Giorgio Armani showed his take on polished elegance with capes over dresses and flippy skirts.
Square-shouldered jackets over short, semi-wrapped shirts were reminiscent of the 1980s.
He added color to his line with plenty of red and orange tops and jackets, and sleeveless dresses covered in tiger print or embroideries.
For evening wear, there were sleek black velvet dresses decorated with jewels.
At Gucci, designer Frida Giannini drew on the brand's golden eras of the 1970s and 1990s for her sleek collection, playing up the label's sartorial qualities.
Oversized, deconstructed cashmere coats and collarless cropped jackets were paired with printed silk tops and skinny trousers.
Figure-hugging dresses with metal collars and cuffs had cuts in various places, to expose skin.
The designer stuck to white, camel, ice grey, brick, black and tobacco colors.
Giannini showed patterned chantilly lace dresses, decorated with sparkling sequins or embroided with ostrich feathers for evening wear.
Lace stockings and crocodile sandals completed the look.
