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.

Emporio Armani Menswear Spring/Summer 2016 – Fusion Collection.

Four days of menswear previews for next spring and summer began Saturday with Emporio Armani, Dolce&Gabbana, Jil Sander, Versace,Philipp Plein.and Marni. Marni is showing menswear on the runway for the first time.

Armani talked of a Fusion – a buzzword in the globalisation of Fashion . When trying to cater to such a broad range of shoppers, all living in different climates with different heritages, collections can start to feel like a clash of opposing ideas and directions, packaged up together for the sake of a fashion show. Fusion can be tricky. But Armani put his signatures first, and that’s why this worked. The collection was light and layered, featuring classic Armani shapes in neutral tones. The looks were loose with textured and sometimes crinkled fabric, easy to imagine zipping along urban streets. There was a focus on pants, with roomy pleated trousers that seemed to drape the leg. More athletic knit trousers were cinched at the ankle. Whether the look was formal or casual ultimately was defined by the jacket, ranging from double-breasted to more Asian-inspired looks with pagoda shoulders. And there were wonderful papery anoraks for that unexpected shower. As was the clean, considered minimalism that we’ve come to expect.

Though it was menswear, Armani sent a dozen women’s looks down the runway, displaying the adaptability of men’s tailoring for women. A series of men’s cut shirts over baggy trousers would have suited her well.One of the womenswear looks that featured in the collection could almost have been an ode to the pop-friendly school girl style of some young Japanese women thanks to those tailored shorts, crossed braces and flats.
