Milan Men's Fashion with Camera Moda


Last week, Milan Men's Fashion Week welcomed the world back following a near two-year-long hiatus due to the pandemic. Camera Moda, Milan’s fashion and community incubator courted wary travelers back with promises of luxury hotel stays, a return to the front row, and of course, a designated E Class Mercedes Benz. They did not disappoint.

 

While the four-day schedule stood a modest 11 shows, heritage names including  Zegna, Canali, and Missoni held one-on-one showroom previews for those who made the trek to Milano.

 

Considering the city’s rich culture and position in fashion, it has served as one of a staple for classic suiting and premium leather goods. There was something refreshing and new about this year’s fall/winter reveals. It felt as if the old guard was seeing the post-quarantine light and catching up to the examples set by more youthful Italian brands such as Sunnei, Magliano, and Jordanluca, who all showed collections filled with emotion, color, and diverse silhouettes.

Zegna, who previously collaborated with designer Jerry Lorenzo and his label Fear Of God, showed a collection which was said to “echo our founder’s essential truth of hoping to weave the fabric of a tomorrow that feels worthy of our dreams.” And it did just that, with sartorial elements supplemented by technical fabrics and shapes for the modern individual. A visual assurance that we won’t be working from home forever. Canali dubbed their Fall/Winter 2022 collection as an ode to the art déco vibes of 1930, also highlighting the modern wearer who secretly likes to party. 

 

After having a chance to digest those 96 hours in Italy, and then hearing about RHUDE founder and designer Rhuigi Villaseñor being named creative director of Bally, there’s no denying the skill and influence of this new school. And as life progresses and this pandemic hopefully continues to subside, we watch in anticipation as today’s current design minds take over Italy— because the kids wear suits too.
