CALVIN KLEIN SS11 MENSWEAR ARTICLE OVER AT DAZED DIGITAL
David Hellqvist writes “Calvin Klein heritage is a strong one, and Italo Zucchelli has done a good job sustaining the almighty power that lies within the Calvin Klein name. Not only that, Zucchelli has pushed the boat out of late and his SS ’11 collection on early Saturday afternoon saw him create a look of his own. Naturally, it was always going to be clean, simple and minimal lines, but there was a distinct step towards loud colours, such as mint green, a delightful blue and a deep purple shade.”

CANALI SS11 MENSWEAR COLLECTION MILAN
A theatrical vignette awaited editors at Canali yesterday, an homage to Fellini. Models descended onto the catwalk to the soundtrack of La Dolce Vita and Nino Rota, 1960s Milano the inspiration behind the collection models stood in silhouette in the arched windows of Rome’s Via Veneto.
Finely tailored suits with a natural Canali elegance, contemporary style that is enriched by antique traditions and modern tailoring.
Natural fabrics and slim lines ran through the collection in the form of soft jackets with natural shoulders in classic summer hues beige, taupe, underbrush green with bright mustard highlights. Grey and blue are alternated with black to create softer but impeccably cut and finely constructed suits. All topped off with a suitably chic Borsalino panama and Persol sunglasses.
We can’t wait until they’re available in the new flagship Canali store in London!

PRINGLE OF SCOTLAND SS11 MENSWEAR COLLECTION MILAN
PRINGLE OF SCOTLAND SS11 MENSWEAR COLLECTION MILAN - JUNE 21
The SS11 menswear collection returns with a unique showcase at galleria CARLA sozzani and marks another important step in reaffirming Pringle of Scotland’s’ position as a global luxury brand. The main concept of the collection takes the simple theme of creating a comp lete look made from only one fabrication to form a strong statement – an interpretation across product categories.
Clare Waight Keller comments “This season was really about looking into the classic fabrications of a man’s wardrobe and giving them a new context. The idea of total look but in an informal way was something that I explored in depth, and has resulted in fabrics being used across every element. A shirt is worn under a sweater made of the shirting worn under a trench made of a waxed shirting, the translation of the fabric making the familiar completely fresh and surprising.”
The colour palette, inspired by both Derek Jarman’s film ‘Blue’ and the classic men’s ‘denim’ is the prominent colour story. Complimentary neutral palette of stones, melange greys and whites complete the story.
Throughout, denim is reinterpreted and referenced in its various forms and guises. Waxing on outerwear is another key story - Traditional fabrications, not usually associated with outerwear, are taken and waxed to create super light rainproof outerwear pieces.
New knitted techniques are incorporated into the collection with an intarsia argyle in melange silk and represented in tonal faded blues. The ladder mesh seen in the womenswear AW 10 collection is developed albeit with a masculine interpretation. The iconic twinset is reinforced and is echoed with the concept of underpinning matched with a knitted over piece in the same fabric.

ETRO MILAN MENSWEAR SS11 SHOW
ETRO MILAN MENSWEAR SS11 SHOW
Kean Etro’s tree of life is the date palm that gave the inspiration for paisley designs, the very DNA on which the Etro brand is built.
Spring Summer 11 is no exception, strong in terms of design, colour and structure the actual pieces are extremely lightweight. Kean’s wardrobe is composed of ‘leaves, clouds and light’. Almost weightless jackets, georgette shirts with delicate paisley print in the palest pastels.
Ultra light organic cotton polos, elegant shantung silk jackets with tone on tone bark print. Accessories include oversized totes in the softest hides, contrast sneakers and cut off ties. If a paisley ensemble is too much to start with there is a luxurious aray of printed, jacquard and embroidered scvarves and handkerchiefs in a flux of paisley, flowers and fruits to plant the seed….........
This summer menswear collection will be available from Etro, 14 Old Bond Street, Mayfair, London W1S 4PS; 020 7495 5767

SALVATORE FERRAGAMO MILAN MENSWEAR SPRING/ SUMMER 2011
SALVATORE FERRAGAMO MILAN MENSWEAR SPRING/ SUMMER 2011 SHOW
On a not so sunny lunchtime in Milan, the Salvatore Ferragamo mens s/s2011 show took us to the French Riviera and reminded us of a warm afternoon in an avant garde film.
Influences of Cocteau and Picasso and a holiday feeling of free spirit were seen as the models strode down the mirrored catwalk with projections of a blue cloudy sky hitting the ceiling and floor!! A palette of white and cream contrasted with navy blue stripes and elegant stripes. Silks and luxurious rich fabrics appeared on wide pyjama trousers and fitted blazers.

Things fashion folk are taking about on the front row
THE RAIN AND DOLCE & GABBANA
Yesterday, Dolce&Gabbana celebrated 20 years of their menswear line.
Annie Lennox played at their show and last night in Piazza Scala
hosted a red carpet extravaganza. The celebrations ended in the early
hours this morning with Dominico and Stephano at Plastic on the decks.
The rain continued for the third day running. Most Italians undeterred
still wearing white trousers, navy linen jackets and sunglasses.
