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.

An Insider’s view of the Fashion Week scene and looks.

Edgy London based street wear brand Blood Brother presented its collection at LFWM on June 10th. Designer Nicolas Biela bends casual wear conventions with colors, materials and shapes but makes it all wearable. The most noticeable look was a black long coat. Judging by the enthusiasm of the youthful crowd at the presentation I would say you can count on seeing a few of his pieces in clubs next year.

Savile Row bespoke tailor Richard James presented The Atlantic collection during London Fashion Week Men’s. Soft colors, along with vertical lines inspired by the 1950’s are how the press release summed up the looks. I only saw 3 of the 20 looks during the presentation, including a pink double breasted suit which I felt was a bit underwhelming.

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!
