There are many layers to a woman's character－minimalist and sophisticated, elegant but powerful, fashion-forward yet effortless－just like Italian luxury brand Giada recently showed at Milan Fashion Week.

The brand showcased its 2017 fall/winter collection at the historical national library, Biblioteca Nazionale Braidense, on Feb 26.

Inspired by German artist Katrin Bremermann and American designers Charles and Ray Eames, the collection continues the label's minimalist vibe, combining sophisticated draping with upscale materials.

The latest collection features oversized woolen and cashmere coats, and the mohair sweaters come with pleated silk chiffon skirts, creating a relaxed and effortless look.

The skirts are printed on both sides, creating a dynamic, fluid effect as the models walk by.

Giada's classic palette of gray, navy and white are enlivened by terracotta, red, green and olive.

Jewelry inspired by British artist Barbara Hepworth's abstract sculptures adorn the models' necklines, belts and wrists.
