Day 1:

After the recently concluded, filled with fun and casual outfits, Milan Menswear Spring Summer 2015, Paris Mens Fashion began with designers like Valentino, Raf Simons, Julien David, Haider Ackermann, Carven and 22/04_Hommes among others, showcasing their collections on the runway.

The major highlights of the day began with Valentino presenting a fine quality collection with matt finishing outfits. The collection included garments which could be worn as formal wears as well as causal wear, with reference to the blend of loose printed trousers paired with sleek uppers and the sophisticated long over coats paired with formal pants. The colour combination was masculine, dark and sober, including maroon, dark blue, black, rust and beige. Speaking of the embellishments, the designer employed some beautiful floral and butterfly prints along with a few metallic patch prints for the zipper jackets and buttoned trench coats. Moreover, the look was complemented by the brand’s iconic hand bags and carry bags in effluent leather, synchronised with the airy floaters, printed slippers and leather shoes.

Next up, Haider Ackermann came up with vintage presentation for his collection which was bulky because of excessive layering. As a part of embellishments, the designer used some warm stoles, velvet jackets, over check shirts, which altogether gave a messed up look. Not a formal wear, the collection included some artistic pants in different fabrics like silk, leather and cotton, enhanced with check and floral prints. The designer concentrated more on the comfort factor by creating some loose pants in the above mentioned body friendly fabrics. However, the footwear was a mix and match job, including everything from formal leather shoes, to cool slippers and velvet shoes. Colour palette was variegated, including skin, maroon, dark green, rust, bold pink and metallic red.

Julien David on the other hand presented a quirky collection on a simplistic runway with models majorly dressed up in over-sized sweatshirts paired with loose shorts, ill fitted suits, woollen sweaters paired with woollen capris, and an additional enhancement of a sporty cap with every garment. Also showcased were simple and classy cardigans with a bow-tie shirt and skin fit navy blue jumpsuits. Besides, the over and above attraction of the whole look was the cool pair of sneakers that every garment was accessorised with.

It was Raf Simons who put an end to the day with his collection of comfortable cut-sleeved uppers, trim suits, over coats and ganjis. The colour palette included sky blue, leaf green, metallic violet, blunt pink, dull orange and beige among others. Footwear was very attractive, in thick soles and fluorescents colours. The collection was a reflection of Simons’ earlier works and undoubtedly fresh and casual.

Day 4:

The final day of the Milan fashion week was replete of some casual and fun loving collection in vibrant colours and grand prints. Seen on the runway were collections from brands like Dsquared2, Giorgio Armani, Ermanno Scervino, Frankie Morello, Roberto Cavalli and Tom Rebl among others.

The day began with Dsquared2 presenting a collection ideal for holidays, beach hangouts, swimwear and other casual events. Surprisingly, the designer employed some a wide range of neon colours for his collection, which also included some feminine colours like neon pink, green, orange, yellow and white. The garments were accessorised by some cool pairs of sneaker and loafer shoes, in contrasting colours with the garments. As a part of embellishments, the designer included some polka dot prints, badges, graffiti prints, and typography. Besides, the garments also included a few denim jackets, funky loose jeans, casual lowers, trousers and many more.

Next came in Giorgio Armani with a classy set up on a skin coloured runway. The collection showcased was replete of some easy to wear comfortable clothes in a masculine colour scheme which included navy blue, grey, white and nude. It included garments that could be worn at work and for similar official meetings etc. Embellishments included striped printed shirts, six buttoned jackets, coats and cardigans, polka dots and sophisticated waist belts. Moreover, the designer accessorised the whole look with its extremely product and elegant looking leather hand bags, sling bags. However, the footwear contradictorily comprised the cool, airy floaters along with some glossy leather shoes.

Speaking of the exuberant Roberto Cavalli, the designer came up with a retro setup on the runway enhanced with some neon laser lights in the background. Similarly, the collection was also very retro, very fun loving, casual and an ideal party wear. Artistically employed were the very sexy animal prints, some funky feminine colours including parrot green and violet, and a couple of see through fabrics to add to the cool-dude look. Also seen were terrestrial printed trousers, jumpsuits, waist scarves and balloon capris. All in all, the metallic pants, the leather jackets and trousers, all could do wonders for people who are hard-core party animals.

Moving on, Tom Rebl came up with an otherwise serious collection which added some dynamism and drama to the ambience of the evening. Also, the collection had a glimpse of couture wear, where a few models were seen attired in traditional brocade sherwanis and a luxurious pearl neck pieces. Besides, white was a predominant colour among the ensembles,
