Fabrics and textures took center stage in the catwalk shows of Blumarine on Saturday, in the fourth day of Milan's fashion week.

Blumarine's Anna Molinari dedicated most of her women's spring/summer 2017 to designs in broderie anglaise, and her shoes were decorated with raffia fringes.

"Surfaces get textural and tactile, opposing the delicate and the sturdy.. The crafty touch of raffia details and inlay works," read a designer note.

Models wore short cropped tops with balloon-shaped shoulders or long camisoles over revealing shorts. Some carried straw pointed hats, giving a nomadic feel to the collection.

The broderie anglaise looks were interrupted by fabrics with brightly colored flowers and light and transparent pink checkered textiles.

Neutral whites, browns and sand colors were invigorated by a metallic bronzed wraparound dress with a belt and leaf-shaped details and pink designs.

A model wore a layered light pink dress with silver sequins recalling blooming flowers.
