More fashion trends seen in Italy

More fashion trends seen in Italy... Knitted garments were plentiful and I took pictures of the items that intrigued me most. In addition to what I posted previously, I also noticed trends in: garments knit side to side rather than bottom to top, collars and lapels are common (sometimes even exaggerated), ruffles are prominent as edging for collars or along button band, long or emphasized cuffs, organic or rounded shaping and knitted buttons. All of this gives me design inspiration for future Nihon Vogue projects!

I'm going to Florence in a couple weeks and your post has given me a good idea of what's in style over there. I love sweater dresses and cardigans and it looks like they have a lot of them:) Were most of these pics taken in Florence?
