I am the one who buy fashion magazines only to look at the pictures (advertising included).
I rarely read the articles (only designers biographies and horoscope). This is not a superficial reading but a sensory reading, because the pictures have to talk directly to your brain. If something in a mass of clothes and shoes strikes your mind, it's done! Fashion have to speak to your style and personality without intermediaries.This time I 've tried to give voice to my thoughts about the men's fashion shows fall winter 2011-2012 Milan. Here is my review about Umit Benan fashion show in Milan on L' Uomo Vogue n. 419 of March.
The Umit Benan man is a relaxed gentleman that Scott Schuman (The Sartorialist) would like to meet and photograph on the streets of New York and Florence. Sartorial elegance with a casual touch. New shapes and elements add classic elegance and contemporary cool to the male wardrobe, inventing a classic and fresh contemporary elegance. The subversive and frivolous skirt leggings are tamed by the severity of a double-breasted jacket on the colors of blue and gray to black.We are looking for as a new balance between revolution and classic trend without losing the subtle charm of the formal gentleman.
