Highlights from Milan SS 2011 Fashion Week!

Well as most of you heard, Milan's Fashion Week happened earlier this week, and many many fashion houses and designers showcased their collections for everyone to gander at and drool over (I with no exception). There were double breasted jackets, along with other several looking Mod pieces. The late 1960s and early 1970s served as inspiration, with a pinch of 1940s Dandy-ism! The following below are quotes and excerpts pulled from various sources covering Milan's Fashion week. Dig it kiddas!





"Bottega Veneta was groundbreaking with this military/patchwork jacket. And Gucci like always didn't disappoint me with black jackets over black V-neck t-shirts and white pants. Notice how the shoes are worn without socks, afterall it's Summer.

Canali in my opinion was the best collection this time on Milan due to it's very dandy ensembles, that went from the 40s, to 60s Mod to "Miami Vice". Black and brown (in its light shades) played a key part for Canali, along with the Persol sunglasses worn by the models."




"Ferragamo continued proving why it's one of the best options for suits and elegance. From semi casual to formal dandy this collection was one of my favorites. Above a very Nautical ensemble from Ferragamo, notice the sandals and double breasted jacket which are a trend for this season.Cavalli on the other hand presented us a collection that was inspired by the 70s Rock Scene with simple yet bold pieces such as this white jacket with white jeans and light blue shirt. Something to wear to the club this summer."





"Dolce & Gabbana menswear celebrated its 20Th anniversary with a collection made up of many white colored suits, 30s and 50s inspired bathing suit ensembles, colorful jackets, linens; all to the beat of Annie Lennox. Above an outfit that is great to stroll around the Amalfi Coast in Italy or St. Tropez during the Summer. Corneliani presented a collection that went from "The Great Gatsby" to the 70s with its Safari Jackets (very much like those worn by Yves Saint Laurent)."
