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!

London Fashion Week Mens Dunhill
Dunhill, the epitome of British menswear, continued the brand’s tradition of classic tailoring. Refinement is the word I would use to describe a collection that stayed within all the boundaries. New Creative Director Mark Weston has inherited a brand a strong identity but there was a need to make it more modern. He did not add any new twists but instead veered to the safe side. I cannot blame him. Luxury is about small details that people in the know would recognize.
Casualwear, jackets and other outerwear were on display, some with cashmere and luxury fabrics. The leather goods were traditionally masculine, and modern. There was a patterned bag that was less about being flashy but trying to have a bit of a contemporary edge.
It is going to be interesting to see where Dunhill goes in the future.

London Fashion Week Men’s
London Fashion Week Men’s Black and Paper coverage of London Men’s Week.
The legendary city is celebrating its 5th Men’s week in 2017. The charm of British menswear is the level of risk designers take. Unlike rival fashion cities where classic themes are refreshed, London throws everything in the pot from shapes, colors, and textures for the fun of it with enthusiasm. The definition of fashion is “being different”, standing out from the crowd, a statement.
The Strand in the heart of the capital is the locale for the runway shows, presentations, and trade fare.
Stay tuned for more coverage.

Milan Fashion Week Men-Edhen
Italian based shoe designer Edhen takes sensual to the next level this collection. The sparkles of details mixed with the classic is what I loved. A man can express a lot without saying a word wearing these shoes.
