The Missoni Man SS 2020 collection is a harmony of fluid tensions; channeling the poetic irreverence and inherent nonchalance that defined the iconic style of Serge Gainsbourg. Informally formal, spontaneous and unconventional, Gainsbourg’s sartorial attire unveiled a personal realm of artistic freedom and travel that came to represent the quintessence of French insouciance and elan. His chic and effortless manner expressed an alternative cool with hints of exotic bohemianism and inspired this season’s collection of relaxed, softly tailored garments that epitomize Missoni’s take on contemporary sport-lux.
Perhaps the Mayan’s were wrong. Could it be the end they saw for 2012 as simply the elimination of “Skinny” in menswear? Calvin Klein’s latest collection presented at Milan Fashion Week, denotes the return of loose comfortable cuts in menswear. The collection featuring Klein’s trademark neutral palette and tailored style showed a lack of the form fitting styles of the last few seasons. Male models donned below the knee cropped trousers and casual fit straight legged denim. The skater chic look of the last few years were all but forgotten with the newest looks.
