Masculine Eye Candy

Belgian designer Dirk Bikkembergs is always about the sexy man.  Spring 2018, staying true to form, the looks favored the man who embraces being looked at in all the right ways, masculine eye candy.   The black looks were my favorite.

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.

Images were shot using the Canon G7X.

A “GUCCITASTIC” Tour

Alessandro Michele showed 107 looks this season inspired by gender fluidity, cartoon characters, Joan Collins shoulders pads, and Elton John.  All of these elements made for an electric collection crossing many lines.

Black and Paper went to the Gucci Hub in Milan to get an up close and personal showing of the collection and pieces.  Beautiful jacquard fabrics with quilted linings that tell a story.

The connections to Elton John were up front and center, jackets s with musical symbols and “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” album cover sweat suits.

Signature Gucci Bags were made of strong leather but Python skins stood out.  Everyone will want one next year.

Sweaters were printed with Bugs Bunny and Snow White.  Coltish shorts matched with mid length feminine and masculine jackets were crafted for the athletic form.

Prominent in the collection were the sheer fabrics and terry cloth used for suits.  Lavish fur pelts details were intricate.  Each piece was an inch wide all sewn by hand.

The standouts of the season were the wrinkle and embroidery looks.  Gucci employed special techniques resulting in dazzling effects.  The dress (see below) is pure and simple opulence.

Black and Paper Associate Editor Leah Ahuja is based in Beverly Hills, California.  She was given a one on one presentation of the Gucci Collection during Milan Fashion Week.

Black and Paper Pick

Italian leather crafts wear brand Serapian has a new collection this fall inspired by the seventies.   I saw their pieces at Pitti Uomo in Florence.  For a man looking for a luxury bag with style and details but without the brand markings, I recommend these bags for their craftsmanship and versatility; the looks can be both formal and informal.  Of course all bags are Italian Made.

The 14 Capsule Collection is only available in 30 boutiques and Serapian Stores.
