Menswear fashion and design has accelerated to warp speed dimension-

and the energy is electric.

 

…

Menswear trends are no longer, as time of old,

limited to the mundane and expected:

adjusting lapel silhouettes, trouser hems or tie widths.

Today, menswear designs are inspirited with inventive perspectives,

avant garde concepts and boundary explosions of gender non-specific attire.

Nowhere is this more in evidence than during Pitti Uomo (Florence, Italy):

the menswear fashion event of galactic scope.

 

…

Pitti Uomo runway presentations for Fall 2015 are now underway,

to conclude this Tuesday, 20 January.

The designs have not disappointed: inspired and inspirational.

Menswear design have jetted onward into a new frontier

with enthusiasm and with enthused response.

…

Gents, these are exciting times!

…

Consider a few highlights from the Pitti Uomo runway shows for style ideas:

autumn/winter 2014, Christoper Shannon, menswear, menswear - bold accents, menswear designers, menswear fashion, sportswear

 

“Kitted, like a football team,”

is how British menswear designer Christopher Shannon

describes his a/w 2014 collection.

 

…

menswear designer, Christopher Shannon

…

The pieces generate an urban, sportswear, contemporary vibe

tempered with a soft, effortlessness:  a blend of street attitude and lux ease.

The materials and patterns use tell the style-story of

a certain toughness with leather, a visual softness with florals

and an inventiveness with men’s knit silhouette.

were striking statement pieces.

Men’s white toiletry bags as carriers added colour interest and style attention.

Mr. Shannon won the inaugural  BFC/GQ Designer Menswear Fund-

With Alan Taylor and Bobby Abley,

 the MAN menswear a/w 2014 design trio is completed  by

Craig Green –

BA/MA graduate of prestigious Central Saint Martins College, London.

…

Always poised to push the boundaries out,  just that bit further

Green presented a collection, which seemed relatively subdued –

in light of his previous offerings.

…

Black was prevalent colour, which grounded the collection

 adding textural interest with fabrics/materials.

Juxta-posed were opulent, colourful, patterned pieces.

Leather body harness with floor length strips,

some with carrier elements –

was an edge factor.

…

The noted accessories:

hand-held bags with front pouch

brogue-like shoes – laced under double straps

were spot on sensational.

…

The design aesthetics were of Asian influences in silhouette and styling:

Chinese skull-caps, wide-rimmed shade hats

Garments were: loose, asymmetric, layered –

kindred spirit to the design philosophy of  Yohji Yamamoto.

The collection is clean, elegant, un-fussed.
