Milan Men's Fashion Week, Day 2

With Milan Men's Fashion Week in full swing, the trends are emerging and fashion enthusiasts are getting ever more lusty over the new collections. The second day featured shows from Salvatore Ferragamo, Trussardi, Bottega Veneta, Bally, Iceberg, Vivienne Westwood, Ports 1961, Daks, Moncler Gamme Bleu and Caruso.

My favourite collections from Day 2 include Calvin Klein, Missoni and Prada.

Calvin Klein Autumn/Winter 2013

Calvin Klein's Autumn/Winter collection had an abundance of ribbed and quilted jackets and sweaters, but with a more contemporary and futurist aesthetic. Sports luxe elements have carried through from last year, with reptilian leather trainers completing the mostly monochromatic outfits. The trend of ox blood, chocolate brown and deep navy blue has translated into this collection, and in its different shades creates a collection with depth purely through varying colours and simplified ribbed embellishments.

Missoni Autumn/Winter 2013

It was gradients galore at the Missoni Autumn/Winter 2013, the colour palette drawing inspiration from autumn leaves and bringing life to the colours through classic and comfortable fashion design. Accessories such as rugged leather briefcases and totes and are the stand out pieces amongst the myriad of casual chic looks. Missoni has proven their ability to draw on their heritage and design a collection for the modern yet nostalgic man.

Prada Autumn/Winter 2013

A show set full of 60s-70s retro and Bauhaus furniture, the wooden stairs elevates the models to enhance the richness of Prada's latest collection. Though simple in look and detail, the colour choice of the garments complements the retrospective design aesthetic. Prada has managed to modernize 60s and 70s men's fashion to convey the message that fashion is both ephemeral and timeless.

Milan Men's Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2013 - Day 2

Day 2 of Milan Mens Fashion Week featured shows from Prada (invited to live stream), Belstaff, Daks, Ermanno Scervino (invited to live stream), Salvatore Ferragamo (invited to live stream), Moncler Gamme Bleu, Roccobarocco, Vivienne Westwood and Roberto Cavalli. 

My favourite collections from the day were Trussardi, Calvin Klein and Bottega Veneta.

Bottega Veneta SS13

The monochromatic look seems to be becoming the must have look for this coming Spring/Summer season, with Bottega Veneta's whole collection, along with a cool and relaxed vibe to every look. Loose fitting pants, comfortable sneakers, light materials and subtle movement is what Bottega Veneta's collection is all about, and what Spring/Summer should always be about - rest and relaxation.

Calvin Klein SS13

My invitation to the live stream

Calvin Klein's signature minimal style is at full force once again, and I have no doubt that the pioneer of monochromatic has had an influence on the abundance of the trend in designers' Spring/Summer collections. A nude, chocolate brown and navy colour palette run throughout the collection, with details mainly on the material that was used in the construction of the garment. There were a slight pop up of floral prints - they weren't bright and colourful, but rather more reserved and withholding. I was honoured to have been one of the first people in the world to see the collection.

Trussardi SS13

My invitation to the show's live stream

The Trussardi show was the highlight for Day 2 of Milan Men's Fashion Week - the collection set in a classic Italian villa, enhancing the atmosphere of class and sophistication. The monochromatic trend has set in once again, but this time the colour palette is set in regal, gentlemen's clothing, rather than modern minimalist. There's nothing short of timeless in this show and collection.
