Milan Fashion Week Men is about masculine sensuality with an Italian twist of being noticed by wearing a piece of clothing with a splash of color or a specific fitted cut or a rich fabric.
Black and Paper covered many events.

Pitti Umo
Tommy Hilfiger is going for a game changing strategy by integrating brick & mortar with a new digital presence that challenges the present framework of the fashion week by shrinking order times of design to store shelves, a digital interaction touchscreen allowing clients to order any item and have it delivered within 24 hours. Fans of Tommy Hilfiger could see the pop up screen anywhere.
Unique, Fabulous, Bold, and High styled are the words I use for the Kanpekino shoes from Japan. Made of cow and seal leather the designer has a unique vision of shoe wear. While walking around Pitti Uomo the animal print styles on the display table caught my eye. Each shoe is hand produced in a factory near Tokyo.
Italian Brand Il Cappottino from Senigallia are for the person who wants a personal style in the outerwear style. Expressive coats made of wool and cashmere with colors.

Day 1. Pitti Uomo from Florence

WOW! I am covering my first Pitti in Milan. It lives up to its reputation as a place to go menswear fashion on a global level. On dDAy one we met designers, stylists, PR, and of course the famous Peacocks strolling around the trade fair in with all their colors.
Then of course, what is a tradeshow without the after work events, we were not disappointed. The first show was a tribute to Ciro Paone, Mr. Kiton, the luxury suit maker, The journey of the man behind the label was in 6 parts from starting with the Family to the Quality.
The setting for Kiton event was spectacular, Palazzo Gerini, A Florence Palace in the center of the city.
NEXT, We jumped in a shuttle and went to the next event for Golden Goose Sneakers. The setting had the “WOW” effect, in an abandon train station with a skateboarding venue set in the center. Slowly the lights went down, then, BOOM, Flashing Lights, Skateboarders in Gold Jackets. I am not familiar with the Golden Gooose brand but this event peaked my curiosity to learn more. We will report more in the future.
Stay tuned for more features from Florence.

A tell-tale characteristic of a stylish man, whether in formal or casual clothing, is the state of his clothing defined by subtle details.
A shirt should be crisp, never sloppy.
Stylishly, comfortable, and low key without a wrinkle.
