Milan Men's Fashion Week

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!


Bally
 Bottega Veneta
 Burberry Prorsum
I love these coats! Chic and sophisticated, yet also quite unique!
Canali
 Roberto Cavalli
The vibrancy of all the colours here are just beautiful!
Costume National
Great casual and laissez-faire looks from Costume National! Especially the second look
Corneliani
Beautiful pieces from Corneliani! Simple, yet so very effective.
D&G
The vibrant world of D&G! The theatricality of their pieces would work so well in an advertising campaign, music video, fashion spread, or some other medium requiring an eye-catching element.
DSquared2
The Canadian duo fail to disappoint with their signature colourfully flamboyant and fun looks! 
Dirk Bikkembergs



Dolce & Gabbana
These bad-ass jackets may have much more aesthetic appeal than functional... But really, when has fashion really been about functionality?
