It took seven months of long wait to be able to see the collaboration between Dior and RIMOWA live, but it was worth it.Presented for the first time during the spring / summer 2020 collection show, the collaborative collection conceived by the meeting between the French fashion house and the German brand it has generated one of the most evident symbols of modern luxury.The unparalleled quality in the construction of aluminum luggage has in fact crossed with the refinement of the style of Kim Jones, who wanted to experiment with innovative silhouettes from add to the inevitable classics.

Homo Faber, the crafts of art return to Venice.

The new classicism, which is the clearest message from Milan’s fashion week, sounded like a hymn to the boy instead of a call to order. The collections of a nostalgic return to school are increasingly emerging in his collections. .The invitation, written in a round and uncertain handwriting, speaks of “fifth birthday raves”; the collection notes are entrusted to the folded protocol sheet, like the old topics in the classroom. On the catwalk, new accessories of desire, among Liberty’s little flower bags and Richard Hell’s T-shirts, there are tin bags like biscuit boxes, and ox-eye sandals put on with big socks, because after all it’s winter collection. And then there are the clothes: skimpy, tight, sexless and re-proportioned, with a vague taste of the seventies – flared trousers, perhaps in silver leather, blazer with saddle shoulders – and that air of adult classics, adapted to the wardrobe puerile to be worn again by fashionable adults. A very twisted carpatura, of those in which Alessandro Michele excels. The intent, not at all hidden, is to launch a frontal, almost punk, attack on the codes of normative masculinity. A certain “guccificazione”, of cast and look, is evident from Marco De Vincenzo in Magliano, who in fashion is signed with only the surname, he does not have thirty years but is nostalgic for that magma that were the seventies / eighties, everywhere in Europe. He parades in a shady gambling den in Porta Genova, between billiards and low lights, composing a mosaic of gangsters who is sartorially stimulating, but at times costumistic.

Pitti Uomo is the event in which the outlines of men’s fashion are outlined year after year. The beginnings of streetstyle as an obsession were seen right in the streets of Florence, just as today the taste of a classic and elegant style is rediscovered in the edition number 97 of Pitti Uomo, the first of 2020. Trying to guess trends starting from brand proposals for the autumn winter 2020 2021 we seem to see a novelty: a reversal of course, a return to the origin, an implosion of design towards its pulsating core made of double-breasted suits and khaki-colored knitwear. The impression one gets is that of a renewal: tradition exudes from the slits of the Renaissance buildings to convey hi-tech fabrics and new manufacturing techniques into an alchemical pewter. The common denominator of this stylistic equation is absolute attention to the material: quality is not preferred, it is the only possible alternative. And they have always known it at Pitti Uomo. Here are the main trends and the most interesting things seen at Pitti Uomo 2020 just ended. An absolute novelty for menswear is the almost absolute abandonment of dark and cardinal shades such as black and blue, which give way to the more wearable and casual softness of autumn colors. Gray, khaki, sand, military green and ocher intertwine in the Cruciani and Brooksfield knitwear, becoming red and tangerine mottled dove-gray in the Mezulic ready-to-wear.
