Milan SS12 Fashion Week has just finished. Designers are back to their shelter; thinking what is next to design. Us, on the other side are invited to think what is next to wear. What we wear today might not be common tomorrow. Baggy jeans might be in decades ago; today we barely see people in one. Trends come and go. However, the funny thing is we kept being amused and followed them. Enough said, so where do men head next season?
Prints are the next big story for the coming season. Prints are not new; it was predicted to dominate the season; and it is. The strong implication it has on many of design houses like Armani and Givenchy had produced some amusement of prints for tops in Milan Fashion Show SS12. Subtle geometry like check on a sweater that quietly dissolved into the zigzags was Armanis concession to the coming trend. It blended in perfectly on a cotton shirt and pants. While John Richmond used prints based on Japanese tattoos on tees and knits.
Nonetheless, prints do not come alone. Nothing is, really. As to celebrate the revival of the sun, match-color will play a dominant role. As it did last season to women, matchy-matchy - the term used to described one-color integration will appear to be dominant in menswear collection this coming Spring. Regardless of how eccentric it may seem to wear one, it is not true. Ermenegildo Zegna showed us exactly how to wear the same color and still look sleek and neat. A sense of ease was apparent throughout in fact. A light color like palest blue or green, dasty mauve or sand or the like will be an alternative to play the trend in low. As oppose, you could always play it hard with Alexander McQuenn or Canaly.
No matter how good one product is; there will be some who like a bit of both. Is a bit of everything always producing a good show? You decide yourself. Givenchy has show how to integrate the two. In the world of Givenchy, it is a tropical-flower prints, crystals and sequins sparkling like dew on leaves. Some says, everything just looks better under the sunlight.
As said by Yves Saint Laurent, Fashions fade, style is eternal. Your style and signature are born with. Its something you could not get away from. The right question at the end of the day is not which way are you going but which one are you.
