CANALI SS11 MENSWEAR COLLECTION MILAN

A theatrical vignette awaited editors at Canali yesterday, an homage to Fellini. Models descended onto the catwalk to the soundtrack of La Dolce Vita and Nino Rota, 1960s Milano the inspiration behind the collection models stood in silhouette in the arched windows of Rome’s Via Veneto.
Finely tailored suits with a natural Canali elegance, contemporary style that is enriched by antique traditions and modern tailoring.

Natural fabrics and slim lines ran through the collection in the form of soft jackets with natural shoulders in classic summer hues beige, taupe, underbrush green with bright mustard highlights. Grey and blue are alternated with black to create softer but impeccably cut and finely constructed suits. All topped off with a suitably chic Borsalino panama and Persol sunglasses.

We can’t wait until they’re available in the new flagship Canali store in London!

PRINGLE OF SCOTLAND SS11 MENSWEAR COLLECTION MILAN

PRINGLE OF SCOTLAND SS11 MENSWEAR COLLECTION MILAN - JUNE 21

The SS11 menswear collection returns with a unique showcase at galleria CARLA sozzani and marks another important step in reaffirming Pringle of Scotland’s’ position as a global luxury brand. The main concept of the collection takes the simple theme of creating a comp lete look made from only one fabrication to form a strong statement – an interpretation across product categories.

Clare Waight Keller comments “This season was really about looking into the classic fabrications of a man’s wardrobe and giving them a new context. The idea of total look but in an informal way was something that I explored in depth, and has resulted in fabrics being used across every element. A shirt is worn under a sweater made of the shirting worn under a trench made of a waxed shirting, the translation of the fabric making the familiar completely fresh and surprising.”

The colour palette, inspired by both Derek Jarman’s film ‘Blue’ and the classic men’s ‘denim’ is the prominent colour story. Complimentary neutral palette of stones, melange greys and whites complete the story.

Throughout, denim is reinterpreted and referenced in its various forms and guises. Waxing on outerwear is another key story - Traditional fabrications, not usually associated with outerwear, are taken and waxed to create super light rainproof outerwear pieces.

New knitted techniques are incorporated into the collection with an intarsia argyle in melange silk and represented in tonal faded blues. The ladder mesh seen in the womenswear AW 10 collection is developed albeit with a masculine interpretation. The iconic twinset is reinforced and is echoed with the concept of underpinning matched with a knitted over piece in the same fabric.

ETRO MILAN MENSWEAR SS11 SHOW

Kean Etro’s tree of life is the date palm that gave the inspiration for paisley designs, the very DNA on which the Etro brand is built.

Spring Summer 11 is no exception, strong in terms of design, colour and structure the actual pieces are extremely lightweight. Kean’s wardrobe is composed of ‘leaves, clouds and light’. Almost weightless jackets, georgette shirts with delicate paisley print in the palest pastels.

Ultra light organic cotton polos, elegant shantung silk jackets with tone on tone bark print. Accessories include oversized totes in the softest hides, contrast sneakers and cut off ties. If a paisley ensemble is too much to start with there is a luxurious aray of printed, jacquard and embroidered scvarves and handkerchiefs in a flux of paisley, flowers and fruits to plant the seed….........

This summer menswear collection will be available from Etro, 14 Old Bond Street, Mayfair, London W1S 4PS; 020 7495 5767

SALVATORE FERRAGAMO MILAN MENSWEAR SPRING/ SUMMER 2011

SALVATORE FERRAGAMO MILAN MENSWEAR SPRING/ SUMMER 2011 SHOW

On a not so sunny lunchtime in Milan, the Salvatore Ferragamo mens s/s2011 show took us to the French Riviera and reminded us of a warm afternoon in an avant garde film.

Influences of Cocteau and Picasso and a holiday feeling of free spirit were seen as the models strode down the mirrored catwalk with projections of a blue cloudy sky hitting the ceiling and floor!! A palette of white and cream contrasted with navy blue stripes and elegant stripes. Silks and luxurious rich fabrics appeared on wide pyjama trousers and fitted blazers.

PARIS FASHION WEEK, AKRIS AW10 RUNWAY SHOW

Paris Fashion Week, Akris AW10 Ready to Wear Show:

Photo and Article credit Style.com:

From Nicole Phelps Article on Style.com. Picking up where his smart pre-collection left off, Albert Kriemler’s Fall lineup was focused on languid, seventies-ish tailoring and outerwear with a sportif sensibility. The lean, spare silhouette of his suits—elongated jacket, high-waisted flared trousers—provided an opportunity to showcase the fine fabrics that Akris’ St. Gallen mills specialize in: Prince of Wales checks, houndstooths, tweeds, and plaids, all in the supplest cashmere. And it doesn’t get any more luxe than Kriemler’s long-sleeved blouse in a taupey-gray sheared astrakhan. As subtle as that fur and those menswear cashmeres were, his leathers were vibrant: a trim, to-the-body sleeveless dress in cassis, a fitted double-breasted coat in plum. As for the sportier fare, you’re never going to see a straight-up down parka here. Kriemler’s came in camel hair with drawstrings on the sleeves and across the torso and back to adjust the fit.
