From winter into summer
At the September 26 Milan show, Louise Trotter focused less on narrative than on movement: the gradual shedding of winter protection as spring arrives. After padded-shoulder coats and knotted hems, the collection grew progressively lighter.
Let the material speak
Pastels, handmade white lace, open crochet and large-scale intrecciato worked as structure rather than decoration. Flashes of lilac, butter yellow and electric red proved that craftsmanship need not feel heavy.
The editorial verdict
The strongest idea was the tension between everyday life and luxury. Trotter treated costly, atelier-intensive clothes as pieces meant to be lived in. The result was more than a sequence of beautiful objects: it was a wearable calendar of seasons.
