Milan Fashion Week has just finished, and here's what I can surmise:
 |
| John Richmond |
The John Richmond S/S collection was a showstopper for daring men. His fresh prints and colours were effortlessly entwined with sleek blacks and greys, most notably pioneering the dress short.
Italy revealed a chink in it's fashion armour,
apparently concerned that 'cooler kids', London, New York and Paris are
surpassing them in the menswear stakes. An emergency breakfast summit
was held by the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana to "announce a new
unilateral policy dedicated to keeping them atop the league table of
oomph."
 |
| Salvatore Ferragamo |
The Salvatore Ferragamo collection displayed large shapes, embracing baggy, but tailored looks with a Roman-inspired casual feel.

| Versace |

| Umit Benan |
Versace let Kinesio tape do the talking. (I'm quite mad for this, but also fairly adament it wouldn't be sexy off-runway.) Turkish designer Umit Benan put on a masquerade to showcase his old-world-casual glamour, and Vivienne Westwood channeled east-Europe also, "borrowing from Persia and Morocco contributed to a colorful undertaking
of menswear, painting with great character oversize tunics, graphic
shirts, relaxed jackets and more."

| Vivienne Westwood |
Accessories featured prominently - the best 40 can be seen in this photo essay by the New York Times.
Little mention was made of the sentencing of designers
Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana for tax evasion. The D&G
collection comprised three-piece suits, temple and country prints,
Bermuda shorts, and also an impromptu nude piece by a mystery streaker.
