Milan Men's Fashion Week Pt.II


So
i've finally finished compiling some of my favourite looks from the Milan men's fashion week! For those quick to judge, keep in mind that I chose these looks for a variety of reasons. When looking at the outfits that are sent down the runway, one cannot just judge based on face value. You have to be able to see a look and have the ability to disassemble it, appreciating each piece for the contribution that it makes to the overall presentation of that outfit, or the contribution that it could make in another. You have to be able to imagine certain pieces in different settings. Perhaps in a beautifully stylized advertising campaign, perhaps in a whimsical street shot. Fashion and style are never singular formulas. That boldly printed D&G blazer may be a bit much for some, but it would look absolutely stunning in a magazine spread. Or perhaps that hot pink double-breasted blazer by Cavalli? Paired with a crisp, white button-up, some casual navy trousers, with the sleeves rolled up, and you've got a luxuriously casual look! These looks have been chosen for a multitude of reasons and are appreciated for their versatility! I encourage you to think outside of the box when looking at these pieces and try to imagine ways that they work instead of ways that they don't!

Emporio Armani
I love these pants.  

Etro
This blazer would look so great paired with a pair of basic navy/beige/white trousers!
Salvatore Ferragamo
The COLOUR of this jacket! Just beautiful! So sophisticated, yet casual!
Ferragamo has always been consistent in bringing class and elegance to men's fashion, portraying a type of refinery that just leaves you in awe and feeling so content.

Giorgio Armani
Cool prints. Minimal chic
Gucci
A very solid and handsome collection! 
Jil Sander
Alexander McQueen
Often quite theatrical in their presentation, this collection shows a relaxed and leisurely aesthetic that is so very top-notch and luxurious. 
 Moncler
Nice trench.
Left unzipped and with a pair of dark raw denim? Yes! 
Moschino
Neil Barrett
I effing LOVE this! If a motorcycle jacket and a trench coat were to ever procreate, this would be its beautiful little offspring. 
This blazer proves you can be both subtle and loud at the same time :)
Undoubtedly my favourite collection from Milan Men's Fashion Week!
The fact that I have an affinity for leather probably didn't help :)
 Trussardi 1911
What a beautiful colour
John Varvatos
Love this.

Versace
If those are studs I see... You best get out my way.
Ermenegildo Zegna
 Z Zegna
The print on this double-breasted sweater/blazer is phenomenal! 
Cropped version of the double-breasted blazer? Sil vous plait!

Stay tuned for my coverage of Paris Men's Fashion Week!
