I've covered 'The Bold...', now I've looked at one designer who decided to follow the other main trend of SS 2011- pure and simple.
Milan is known for the fashion week that features the big, established design houses, such as Versace, Gucci, D&G etc, but rarely can you see new designers emerging. Mainly because it is notoriously hard to begin a career in design in Milan.
This collection wouldn't have looked out of place at NYFW.
What particularly attracted me to Colangelo's collection was 2 things: his inspiration- the work of Wolfgang Tillman and his fabrics- thread encased in silk organza that created an innovative new textile, whilst remaining simple and clean.

His sense of layering was, again, very different compared to most of the Milan shows- consisting of gradual transparencies and subtle colour changes, like 'midnight blue' to 'dove grey'.
I would say there were similarities to Simone Rocha at Fashion East last week.
