Milan Men's Shows Round Up

The Milan Men's show started out dark and dismal.  I was very uninspired and left wondering what was left to come.  So here is what I thought of Milan.

Alexander McQueen: My FAVORITE show from Milan.  Absolutely stunning.  A beautiful collection full of truly marketable clothing and wonderfully outrageous pieces that will make for great editorial.

-Bottega Veneta: Beautifully well tailored collection.  I loved the knits and the different combinations they did with knit and leather.

-Dolce and Gabbana: A very traditional Dolce show.  Patent leather, bold colors, men in tank tops and shorts in what is supposed to be a Fall/Winter collection.  The most interesting items in the show were the blazers that were weaved like baskets.

-Dsquared2:  Same old same old. A collection that looks like the designers went to their archives, but for a fairly young company its a little too soon to be pulling from their past. Not a bad collection, just nothing new, innovative, or exciting.
