Milly

NEW YORK, February 15, 2012

Unexpected volumes were the big story on today's Milly runway. Michelle Smith showed a fresh Fall collection full of couture-inspired shapes that felt imaginative and different for the brand that built itself on ladylike designs with an edge.

Cases in point: the shocking-pink, structured jumper dress with origamilike loop details; and a techno taffeta miniskirt with padded hips. But fear not, ladies. While padded hips may sound like an unflattering fashion trap for those who aren't sample size, Smith assured us backstage after the show that she had all the girls on her team (with a variety of body types) try out the look, and now they're reportedly total believers. The key is balancing out the dramatic lower half with a slim top like the on-trend turtlenecks worn here.

Less experimental Milly fans will also find plenty of classic, flirty merch with endless layering possibilities, like leather circle skirts and quilted nylon vests.
