Milan Fashion Week Men
Part one of our coverage from January’s 2020 Milan Fashion Week Men. Alexander McQueen and other London Fashion brands were on hand for the week. Overall, I would say the week came across as calm, no major shifts this season on the menswear front. I would not say a lose of direction, but a …
Pitti Uomo
Subdued I enjoy going to Pitti Uomo in Florence in January. It’s working blended in with pleasure. The historical city is romantic, charming, and pleasing to the eye.
