SETTE MAGAZINE EN VOGUE TENDENZA SENZA IRONIA UGUALE FARSA

In the past 2 years fashion made great progess. This is, in part, because of the success obtained by talented new designers (which are helping the best established designers pushing the boundaries of creative inspiration) and is in part because now is clear that menswear doesn’t have a subordinate role in fashion and that it’s not just a complement. Since 2010 the standardization of fashion has been disappearing and new trends have been bringing up our desire to dress to impress, others and ouselves, which is a pleasure based on pure self-expression and individuality. However there are always ecceptions, like certain annoying fashion excesses. If before it was almost a “shame” admitting to be a fashion follower , nowadays during fashion week journalists, fashion bloggers and so on have been fighting eachother in a battle of ridiculous looks in the hope of being fotographed by Scott Shuman or, at least by any of his imitators. Such parade, if played without any irony or taste, could call into question the value of the brand’s fashion creations themselves. All of this, which at first seemed funny, today feels like a farce taking credit off the system and degrading the fashion industry. Picture by Davide Cernuschi from Harper’s Bazaar Uomo, 1996.

SCHEMA LIBERO MESCOLANZE

I enjoy taking risks mixing up styles from different eras. I am fascinated by the good results one can obtain by mixing different styles, in fashion but also in design. In the late 80s I used to match shirts and waistcoats by Romeo Gigli with ties and trousers by Armani. I just adored the contrast between different fabrics, Gigli’s cotton peach skin fabric and Armani’s crispy wool. I also love how these materials fit differently: tight-fitting the first one, loose fitting the second. The same goes for design: at the Angelo’s bistrot in Milan, there are original floors in warm shades from the 40s and austere 50s german school chairs together with modern artworks which have been realized on panels by the two danish artists Uffe Frank and Sonny Asemota. They are apparently very distant visual codes and expressions but once together they are surprisingly relatable to each other. In the picture a corner of the Angelo’s bistrot in Via Savona, Milan.

FOCUS ON MAN FALL/WINTER COLLECTIONS: PRESS DAY

La rassegna dei Press Day curata dalla mia redazione per The Men Issue – Carlo Ortenzi (Max, Sette) , Mattia Maulini (Max e Max online fashion area), Angelica Pianarosa (Max, Style, Io Donna) , Andrea Porro (Max, Style, Style Country, Io Donna e The Men Issue), e Luca Roscini (Style, Style Golf e Max), continua. Dal secondo round,  decisamente vince la volontà di affermare  un’ appartenenza timeless, anche nell’ outdoor. Il casual stesso si appropria di abbinamenti con materiali rubati al classico, come il coat di Pirelli Pzero con l’ interno in tessuto tecnico ma l’esterno in lana Galles. Eleganza è la parola d’ordine. Unico momento veramente fashion, la giacca di Moschino con stampa mattoni che rammenta le pareti di alcuni club newyorchesi o del milanese No Ties dei tempi che furono.

The Press Day report done for The Men Issue by my fashion group – Carlo Ortenzi (Max, Sette) , Mattia Maulini (Max e Max online fashion area), Angelica Pianarosa (Max, Style, Io Donna) , Andrea Porro (Max, Style, Style Country, Io Donna e The Men Issue), e Luca Roscini (Style, Style Golf e Max) – is going on. In this second round, the need to consolidate a timeless mood develops above all, as well as in outdoor menswear. The same casual-wear itself gets possession of materials that it steals by formal-wear, like – for example  – The PirelliPZero coat that has a tech fabric inside although the out is by Prince of Wales wool. Elegance is the password. The only fashion moment is the Moschino jacket with a brick print that reminds at some NY clubs and even at the milanese No Ties club quite famous in  the 80’s period.
