  • Story Text: Milan fashion week has started to heat up with Italian designers Chiara Boni and Gai Mattiolo presenting their spring-summer 1999 womenswear collections.

    Long and sexy was the statement at Chiara Boni's show late on Saturday (October 3) night, but the Florentine designer looked to the 1930s to set the mood.Models wore feathered hats or carried fluffy boas as they moved languidly down the catwalk in long, sequined dresses.

    Italian fashion designer Gai Mattiolo's collection unveiled by the 30-year-old newcomer demonstrated on Sunday (October 4) why he has been called "the new Versace." "The collection will be very light and very sexy at the same time," he told Reuters backstage before the show."I don't want to cover up my women with too many things." And while many of the dresses were slit to the thigh or backless, Mattiolo managed to make his models seem glamorous and sexy without resorting to streetwalker tactics.British supermodel Naomi Campbell led the charge, gliding down the runway in a relatively sober pants suit.

    There were also pastel plaid skirts paired with tight little matching pastel sweaters.For a more elegant daytime look, there were tight grey skirts ending below the knee worn with shimmery black sweaters with transparent arms.A trio of soft leather dresses had sexy slits running up the front or sides.But most of the collection was full-length slim dresses in black or white.The white dresses had long fringes at the hem that swayed hypnotically back and forth.While the black dresses were often sheer, worn with body suits underneath or with sexy little tanga underwear.

    Mattiolo started designing in 1994 and opened his first Milan store this week.
