Black and Paper Pick for Fall 17
Giuseppe Zanotti’s Fall Men’s shoes are based on his interpretation of dandyism, Footwear designs that are formal, athletic, and night life. I saw rich subtle with touches of bling in Milan, loafers, sneakers, slip-ons were the core items of the collection. Essentially it’s just shoes for men who want look sharp. Silks, suedes, velvets, were mixed in the form of hi-tops, moccasins, and low-outs. Zanotti does not push the envelope instead he makes a turn with his imprints of tassels and embroidery.

Milan Fashion Week Men at Etro
A groove from the past. Etro looks were funkadelic. This is what you would wear on a chic Volkswagen Camper ride. Street wear looks went from jackets to loose tailored suits.

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.

We only briefly saw the Fauto Puglisi Spring Collection. Based on the nightlife of Miami where anything goes, the looks are loose, the colors and prints are conspicuous. Consisting of t-shirts, shorts, and jerseys the garments are overtly masculine in a low brow manly, manly, man Jersey way.
We could not resist taking pictures of other items from his collection at the Gio Moretti store in Milan.

Milan Fashion Week Menswear-Canali
Black and Paper review from Milan Fashion Week Men of the Canali Spring Collection.
Soft, sleek, and clean are the words that come to mind. Introducing a new fabric “Impeccabile 2.0” a material is light combined with a level of weather versatility. The silhouettes were vertical produced with fine tailored details. A collection that was based on luxurious elements with minimal qualities, the Canali team lacks a creative director but this did not stop the brand from creating wonderful garments, the collection was both casual and semi-formal. I especially liked the suits because of the youthful yet sophisticated qualities.

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.

Marni from Milan Fashion Week Men’s
Black and Paper paid a visit to the Marni Showroom during Milan Fashion for re-see. The brand received acclaim for this season’s collection titled “Lost and Found”, a journey of self-discovery is how the press release describes the collection. The vintage feel of the pieces were refreshing, like going through the grandfathers closet looking for pieces to mix and match with you have on today. All was loose, oversized, playful and at times pieced together. Designer Francesco Risso kept it casual. Clerk pants, jackets, suits, were showy but not over the too, and very wearable. Would I buy it? YES!
