Dolce&Gabbana Menswear *The Chinese Palace* Spring/Summer 2016 Collection.
Milan Fashion Week, 20 June 2015.
Dolce&Gabbana was shown very interesting and beautiful collection.
A few words about the collection and about the Show :
The show started out well with silk printed suits, boxy tops, and trousers coming out covered in preening peacocks, birds perched on bamboo reeds, and classic undulating dragons that slid over tie patterned backdrops. Striking too were the graphic, almost cinematic, black and white lined fabrics. All of it had a luxury attitude about it even when deftly tailored. 
The introduction of ripped jeans and some perfectly faded and fitted leather jackets also worked well within the Dolce & Gabbana universe, as did the reappearance of some of the print motifs, this time brought to life through embroidery. 
The second part of the Show was a „Sicilian“. Rough jute tops with gilded black and white images of Madonna and child, lemon tree printed ensembles, and loud, primary-color naive drawings of chinese iconography . Maaybe it felt disconnected  from the groundwork laid in the first half of the Show but it was an awesome Show. In the final part, all 102 models came out wearing polo versions of some of the collection’s silk print designs.
I hope  you will like the runway *Looks* i choosed to post:

Menswear Spring/Summer 2016 – *Valentino* Spring/Summer 2016 Collection. Paris Fashion Week.

*Valentino*  Spring/Summer 2016 Collection by Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccoli , creativ Directors
Paris Fashion Week 24 June 2015

About Brand *Valentino*:

After the departure of Valentino Garavani, in 2007, the company’s new owners, private equity firm Permira, struggled to find the right creative leadership for the business. Though still a red carpet favourite, the brand was unable to reclaim the international cachet it once had. But since 2008, when Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli took the reins as co-creative directors, the duo have taken the fashion industry by surprise, breathing new creative energy into the brand and rocketing Valentino back to the forefront of fashion. Sales have improved, and lucrative accessories now account for nearly half of sales in some stores. They have also revitalized the menswear Business.

This collection was packed with normal items that normal men will want to wear – great bombers with fun details on the back, jean jackets, Hawaiian shirts, army coats. But there was a strange air of forced nonchalance – you saw it in those souvenir jackets and you saw it in the way the show notes promised the pieces were ‘pages of a thrilling diary to be worn.‘ That’s the one thing box-fresh clothes don’t have: stories. That’s why our old favourites have such meaning – they carry with them memories. So, sure models wore jeans, but these clothes were too considered to be truly carefree or rich in narrative. Valentino is about couture-level detail, craft and luxury – when they began their menswear they even branded it ‘Couture’. They’re not the only ones trying to make new clothes look old to emphasis their value or insouciance this season, but they’re at their best when they don’t try to justify their pieces by styling them down.

Menswear Spring/Summer 2016 – Walter Van Beirendonck‘ s * Electric Eye* collection in Paris Fashion Week.

Walter Van Beirendonck  * Electric Eye * Spring/Summer 2016 collection was shown yesterday,24 June 2015 in Paris Fashion Week.
Genie of Walter Van Beiendonck , his creativity is that was we like! It was a best show till now! He never got tired of fashion, i’m sure about it.
„ Dubbed Electric Eye after David Bowie’s Moonage Daydream, the collection featured suits rendered in children’s fabrics that looked like they could have been purchased at Ikea. Covered in little mushrooms, elephants and monsters they were the picture of innocence. But nothing is ever quite what it seems with Van Beirendonck – – he’d twisted this collection, making it a little sick and a little sinister. You saw it in the shoes with black bubbles around the sole as if the wearer had walked in dangerous mud and in suits that became a staring face thanks to cut outs that left the eyes sitting just in front of the wearer’s nipples.“
And not only…  see those sheer black jackets and nude latex tops… It makes Walter Van Beirendonck so unique!
Van Beirendock’s Show took place on the stage of the famous Théâtre du Châtelet. It made us thinking about spectacle and the theatre of Fashion.  What want say Walter Van Beirendonck with his *Electric Eye* collection? It sounds magical… Here are the Runway *Looks* ,  i hope you will enjoy it!
