More Milan Menswear Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2012/2013 Highlights--Now, it's time for Gucci: Creative Director/Head Designer Frida Giannini showed her latest offering for Gucci Menswear Fall 2012 in Milan early this week. The silhouettes were thin, 60's-like and elegant--all the buzzwords that have been staples of the Gucci menswear collections as of late. Giannini's Gucci boy is a chic struggling artist/musician (not so struggling, if he can afford an $800 pair of pants!). She took this theme forward with this most recent collection.
The trousers were unusually loose at the hips and thigh but got stovepipe skinny down the leg and to the ankle. Lots of subtle elegant prints--like jacquard's, paisleys--seen in everything from those aforementioned trousers to jackets. And of course, being that it was Gucci--there were some GORGEOUS bags, sunglasses and shoes, the stuff that any of us will actually be buying! I was also loving the chunky sweater layered over suiting seen above!

Man Style Fall 2011: 60s/70s Stylings, UBER-fitted Double-Breasted/Cropped Jackets, Drop-crotch Pants and "High-Waters"...
The Menswear Collections for Fall/Winter 2011 are occurring as we speak in Europe. First Milan and now, they are happening in Paris. So, here are some of my "Nick Highlights" from the first stop: Milan. Want to know what you should be looking like--and the styles you should be wearing this Fall? Well, it's all below...get ready for Shrunken Fitted Jackets and MORE Drop-Crotch Pants. Shall we begin:
Key Trends: Drop Crotch Pants; cropped pants; very fitted waistcoats (vests); over-hanging shirts; leather Tannery Worker aprons(?); worn jeans
Style.com's Tim Blanks ended his review on this note: "Lean, mean monochrome tailoring; skinny denims; judicious use of black leather detailing; hints of luxury in fur trims; and crystal-beaded waistcoats. It may just be enough to seduce their fan base, but today it felt like slim pickings for everyone else" Click Below for the Runway Video of DSquared2 Fall/Winter 2011:
Themes: Bryan Ferry Tailored Rocker Glam, "Come On Eileen" with Money
Here's a quote from Tim Blanks: "The clothes on the runway, though, were better suited to East End boys. Low-rise, multi-pocketed pants were slung off skinny suspenders. One model sported Freddy Krueger stripes and a trilby casually tossed back on his head. There was a spiffy edge to a checked, fitted, double-breasted jacket, while cropped, double-vented jackets and those pegged, low-slung pants created a boxy, bubble-butted silhouette that added beef to the already buff models" Click Below for the Runway Video of Dolce & Gabbana Fall/Winter 2011: Gucci Fall/Winter 2011:
Tim Blanks from Style.com said this: "The cornerstone of the collection was a lean two-button suit, its trouser flaring slightly over the shoe. With Faces-era Rod Stewart croaking over the sound system, the connection with a vintage Gucci moment was inescapable" Click Below for the Gucci Fall/Winter 2011 Runway Video:
