What are you wearing during the fashionweeks? Your Jil Sander-shoes, your latest Prada-shirt or that vintage Gucci? Maybe we’ll spot you in Paris, Milan, New York or Amsterdam. During the fashionweeks we refresh our streetwear posts regularly. We don’t judge, we’re not the fashion-police, we just enjoy fashion and your own personal style.
Gucci Menswear Catwalk Fashion Show Milan SS2013
Gucci’s creative director Frida Giannini used a rich and vivid Mediterranean color palette for her youthful tailoring and retro-style holiday clothes.
What to think of head-to-toe green, watermelon and cobalt ? It sounds screaming loud, but in real they were rendered in dry, crisp fabrics like raffia, washed cotton and cotton jersey. Giannini embraced monochromatic dressing with sharp, slim suits or sweater-pant combos in shades like rust or sky blue, but she also presented tailored blazers, often double-breasted, over slim white chinos. Every look was finished with the house’s iconic horse-bit loafers, celebrating their 60th birthday next year.
Calvin Klein Menswear Catwalk Fashion Show Milan SS2013
The most important parts of American sportswear gave designer Italo Zucchelli inspiration for his Calvin Klein collection. The T-shirts, jeans jackets, chinos and shorts, they all came with a technical or luxury spin. Expect a come back of stone washed jeans, boxy jackets, carrot-shaped pants and T-shirts in nylon mesh. The surfer florals were the only variation, on shorts, shirts and suits.
Prada Menswear Catwalk Fashion Show Milan SS2013
Prada took the audience back in time with her menswear-collection. She wanted return to something simple she told editors. Simpel it was, for instance no prints, no funny colors. There were seventies silhouettes and vintage-colors, but what stood out was the graphic play with colors blocking and contrast. The underlying feeling was sporty and athletic, like the tank tops and tennis sweaters plus the sports-slippers.
The shapes were straightforward: two-button suits with patch pockets and slightly flared pants, polo shirts with contrasting collars and plackets, short-sleeve leisure jackets and tubular coats. A band of contrasting color flashed inside the pant legs. Broad borders appeared on trim, lightweight coats.

Bottega Veneta Menswear Catwalk Fashion Show Milan SS2013
Tomas Maier took Seventies California as his source of inspiration. The result: loose, pullover tunic tops in buttery brown, gray, and pale olive. Some had lace-up details at the neck or hippie fringes at the bottom. It all had a relaxed and luxurious feeling. The crumpled suits and lightweight coats looked great, especially in those dusty colors like red, cement, teal and taupe.
More structured and slim–fitting suits looked as if they were stained with spilt coffee or tea at first glance, but it was actually a faded flowerprint. Those flowerprints came also back as an all over pattern.
Dolce & Gabbana Menswear Catwalk Fashion Show Milan SS2013
Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana continued their hymn to Italy. This time they time-traveled to Sicily for a nostalgic Fifties spring collection. Around 70 boys and men where gathered from all over the island and they resembled characters from an old movie as they sped down the runway to a frenetic pace set by a live folk band.
The message was authenticity and the show focused on vintage clothes. Vacation-friendly sportswear, striped vests and T-shirts with a rustic hand-painted look, souvenir prints, high-waist shorts.
Shirts with flat, open collars and unconstructed suits with voluminous pleated pants came straight from a Sicilian grandfather’s wardrobe.

Jil Sander Menswear Catwalk Fashion Show Milan ss2013
The most anticipated show this menswear-season: the come-back show of designer Jil Sander for her own label. Looking at the collection it seemed Sander said goodbye to the experimental designs of Raf Simons and went back to purism. The collection was crisp, graphic and youthful. Jil Sander opened her show with a sleeveless navy coat over a white, short-sleeved nerd shirt and shorts, setting her main agenda: playing on proportion, and a mix of formal and sporty.
Sander gave her pristine silhouettes a generous mix of classic and vivid colors, from long-line tan suits spliced with white panels, to boxy garage jackets in an Yves Klein blue. There were prints, too: polka dots and Mondrian-esque stripes.
