Many Italian women dress up in Minis, although these clothes could be lengthened by a metre or so before they hit the stores.
Frida Giannini gave the disco influence by starting with her teeny Lurex halter neck dresses last season.
Also Alberta Ferretti's lovely jeweled silk-jersey vest dresses or blouson slipper satin smocks ought to be lengthened by the time they reach the shops.
Ferretti struck in some ankle-length shift-dresses.
They looked subtle and ample enough to be fashionably interesting, but also, as the long grey satin shift with a skinny silver snakeskin belt that threaded through the dress and across the model Carmen Kass's bare back was sexy.
If one is looking to make a splash at the next Rio carnival, then it may be that the micro-dresses that had helpfully already half-fallen off the models by the time they reached halfway down the catwalk are too safe for words.
