Milan Men's Fashion Week SS 2016: Street Style Part Two

To wrap up Milan Men's Week and before I jump into showing my favorite shows from Paris, here is a round up of the best street styles in Milan last week. Well dressed and always at ease be it casual or formal, there is a natural charm to men on the streets of the Italian fashion capital.

 

 

 

 

Milan Men's Fashion Week SS 2016: Giorgio Armani

Besides the fabulous Missoni collection, my other favorite show from Milan was of course the one and only Giorgio Armani - the gentleman by definition. The collection was reminiscent of his classic looks, the ones that he introduced to the world a few decades ago: double-breasted cardigan jackets, voluminous high-waisted trousers, light jackets in even lighter shades of powder pink or gray, everything converging in flowy, yet very tailored looks. A definite plus of this show: the tailored looks for women, there were some amazing pieces on the runway!

Have a look at my selection of the most interesting looks from the runway, the dark blue ensembles, the white suit paired with a buttoned-up shirt and the checkered jackets are my absolute favorites! 

 

 

Milan Men's Fashion Week SS 2016: Missoni

Missoni presented on Sunday one of my favorite shows from Milan. Soft fabrics and muted  colors set the mood for this Indian-inspired collection, as the models walked on a flower petal path on the runway. The subtle and timeless house prints were on display adding a lighter note to the looks. The collection represents the perfect transition towards the warm season, providing knits and light layers.

 

Among my favorite looks were the beige suede jackets, the striped green cardigan pictured just below, the shawls, the striped cardigan paired with white shorts and the dusty green suede jacket paired with rust-colored shorts. Have a look at some of the best looks from the runway:

Online Shopping Feature on Instagram

Impulse shoppers and fashionistas beware, online shopping was made even easier! Instagram has just announced the release of a new feature - the "Shop now" button, helping us reach a completely different level of social engagement with brands. Just imagine: you're browsing through your Instagram feed, you see the cutest pair of shoes or that perfect dreamy dress you were hoping to find for a wedding you're going to attend and bam! you click the shop now button and you order it in a matter of seconds. Sounds just like a shopper's dream! The only thing that has to keep up with us are our bank accounts haha!

 

Brands are already excited about the possibilities this feature opens up and we're probably going to see a lot of endorsement from their part. Old Navy media director Michele Schuh stated for Adweek that "[Instagram is] an ideal platform to shop on as it's so visual and fashion oriented. We're thrilled that Instagram is now offering users the ability to click directly through to a product, creating instant gratification without any cumbersome steps."

 

This is how the feature should look like on certain promotions:

Style Story: Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic

The latest edition of the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic was held last weekend in Liberty State Park, against the backdrop of  Manhattan's skyline and the Statue of Liberty. Over 7 000 polo and champagne enthusiasts enjoyed a stylish day out in the sun, officially kicking off the summer season. As the event encourages wearing linen suits for the gentlemen and summer dresses and daring hats for the ladies, great style would be guaranteed!

New Face for Parfums Christian Dior: Johnny Depp

Fans hearts all over the world will start fluttering with excitement, as Johnny Depp has just been announced as the face of a new perfume by Parfums Christian Dior. As an actor known for carefully picking his roles and who limits his public appearances, this represents a first for him. There is no word yet about the name of the new fragrance created by François Demachy, other than that it will be released this fall. I know I'll be looking forward to seeing the first ads, how about you? Does the face of a fragrance influence your decision to try it?
