| THE MEN OF MILAN
SHOW OFF IN THE NAME OF FUN AND FASHION
The Girly-Man will rear his head in Milan - that
is if designers have it their way this fall. Gianfranco
Ferré showed oxford shoes in green, orange
or two-tone leather. There were voile shirts,
flower-embroidered business clothes, appliqué
trims, vinyl raincoats and cinched trench coats,
man-sandals and man-purses, suede hot pants and
fringed hippie boots from Gucci.
Missoni went for his inner golfer in pastels,
and other designers showed clam-diggers, Capri
pants and short shorts. Alexander McQueen’s
suits were in lightweight glen plaid with checkered
piped lapels.
Prada’s short shorts looked like those
worn by African hunters in bright colors. They
were worn under vinyl jackets with Velcro and
were worn with open-toed vinyl sandals with heavy
socks.
If men follow these pied pipers of fashion, it
will be an interesting year. Color is king here
for fall.
