New York Times does men in Milan

July 2nd 2007 10:21
As usual the New York Times summary of fashion week (this time men in Milan) is impeccable for those time poor and hungry for a fashion injection. So, to borrow their images and a bit of their sentiment here's my favourites of their favourites. (So derivative Alice... I know but didn't I just say I'm time poor?)

Salvatore Ferragamo Menswear Milan

So to Salvatore Ferragamo whose QVB shop causes salivation during my flaneusing about the city. And indeed, were I encounter a gentleman while fairing la promenade a pied qui porte cette vestments (yes, he did just make me slip into French) I imagine I might salivate also. And how it happens I do not know but the silver hat just works for me.

Prada Menswear Milan

Skinny indie boys in pink and red? How sweet. Yes, Prada did it and didn’t they do it well. On an entirely separate topic, I love looking at the shoes of the people in the front row at this sort of intimate showing. Whatever you call those black and white men’s shoes (wingtips?) they’re my favourite.


Valentino Menswear Milan
From nytimes.com


Valentino reinvents the Bond dinner jacket, equipped with exotic dancer in the background but updates the look with a closely shaved head, and something red in his glass.

Bottega Veneta Menswear Milan
From nytimes.com


And to round out the entry, speaking literally, they must really have used a bowl to get a haircut, it’s a semi-sphere if ever I’ve seen one. From my previous post about Bottega Veneta, it’s obvious I love them, just look at the skill it takes to make a skinny boy look like he has hips. And the pastel man-bag completes it perfectly, I would take this one shopping with me for brutally honest appraisals.
