Milan Womenswear: The top moments from days one and two: in pictures

Miuccia Prada's show felt like her greatest hits, with recognisable silhouettes and fabrication. Add to this the familiar past model faces, Kirsten Owen, Liisa Winkler and Esther de Jong and you can see why. The collection followed one beautiful dress after another wrapped in a coat slightly dropping from the shoulder. There was an undertone throughout of disarray and a little Hitchcock tension as the models gripped oversize gingham checked weekend bags Photograph: Victor VIRGILE/Gamma-Rapho/Getty

There's something about an oversized camel coat that screams buy me, and next season MaxMara is the place to shop for a voluminous duffel or overcoat. The opening exits of layered camel included new fabrication such as spun alpaca that gave the appearance of fur, and camelhair and cashmere mixes Photograph: PR

The fashion stylists favourite show. Alessandro Dell'Acqua's label No. 21 mixed tweeds, checks, embroidery, masculine/feminine and sparkle. Eyed up by most of the stylists were the sparkly socks. This was enough to cheer up the most miserable of tired fashion editors.

Love editor Katie Grand's second collaboration with Hogan, entitled “Gang”, showcased an upbeat film featuring girl of the moment Cara Delevingne, Tallulah Harlech, Stephanie Seymour and Ondria Hardin dans the latest collection. Zebra was the predominant print – on bags, high tops and slipper shoes. It appears that Miss Delevingne is not just a pretty face but can swing her hips and sing, too - to the soundtrack to the short film, in fact, “I Want Candy”. Is there no end to her talents… Photograph: PR

Karl Lagerfeld is certainly known for a statement accessory, and this season at Fendi it was the furry-armed glasses, bangles, bags, belts and boots. The collection was fun and bold, topped off with models adorn with mohawks of coloured fox attached to their heads. Slightly bizarre were the fur owls hanging from every bag. This week has seen a definite textures trend Photograph: Venturelli/WireImage/Getty

Re-using the catwalk set seems to be a recurring theme in Milan, and Dan and Dean Caten at Dsquared2 took us back to the 1940's jazz club set for their womenswear presentation. The strongest pieces were the tailored trouser and skirt suits, in shades of powder blue and sage green.

Gucci's creative director Frida Giannini's name checked Allen Jones, the British pop artist and his fetish aesthetics as her inspiration. The predominately black collection portrayed a strong sexy woman with a dangerous femininity. The standout looks were a second skin python pencil skirt suit and a purple suit with leather turtleneck layered underneath. Juxtaposed to this were the demure, understated wool pieces, such the boxy powder blue coat, a huge hit with the fashion pact Photograph: PR

It was a mix of long, clean and minimal against a flirty, feminine skater skirt silhouette at Alberta Ferretti's Autumn/Winter 2013 show. One eye-catching evening dress was rich purple velvet, floor sweepingly long and loved even more due to the deep plunging side pockets Photograph: PR
