Fashion Week Milan Men 2016

Menswear looks from Milan based fashion brands were on display throughout the city from Fashion Shows to Presentations in stunning settings. Being a Fashion Capital, Milan offers a myriad of designers producing clothing, shoes, bags, and other accessories for the well-dressed man of the season who desires relaxed tailoring. Menswear fashion taste is consistent; a definition of male elegant sex appeal and seduction combined with soft fabrics, some collections were muted while others were a mix of hues and patterns. A luxury accessory here and there can do wonders for a look, Milan lived up to its reputation for leather goods with shoes and bag in all shapes, colors, and sizes.

I was proactive in Milan from the time I landed to the time I left, racing around the city with a smartphone app (installed on my second day) or asking police and super friendly metro station workers for directions was a fun way to get around the city from one location to the next for an interview or conferences held by Camera Nazinale della Moda Italiana. Public transport in Milan is excellent, from the romantic vintage trams to the modern underground system. Walking around can took a bit of skill because of the city’s triangle planned streets, north and south seemed one but I managed.

Eat your heart out Downton Abbey! The surroundings of the presentations were impressive, and in some cases, stunning. Medieval palaces, 19^th century villas in the heart of the city, fashion storytelling with an arc of fineness. Yes, I was awe inspired looking over a shoe collection with a 400 year old tapestry in the background. Moving forward to the modern locales, which were equally impressive included: garages, roof top cafes, and a shop with an 8 meter mannequin, there was not a single dull place to view next Spring’s looks.

London Collections Men

Hardy Amies Dandy with a twist of the 60’s

The city on the Thames made strides with collections that showcase its fast lane style moving from gender free looks to oversized shapes. What makes London Fashion so electric is the quirkiness of its designers with their ability to throw any and everything at the wall. There is a refusal to allow one type of aesthetic to command the scene but rather it borrows or absorbs to in order to define its own sense of the masculine form.

The city famed for Savile Row is aggressively trying to establish itself as a hub for men’s fashion with a touch of the English Quirky charm of fabrics, patterns, and shapes.

Highlights for us:

Sibling’s Boxing Gloves looks that were sexy as well as hyper masculine

Hardy Amies stayed classic but in an appealing way with looks that will survive over time.

Matthew Miller decided to go in the cerebral direction with high wait belts and mono colors

Coach went with the urban cool looks, clean lines stripes, and outerwear.

Man had looks inspired the Black is Beautiful period of the 70’s. A hit!

Oliver Spencer’s flair for mixing colors and patterns without going over the top was refreshing.

Tautz I liked it but did not love it. The oversize coats and brilliant materials stood out.

Alexander McQueen Butterflies and more butterflies on tailored looks from suits to coats.

Burberry Once again the brand played to its British roots with outerwear some based on military looks with red jackets.

Kilgour Constructed clean lines and angled looks give this brand an edge.

Katie Eary Relaxed patterned pajama silk and almost famous looks.

Richard James Outerwear and over sized sweaters were key to a very functional masculine collection.
