While the menswear shows from the major houses in Milan might have felt a bit similar and similarly straight on, the city’s younger and upcoming brands showed that it still has some needed surprises to offer. From 1017 Alyx 9SM’s collaborative co-opting of consumerist attitudes to Charles Jeffery Loverboy’s Milan debut that brought the kilt back to its historical rebelliousness, the less-frequented runways were alight with a punkish fire.
Taking home the top spot is Magliano, whose show, though it might have been somewhat somber in presentation and palette, evinced a thrilling sense of experimentation and subversion as it hybridized and reconstructed familiar categories to create clothing that was beyond any definition or binary, but simply for people.
