Frantic.Hectic. Nerves on the edge. As always the backstage level of intensity at a fashion week is like watching a high octane reality show. The different teams, make-up, hair, models, and dressers all trying to meet a tight 2 hour deadline. All has be ready by 4 pm.

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.

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.

Kalid bin Sultan Al Qasimi’s label Qasimi presented a collection based on simpler times blended with elements of modern military and Bedouin tribes. Using various fabrics including linens, seersuckers, nylon to shape looks that were both tapered and wide the designer also through in jacquard and other yarns.
Subtle, using soft colors, the looks were natural while masculine.

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.
