The comeback of the dandy

Vibe: Luxe exotica. The fuzzy and warm seats were warm and welcoming.

F-Rowing: Anna Dello Russo, Ben Northover, Li Chen, Giacomo Gianiotti, Derek Blasberg

Highlights: The fall winter 2016 line was a celebration of men's couture as the brand staged an ornate yet refined collection laced with embellishments. Perhaps aiming at the jet-setting dandy who's not scared of sporting some bling and has a strong sense of identity. Superimpose Stefano Pilati's iconic tailoring with distinctive mix of patterns like paisleys, rhombus and florals from head-to-toe and you've got a winning combination.
It was a ménage à trois of three dimensional hand embroideries, artisanal rich motifs and woven patchwork of jacquard patterns. Capes, beaded tuxedo pants, perforated leather gloves and richly patterned brogues - all spell a night of high octane glamour in town. Easily one of the major highlights of Milan fashion week.
