THE MILAN MENSWEAR SHOW HERALDS
COLOR AND FASHION OVER NEUTRAL MEDIOCRITY

at Milan Men's Fashion Week |
If you long for the day when men will rush out
to buy new clothes each season (like women) you
may be in luck. The men’s fashion designers
in Milan are banking on a fashion recovery to
showcase bright colors, fancy headwear and a belief
that men can change their wardrobe to fit their
mood swings.
Neil Doveton, Fashion Director of Men’s
Health and Best Life magazine, was
in Milan and shared his Milan experience with
the press.
This is what he said: “You have to carry
a bag - or don't bother hoping to be noticed.
Leather carry-alls in every possible size, shape
and finish - leather, patent leather, nylon, as
long as it’s big and obvious.
Hats too are another way to finish your
look in style, everything from straw hats to caps,
poor-boys and trilby's.
The trend is a mixture of glamour and sport.
The tuxedo is strong in many variations from sophisticated
and traditional to worn casually over a Henley
T-shirt. Colors are everywhere and anything that
shimmers or shines. every possible metallic, gold
being supreme and contrasted against either an
icy palette of summer whites, sandy desert hues
or the deepest ebonies and charcoals.”
“I say only ‘keep it up, go for the
glimmer and shine and most importantly - just
love what you do, don't take it too seriously
- fashion should be enjoyed and never a burden."
Well put.
