Fendi Fall Winter 2015:Milan Menswear Fashion Week

A perfect blend of masculinity and elegance, the luxurious collection by Silvia Venturini for Fendi Fall 2015 menswear was stylishly classic yet ultra- modern. Everything was beautiful and super classy. The innovation was visible in the form of fabric manipulation. It was interesting to see Silvia’s expertise in playing around with fabric and materials – for example the way she used leather to create an impression of classic corduroy.Some of the fur and leather pieces were reversible – thus creating an idea of a completely different garment.

Gucci after Frida : Gucci Fall Winter 2015 Menswear:Milan Menswear Fashion Week

Five days, yes, that is the number of days that it took for Gucci to design and produce their Fall winter 2015 menswear runway show, a record in itself. Frida Giannini, the outgoing creative director, left the Florentin brand, a month earlier than expected, thus creating a big question mark over the menswear show. But hats off to the group effort of the design team, the brand was able to pull off the show beyond expectation. No wonder, at the end of the show, head accessories designer Alessandro Michele along with his team of designers took a collective bow.

Emporio Armani Fall Winter 2015 :Milan Menswear Fashion Week

The silhouettes were loose yet slim, stylish yet laid back, youthful yet classic. Unconsciously dapper, Emporio Armani’s Fall 2015 collection offered an array of options for winter ranging from cardigan jackets and slim and short pea coats to tailored pieces that featured uber-smart suits with single and double breasted jackets. It was interesting to see Mr. Armani playing with long zippers, some running diagonally over various pieces like trousers and knitwears.

Birth of a New Versace Man: Versace Fall Winter 2015: Milan Menswear Fashion Week

The new Versace man is “Subtle”, a word that we generally don’t relate to the brand. Unlike brand’s previous collections which were high on gladiator drama, loud colours, sometimes over the top Medusa prints and often sexy with its underwear flashing trousers, the latest offering by Donatella for the label’s Fall Winter 2015 revolved around the philosophy of classic restrain.

Milan Menswear Fashion Week: Dsquared² Fall 2015

Whatever the reason, brothers Dean and Dan Caten love their jeans; hence it is no surprise to see a collection that was high on denim. Jeans of all kinds, including a dirty one were paired with leather and fur jackets, sleeveless numbers, parkas, and embroidered and plaid shirt. In sharp contrast to all the denims in the collection, the duo also presented few smart Italian tailored tuxes, adorned with traditional embroidery. Going by the very philosophy of the brand, the collection was a mix of irreverent Canadian wit and refined Italian tailoring and aesthetics.
