Not Over the TOP!

Menswear looks do not have to be over the top in oder to stand out.  Sometimes it is better to mix and match pieces to get the effect. At times an entire expressive look can be a style train wreck.  Too much is happening in all directions.  With mens fashion a way of standing out is just use one piece.  I liked the Marni collection because there were parts of the collection that could stand stand alone.  The brands jacket or suit with the classic wardrobe piece such as a white shirt is enough.   A person does not have to over do it to be seen.

Milan Fashion Week Men with Tod’s

Black and Paper at Milan Fashion Week Men at the Tod’s presentation.

Tod’s decided lightweight for the season with looks based on traveling to hot climate destinations.  Quality wise there is no doubt the brand is at the top of its game in the quality department, elegant is in the DNA of the brand, but style wise it felt a bit muddled or at a crossroads.   The new sneakers for the urban wearer were understated but in an age where men express themselves with a certain sneaker style, Tod’s new Gommino trainer looked average.

Milan Fashion Week Milan with Edhen

Black and Paper attended the Edhen Presentation at Milan Fashion Week Men.

Sensual is how I would describe Edhen.  For those of you searching for the new “It” men’s shoe this brand could be the one.  The collections are the right balance of adventurous, being chic with the right touches of classic Italian detail with lush fabrics and leathers footwear.  This season there is an emphasis on the light and breezy shoes made of soft, very refined materials.  The Mules were fun but my favorite pair are the Brera’s in blue.

I have the impression these designers will go far, fast.
