Milan, home to some of Europe’s leading fashion boutiques, is always one of the first cities to introduce the fall season’s new looks, picking up the trends from the June fashion shows.

This year’s look: elegant, luxurious materials and dark colors. Metallic surfaces reflect the textile structures and repeat them on a larger scale as background scenery. But the serious, somber tones are given vitality by colored lights in pink, green or purple. Burberry’s store in Milan presented opulent decorations and propping to complement the latest outerwear.

In Parisian windows, it’s all about unconventional style and unusual and creative merchandise presentations at the leading fashion houses, boutiques and department stores. Alber Elbaz, the designer and head of visuals at the House of Lanvin, used no classical mannequins or decorations in his windows – just a few pieces of furniture in unusual sizes, an artistic attraction for all as the days grow shorter.

Europe's is definitely one of the countries with great fashion boutiques especially in Milan which is the City of Fashion. The boutiques in Milan are so many and the displays changes if the season changes like when the winter falls you could definitely expect that they would have nice clothes for you to choose. That is one of the best thing in Milan. Guy Riordan
