Bally Retro

The setting for the Bally presentation was a 1970’s New York apartment set.  It was fitting because the collection was all about Retro, even the logo on the bags was from a past era. I would not say this was the brands strongest collection but it was fun.

Milan Fashion Week Menswear-Canali

Black and Paper review from Milan Fashion Week Men of the Canali Spring Collection.

Soft, sleek, and clean are the words that come to mind. Introducing a new fabric “Impeccabile 2.0” a material is light combined with a level of weather versatility.    The silhouettes were vertical produced with fine tailored details.  A collection that was based on luxurious elements with minimal qualities, the Canali team lacks a creative director but this did not stop the brand from creating wonderful garments, the collection was both casual and semi-formal.  I especially liked the suits because of the youthful yet sophisticated qualities.

Marni from Milan Fashion Week Men’s

Black and Paper paid a visit to the Marni Showroom during Milan Fashion for re-see.  The brand received acclaim for this season’s collection titled “Lost and Found”, a journey of self-discovery is how the press release describes the collection.  The vintage feel of the pieces were refreshing, like going through the grandfathers closet looking for pieces to mix and match with you have on today.  All was loose, oversized, playful and at times pieced together.  Designer Francesco Risso kept it casual.  Clerk pants, jackets, suits, were showy but not over the too, and very wearable.  Would I buy it? YES!
