Trends from Milan - Autum 2013!

So it's the end of the Milan fashion week for men F/W 2013.. I watched this morning live streaming Giorgio Armani and I have to say that show stood out, they had all the trend setters and there were many "show stoppers" in my opinion! The most obvious trends that have been shown so far from Europe is Velvet ( almost all of the shows contained velvet suit), also there was a lot of leather both coats, jackets and pants. Many different types of hats in all sizes and shapes and not to forget big hand bags.  Red was the most visible color with blue and black, but most of the designers had very graphic and "out there" patterns.

This is my first for 5 years that I'm not in Milan in the fashion week time god this is the time to miss Milan like crazy.. I just love staying in all the chaos that is down town now!

Denim, Leather, Lace, Fur and more for Versace this Fall

I've been looking at the shows for Men Fall 2013.. many of them are quite interesting!!
Versace was maybe too interesting, I haven't figure out where they are going with the show, there are too many fabrics, colors, patterns, shapes going on there. You can clearly see influences by the 80's and also a bit from Punk but in the end it's very confusing.
In the show there were oversize jackets and pants, lace, denim, colors like red, blue, silver, grey, brown, black, white and also various patterns everything from checkered to zebra.
Here are some samples from the fashion show that will give you an idea what they are presenting for next winter so guys be prepared :)

Versace Men F/W 2013:

 Acid-trip pattern

 Camflash zebra

 Checkered suits

 Oversize over oversize

 Crashing with 80's

 White lace costume

..and in the end a little bit of fur!

This show made me very confused, the only consistency was the hair color  of the models! It seems Donatella wants to make many trends this year.. overload with fabrics and patterns. Also I was very disappointed since she squeezed so many "trends" into her show but choice to skip the hats?!    

Yeah this one will no be on my top list..

Going to keep on browsing through the shows so I hope you are enjoying the men fashion week as much as I am!!!
