Milano Moda Uomo: Ermenegildo Zegna, C.P. Company, Costume National, Dolce & Gabbana, Jil Sander, Missoni, Armani
Suede blouses and trousers had a relaxed silhouette; soft cardigans gently opened on jersey shirts; linen suits had a streamlined silhouette while cotton canvas trench coats were characterised by round shoulders. Fans of the art and fashion connection rejoiced at Jil Sander's show where Raf Simons filtered the classic lines of menswear through the art of Japanese artist Tsuguharu Foujita. The nomadic atmospheres explored by Ermenegildo Zegna came back at Missoni’s. The menswear collection perfectly counterbalanced the womenswear collection presented in February, though in this case we were spared the excessive layering style that in the womenswear case hid some of the most beautiful pieces.

Paris Menswear: Rick Owens, Comme de Garçons Homme Plus, Givenchy, Raf Simons, John Galliano
My Italian self would like to praise Riccardo Tisci’s collection, but my objective self is restraining me from doing so. Tisci’s second menswear collection for Givenchy doesn’t seem to be too different from what he did previously and I honestly doubt that everyday mature men would really like to go around in shorts (though perfectly tailored), leggings (though in luxurious materials) and bandage shoes (though architecturally interesting). Member of the Boxxet Network of Blogs, Videos and Photos The hieratical atmosphere that haunted Rick Owens’ Spring/Summer 09 New York catwalks seemed to pervade also his menswear collection. Some of the models wore his signature veil-like headgear and black - in different shades, shapes...

Brave and bold new world: KTZ
Take the Autumn/Winter 2008-09 “The World to Come” collection with its sculpted knits, jersey separates and sophisticated yet practical sequinned dresses or the Spring/Summer 2009 collection with its adventurous robotic and erotic designs, with shiny and glossy fabrics in vivid nuances and appliquéd gems that form surreal faces and geometrical patterns on mini-dresses, sweats, leggings and hoodies. Just by looking at this collection - a mix of ready-to-wear, urban wear and modern art - it becomes easy to understand why the brand has become in just a few years extremely successfully and well-known not only in Europe but also in the rest of the world.
