Despite Covid-19 restrictions, Milan Fashion Week proved that the show must, and will always, go on. And it wasn't all doom and gloom too. Designers showcased collections that remind of happier days to come (or, of the past).

Many labels sent out clothes walking the line of themes like "renewal","escapism" and "hope". Optimism was big on the Milan runways for Spring/Summer 2021.
