Daniele Alessandrini Spring 2012 | Milan Fashion Week
Moodscape–Daniele Alessandrini approaches the spring 2012 season with a clear mind focused on energizing contemporary menswear with the joyous use of color and sporadic prints. Color blocking and setting complementary tones to the same beat, a lineup of suiting separates, knits and trousers benefit from an upbeat spirit. Adorned with stripes, floral prints and stars, the collection exudes a boyish quality for a fun spring that also manages to be practical.
Moschino Spring 2012 | Milan Fashion Week
Greaser Milanese–While it is apparent the designers behind Moschino were inspired by the Elvis and Fonzie-type characters of the fifties, there were several ambiguous elements at play that gave the collection a modern appeal. Two jackets, one in baby blue suede and the other in black leather, mirrored the timeless jean jacket of the same era. On the other hand, the quintessential Moschino shirt fueled spring’s collection with playing card motifs. Another standout element was none other than the printed trouser, a trend that has been strong this season, seen here both casually and in sartorial splendor – which is where the garments really shine. Rounding out a charming show, suits were dressed in gold and adorned with flashing lights, making for a showstopper of looks destined for stars, no matter how large or small.

yesterday had been very intense behing the camera (being my 1st day i could just snap any of the models i saw) but today was more intense in the waiting, looking for new models, expecting with excitement the arrival of some of the most famous ones; indeed all the models go to the same castings and obviously you get to meet them every day, but the purpose of this story is mainly to show the diversity of models you find for the paris shows more than shooting the same guys over and over again …
i had to be patient and lucky to pin to my list of daily trophies the likes of sebastian sauve, adrien sahores, clément chabernaud, matthew hitt, matvey lykov, douglas neitzke, vladimir ivanov, max motta, lucas mascarini, theo hall, jaco van den hoven, daniel bamdad, christian plauche etc, as well as some more new faces such as pierre-harald, jackson, josh tackley, julien sznejderman or dennis jager just to name a few …
