Etro Fall 2011 | Milan Fashion Week
Etro’s signature prints collide with fur outerwear for the house’s new fall collection. Taking from the earth and surprisingly enough, becoming quite the material boy, Etro’s man gets the luxe treatment with print adornments and animal motifs making the final cut on everything from coats to shoes. Just in case shearling and fur do not fill the quota for statement pieces, Etro rounds out a range of day to evening wear with rich velvet and gold.
John Richmond Fall 2011 | Milan Fashion Week
Fragments of the 70’s have once again come alive on the runway, and the latest member to the club this season is none other than John Richmond. As luxe as usual, but relatively reserved for the label, fall’s collection mixes fur, glitz and sheen for a rich new outing. Besides an attempt at casual wear with tees boasting the likes of Marilyn Manson, the label excels with its fitted suiting, semi-enlarged lapels and smooth silhouettes that appear to have a life of their own.
Moncler Gamme Bleu Fall 2011 | Milan Fashion Week
On the hunt, Moncler Gamme Bleu brought its usual athleticism to the table with a generous serving of plaid and the season’s hottest new commodity – a basset hound. When not playing it safe with hues of black and brown, the collection felt extremely festive with red as well as green. Composing this season’s uniforms, shorts, boots and quilted apparel made quite the statement while proportions played to a practical sense for a change.
Bottega Veneta Fall 2011 | Milan Fashion Week
Opening up the second day of Milan Fashion Week, Bottega Veneta continued a colorful trend for the upcoming season. Piecing fall’s collection together with an industrial concept that saw the mixing of fabrics to complete several of menswear best standbys, the label maintained a certain playfulness with a hint of technicolor. Grounded by structured suiting and showing an untamed side with leather crumpled trousers and jackets, the latest outing from Bottega Veneta answered the call of the changing consumer. From the dark trenches of black to the vibrancy of orange resina, Bottega Veneta creative director Tomas Maier crafted the ideal blending of ready to wear fashions and challenging fragments of the modern man.
Roberto Cavalli Fall 2011 | Milan Fashion Week
No stranger to exorbitant details, Roberto Cavalli finds the soul of his latest collection in a rich new outing that boasts a hint of the glamorous 70’s. Finding room for the three-piece suit, while accessorizing with neckties and tribal accents, Cavalli brings in his over the top finesse with dynamic outerwear. From shearling and fur to the occasional knit, fall’s collection takes from the past and charges into the immediate future with a charming nostalgia and style that easily conforms to the signature allure of the Cavalli man.
Corneliani Fall 2011 | Milan Fashion Week
Glossing over fall and heading into a cold winter, Corneliani ensured that their man was bundled in layers to combat the cold. Embracing elements, ranging from a sartorial calling and relaxed military motif to a slope-ready turn in fashion, the label braced itself with a color palette derived from nature. Shifting from dark to light, the collection experienced a strong showing with double breasted blazers, robe-cut outerwear and endearing knits that managed to find a certain cohesiveness felt in domineering fashions.
