Round up Milan Menswear Trends SS2015

The menswear shows of Milan Fashion Week have come to and end. So while the fashion crowd moves on to Pareee we’re taking a quick look at some of the Milan menswear trends. Which – apart from the regular slim suit, the stripes and the checks – was about sensuality (so many torsos at sight at Armani Dsquared, Fendi and Versace) and things less sexy (Teva slippers combined with suits, as seen at Fendi, Prada and Armani). In between: some great denim variations (paint splashed, with leather details, destroyed, bleached), nude and sand colored looks (Calvin Klein, Jil Sander) and a wide selection of new & improved sweatshirts at Bottega, Calvin Klein and Antonio Marras (we just can’t seem to get enough).

Michael Kors Catwalk Fashion Show New York Womenswear SS2014

His latest collections might not all have been hits, but for s/s2014 Michael Kors is back on track. The American designers sent out a perfect collection of wearable designs for a walk in the park on the first day of spring as well as for those mid summer hot NYC rooftop parties. He described the designs as “romantic but tailored”, which translated into soft, fluid tailoring with a focus on the waist. Forties and seventies were brought together in light printed flare dresses, high waisted shorts with neat shirts tucked into them and pencil skirts worn with python printed (leather) tops. Most girls looked office proof, yet thanks to the floral printed skirts (and matching bikini tops) they could be beach ready within minutes too. High slits and viagra on line canada low V-lines took the collection into evening wear, where sheer fabrics and small cut-outs made Kors’ women appear even more seductive. Leaf prints and a natural color palette ranging from white to green, and beige to navy were simple but perfect. Nothing too shocking or extremely progressive here, just beautiful clothes for the American (minded) woman.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Catwalk Fashion Show New York Womenswear SS2014

At the Marc by Marc Jacobs show boys and girls dressed alike in a variation of suits took us back to the eighties. Almost everything got a shiny touch, varying from metallic pieces (like a silver coat and a blue sequined jumpsuit) to shimmering silk designs (like a high waisted graphical red and white ensemble or a light blue silky suit) and sportive satin shorts and jackets. Flamelike figures and studded stars buy cheap viagra now even had a bit of a circus feeling to them, yet overall the vibe was sporty and relaxed. We’re curious to see just how flattering some of the fabrics will look on “real women”, but Marc will surely have some less extreme, afforable pieces ready for his large fanbase.

Y-3 by Yamamoto Catwalk Fashion Show New York Womenswear SS2014

Is it already 10 years? Yohji Yamamoto celebrated 10 years of his Adidas partnership yesterday saying that this would best prices on viagra be a new start with more excitement. First thing was his collaboration with graphic artist Peter Saville. For Y-3, Saville created a rainbow graphic in multiple colorways that was printed on micro-mesh T-shirt dresses and the sleeves of an elongated blazer. Elsewhere, there were sporty styles in classic black with the signature Adidas triple stripe strategically placed.
Other than the Saville looks, the men’s collection looked like more defined streetwear with updated proportions and layering, i.e., elongated polos over extra-long T-shirts over fitted sweatpants.

Saint Laurent Catwalk Fashion Show Paris Menswear SS2013

Hedi Slimane’s second menswear-collection for Saint Laurent was an ode to an imaginary band of beanpole Teddy Boys. Hair slicked back into ducktails, tight pants hitched to the navel.

Lots of people might criticize the collection, but there was some good design: an army green cotton parka cut like a tailcoat, a patchwork leather jacket in a racing-flag pattern, minimalist waistcoats that were little more than vest points on a harness. There was also a variety of youthful jackets, a play on formal-wear and the Fifties varsity jackets in gleaming satin with crystal embroideries on the back. But you’ll have to be a skinny boy to wear it. And young, and rich. But we’ll find plent details and rip offs of this collection back in the stores next year.

Kenzo Catwalk Fashion Show Paris Menswear SS2014

The designers of Kenzo celebrated beach culture with loose cuts and hand-drawn prints including wave motifs and graffiti-style lettering. Models descended into the ring of the wooden venue from alcoves set high in the rafters, as Mike D of the Beastie Boys spun a soundtrack.

Anoraks and shirts with a contrasting stripe running across the chest or sleeve recalled the graphic simplicity of surf wear, while a boxy white sweatshirt with raw edges — the brand’s ubiquitous embroidered tiger head now replaced by a rolling wave — was slit at the sides for extra ease.

Roomy pants were either cropped above the ankle, or slit to pool over shoes.

Givenchy Catwalk Fashion Show Paris Menswear SS2014

For the Givenchy Spring/Summer 2014 collection, Riccardo Tisci took the audience upon a journey from America to Africa. From L.A. skaters, nerds obsessed with vintage 1970s computers, electronics’ loudspeakers to African ethnography, the show was about mixing colors, shapes, designs and prints. Colorful silhouettes exude a sporty elegance and a freedom of layering with contrasting elements.

Bright and light computerized motifs gave a dynamic and graphic take to prints. They were merged with an influence of Masaï and Zulu bold iconography, layered together with the energy of sportswear.
Oversized shirts, polos, parkas, pleated bermudas and leggings alternate with fitted tailoring. Classic cotton fabrics such as poplin, jersey, gabardine and piqué contrast with thick nylon, silk organza or georgette, printed leather, satin and nylon knitted mesh. Neo-tuxedo pants in plain or printed cotton poplin are layered with silk georgette demonstrating masterful construction.
