Milan Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2024 has just wrapped up, let’s dive into the heart of style and sophistication, and explore the highlights from some of the most iconic brands that graced the runway this season.

Stone Island

Since I was a child, my mother, an elementary school teacher, always surrounded me with beautiful illustrated books and encouraged me to follow my dreams. My father, instead, was the creative force in the family, a highly inventive carpenter. I grew up in his workshop, filled with wood and tools, which I used to craft toys with my own hands.

The restlessness that emanates from my art began in my adolescence: the fear of growing up, the difficulties in relating to others, the struggle with self-acceptance, and the feeling of loneliness. I attempted to ease my anxieties by immersing myself in sugary worlds, which only led to a perpetual sense of never being fully satisfied, always craving more.

I allude to a conflicted relationship with food, a form of addiction, or suppression of appetites driven by a need for affection rather than sugar. The compulsion to control my world, and the fear of succumbing to someone else’s authority are recurring themes still today in my art.

Fendi

At Milan Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2024, Fendi’s menswear collection stood out with its unique reinvention of British country style, seamlessly blended with a futuristic edge. The collection was a perfect mix of functionality and avant-garde design, luxurious yet playful, embodying Venturini Fendi’s vision of a future-forward menswear that’s brimming with attitude. This masterful combination showcased Fendi’s ability to redefine traditional codes in a contemporary context, making it one of the most memorable shows of the season.

Emporio Armani

Emporio Armani, the brand that consistently epitomizes Italian elegance, did not disappoint. Giorgio Armani presented a collection that paid homage to sailors and maritime themes. The designs included sailor hats, structured sailor coats, and tailored pieces adorned with sailor motifs. The show concluded with a series of models in bejeweled or embroidered capes and tailoring.

Armani boldly revisited the iconic ’80s fashion era, introducing a line of biker-style jackets, suits, and trench coats with a distinctive broad-shouldered silhouette. This design choice harkens back to the spacious and standout styles reminiscent of those worn by Rick Astley in his famed music videos, marking a daring and nostalgic move in Armani’s collection. Each piece exemplified the brand’s commitment to quality and style, perfect for the man who appreciates the finer things in life.

The collaboration with Amy Berg, the director of ‘Phoenix Rising’ for some animated segments of her documentary was equally rewarding. I was encouraged to work with complete freedom and creative respect. It’s a privilege when clients treat you this way, as an artist rather than just a laborer

Prada

Prada, always a trendsetter, took a slightly different route this season. Their collection was a nod to vintage styles, but with a modern twist. It was all about reinventing classic looks with an edge, creating a blend that was both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Their use of unconventional materials and patterns made their collection one of the most talked-about at the event. Prada presented a collection that explored the dynamic interplay between different environments, specifically the contrast between office settings and outdoor elements. This theme was evident in the collection’s tailoring, which Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons reimagined with a unique blend of classic and sporty influences, borrowing aspects from the world of swimming.

The show itself was a testament to Prada’s ability to challenge and redefine conventional fashion narratives. This collection marked yet another chapter in Prada’s long-standing tradition of pushing the boundaries of fashion, blending traditional elements with unexpected, contemporary twists.

JW Anderson

JW Anderson’s collection was a true spectacle of creativity. Known for pushing boundaries, this year’s collection was a mix of avant-garde and practicality. Inspired by Stanley Kubrick’s movie “Eyes Wide Shut”, JW Anderson’s collection included dramatic elements like knitwear with bulbous ruffles, while also offering more wearable pieces such as oversized chore jackets paired with simple trousers.

MSGM

Massimo Giorgetti gives MSGM some edge and taking the unpreddictable route by framing his show in improbable locations. This time MSGM staged the show at the Porta Venezia metro station. MSGM’s collection collaborated with architect Franco Albini. The designs included eclectic graphics inspired by the metro walls, with a focus on simple yet impactful designs like sparkly tinsel knits, wide trousers, and boxy suits.

The girls within my art embody a fusion of witches, saints, and wielders of otherworldly powers. My young heroines endeavor to overcome their monsters and assert their independence, even in the face of approaching princes.

Yet, at times, the price of this independence is solitude

Zegna

Last but not least, Zegna presented a collection that was the epitome of modern luxury. Zegna showcased a range that highlighted the versatility of cashmere, symbolizing innovation in menswear. The collection was characterized by layering, but with a renewed sense of generosity, creating relaxed and enveloping shapes that were neither constricting nor shapeless. The designs emphasized modularity, allowing for mixing and matching of tops, bottoms, underpinnings, and accessories to create a personal canvas.

Their focus on fine tailoring, luxurious fabrics, and a muted color palette resonated with a sense of understated elegance. It was a masterclass in how minimalism can make a powerful impact, ideal for the gentleman who values simplicity and sophistication. Closing out Milan Fashion Week, Zegna’s collection was well-received for its focus on quiet luxury. The brand has been a favorite among those appreciating this understated style, much like Brunello Cucinelli and Loro Piana.

Wow! Thank you so much for the article! I love this artist so much. His work is really fascinating.

New drop FXLB x Edward Acosta

A thin edge of seduction and the consumerism fetish is thoroughly blurred in Acosta’s art in the use of both light, and dark tones. Bold lines serve as a fashionable juxtaposition of a peaceful dream-like state and a vivid color, representing action and presence in the moment.
