outfit and also mixing it up by carrying the bag while wearing a clashing print -- another trend that's big for fall '09 AND spring '10.

3. LACE 2.0

Lace has been taken out of the attic, shaken out, and infused with cool in the spring '10 shows. In London, Caroline Charles and Jasper Conran were among the designers who used the sometimes treacly fabric to create lush, luxe, and hipster looks. In Milan, Marni's spring 2010 (pictured above) also featured a cool not-your-Grandma's lace tunic dress. Slip this on (over a slip please), then step into a pair of espadrilles and you'll be good to go next spring.

4. HIGHLY-CONSTRUCTED DRESSES

Every now and then a lady wants to feel wrapped up like the luxe gift that she is. Aquilano.Rimondi (left) and Love Sex Money (right) get that and created highly-constructed homages for their respective spring 2010 lines.

5. DIAPHANOUS DRESSES WITH ATTITUDE

Usually, sheer dresses are long, sexy, and floating in dreamy panels as a leggy model sashays down the runway, but for spring '10, in keeping with the tough girl / edgy romance vibe of the season, Fendi presented this little white deconstructed dress, while Roberto Cavalli created this rough, ruffled, gently-tiered look for his diffusion line, Just Cavalli. Love it!
