Versace for AW14 was very rodeo. It was like if Gianni appeared in the middle of Texas. Donatella Versace made one of these collection that aren’t too efforless- but as she said- for free men. Well, I didn’t see any free men wearing red leather trousers, crocodile driving gloves and VERSACE embroidered jacket for a while… The interesting fact was that the models wore those Gianni shirts on brown turtlenecks- that looked good. But the rest… is for you to digest.

Men’s: Dolce & Gabbana AW14
Gothic cathedral prints sprung over velvet, suede and silk suits and sweaters, some bejeweled. Velvet stripe trousers and suits suggested court jesters, while the oversized, broad shouldered silhouette and studded panels imitated armour. That was all about Dolce & Gabbana AW14 inspired with Medieval Italy. The models wore bejeweled gloves, crowns, helmets… that was certainly one of the monarchy meeting!
Men’s: Classics. No.21 AW14
Allesandro Dell’Acqua, the hot designer from Milan who is the creative director of best-selling label No.21, debuted his menswear collection for AW14. Knowing No.21 for women, the collection was expected in it’s coolness- No.21’s man wear a sweatshirt with elegant shirt under, straight lace trousers and brogues with embroidered (!) socks. With some mohair sweaters, “effortless” signs and fur coats, the collection is simply cool. I really want everything!
