Quirky accessories rule at Milan Fashion Week
THE Autumn/Winter 2018 fashion collections at Milan Men's Fashion Week might be the main event on the
SPECS
fashion circuit right now, but quirky and outrageous accessories have also been vying for attention.
Eyewear is proving to be one of the key trends at Milan this year, with several of the big Italian fashion houses taking a nostalgic and retro approach to spectacles. This proved to be the case at Dolce & Gabbana, where wire-rimmed glasses were worn in classic aviator shapes for a modern intellectual look, and teamed with sleek side partings for a dapper finish. The Dolce & Gabbana show was named “Kings Angels”, and the Italian house introduced what might be the most covetable accessory of AW18 – the crown. There were two versions on show on the catwalk – a plush blue velvet design with gold hardware that was teamed with a jacquard suit and patchwork denim coat, and a winecoloured version that lent a dash of regality to an otherwise casual jacquard trouser and turtleneck sweater ensemble. Never one to be overshadowed, designer Jeremy Scott also came up with his own attention-grabbing accessory for the Moschino show, in the form of subversive-looking black latex masks and studded leather masks that almost entirely covered the faces of the models. Leather caps were also a recurring feature throughout the presentation, as well as the occasional chin strap. – AFP Relaxnews
