Gucci Men Spring 2010 Milan Fashion Week
The house of Gucci showcased its Spring 2010 menswear through a runway show last June 21 with a strong inspiration to the work of Latin American architect, Oscar Niemeyer.

White as the key opening color of this spring 2010 was inspired by Niemeyer who designed a certain number of his buildings in white. Niemeyer’s lifeworks are generally curvilinear and based on reflecting and imitating the abundance and altered fauna of his native Brazil. In contrast to the latest clothing lines of Gucci’s creative director Frida Giannini were largely linear and straight.
The collections are looked great in an excellent series of evening looks. Designed with tapered pants cut off above the ankle and fine two-button suits made in cool jacquards and silks in wonderful hues of indigo and burnt rose.
The Gucci menswear, besides of its less Brazilian style had even little to do with modern men’s fashion. Some of them looked too familiar from Giannini’s most recent collections for the brand and their New Wave rocket attitude.
The designer also showcased a series of surfer looks made of modern nylons and micro fibers, but looks seem someone who had never actually surfed designed them.
“High tech kite surfer,” said Gianinni, who confessed to not having really tried the sport. “My arms are too weak,” she laughed. (yahoo fashion news)
Oscar Niemeyer never recognized his ideas in this Gucci collection even his buildings tapped directly into his immediate and exotic environment for inspiration.

The label’s design director, Alexander Plohkov through the effort of Donatella Versace made some tailoring “codes’ like sleek double breasted jackets in white linen perverted the mood by creating beautiful elongated djellabas with hazy desert mirage prints.
The Saharan theme creates a lively setting in stylish beige leather tops and bags with patchwork covered the show. A wide array of colors such as palette of khaki, white and sand is being used on silk muslin and crumpled leather fabrics.
The overall show made a genial roving nonchalance that recalled military braiding through its smart details like cavalry tassel belts and wristbands or even on faille collars on tuxedos.
Prada Men Spring 2009/2010 Milan Fashion Week
The designer, Miuccia Prada came up with some latest fashion for men in a Milan where the overriding feeling is of designers twist from their own previous body of work.
The spring 2010 menswear collection was covered and mixed with colors ranging from black to white made up of quotes from confusing movies to a great new stage set of wet shade walls.

You could imagine the show seems a somber summer moment because of quotes in giant two-foot-high script and the charcoal foam seating to the collection itself, largely made up of various takes on gray.
Miuccia once said: “A movie, in black and white,” floated around with trays of the ideal, color coordinated cocktail – a White Russian. Even though it was restricted in color, this is one of the most innovative shows ever in Milan collections.
The designer remake her own silhouette and tailoring in an excellent way exclusively for Milan. The newest innovative thing could be found on jackets where the jacket lapel is drawn out to the belly button and even double-breasted looks have just two buttons.
The Prada’s accessory department also had an excellent part to the whole transparency trend of this four-day Italian event. The house showcased perforated leather shoes and pork pie hats and see-through dusters in a mesh nylon material paired with sneakers and fishing gears.

A collection full of styles, glamor and elegance ranging from siren dresses, slinky charmers slips, and amorous ball gowns. This collection represents the deliberate polish and sophistication of such smart, independent, and uniquely American stars as Rita Hayworth, Marilyn Monroe, Ava Gardner and Jean Harlow. These legendary women came to define the myth that became American cinema.
Truly, Vera Wang knows how to ignite our senses with strong seductive techniques with her collection. We can see backs of dresses and gowns, giant bows, ties, and petticoats to bouquets of cut blossoms that provide extra doses of drama and flirtation that make an exit even more significant than an entrance.

Milan Fashion Industry seen Falling again in 2009
Milan, the business, fashion and design capital of Italy is seen falling again this year after its fashion turnover. The demand for designer fashion stuffs saps as the recession continues.
The National Chamber of Fashion in Italy forecast on Monday, the turnover was seen down 6.5 percent to 62.176 billion euros ($86.31 billion) in 2009 and there’a tendency to fall higher.

The chamber’s chairman, Mario Boselli told a news conference ahead of Milan’s menswear fashion week, which runs June 20-23, “This seems optimistic.”
“2009 had started “in the worst way” and a 3 percent fall in fashion turnover was expected for the second half of the year.
Last year, turnover for Italy’s fashion industry, known for names such as Giorgio Armani and Prada, fell 4 percent to 66.498 billion euros.
Luxury brands have not been spared by the global economic turmoil and the sector has been hit by restrained spending even among the super-rich.
Large players are seen better able to weather the storm and observers see smaller and family-run companies being the hardest hit.
Italy’s fashion industry earlier this year warned its members risked “falling to pieces” as they feel the strains of the economic crisis and called for government help.
