From Milan

Milan Fashion Week Men happened under the Omicron wave sweeping across Europe. Designers in the Italian city showed looks saying ” The Future is Now.” The collections were designed for going out in the world, expressive, showing off.

Based on what I saw, it would be hard to believe Italy was experiencing a forth wave. From the strange to the colorful to the classic, all the collections showed a mood of overcoming the present crisis. Welcome back to La Dolce Vita!

Stay Tuned for the Before Tacky Podcast review of Milan Fashion Week Men.

In Memory of Virgil

I happened to go over my Twitter account last night, suddenly, to my shock, on the Louis Vuitton account there was an announcement of Virgil Abloh‘s passing. My first thought was Covid. After reading the announcement Virgil lost his battle to cancer at age 41.

As the first African American head of a major fashion label, Virgil inspired me and no doubt countless others. He shattered a glass ceiling. Founding the fashion label Off-White in 2012, the Rockford Illinois born designer made a name for himself by establishing a must have streetwear brand worn by celebrities such as Kayne West and Jay Z. In 2018, being appointed the head of Louis Vuitton menswear placed Abloh at the pinnacle of the fashion world.

Thank you for opening doors Mr Abloh.
