Fashion in the Bag – The Gleni Blog

Top French fashion labels such as Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, Jean Paul Gaultier, Hermès and Yves-Saint Laurent took part in this important event, introducing their vision of the men’s look for next summer: a man who, as we have already seen at Milan Fashion week, is confident of his good looks and charm and wants a look that is sexy and eye-catching.

Let’s look in more detail at the new proposals presented by our famous Italian designers for the men’s spring-summer 2010 collections.

Many important labels of Italian luxury style took part in the Milan fashion week this year and every one of them has made a valuable contribution to establishing the main coordinates of the men’s look for next spring-summer. However, we have focused our attention on the

A few days ago, from June the 20th to June the 23rd, Milan hosted one of the most eagerly awaited fashion events of the season: Milan fashion week (this year lasting just four days instead of five, as mentioned in our previous article), where all the top Italian fashion houses and many foreign ones presented their men’s spring-summer 2010 collections.

Milan is already preparing to open its doors to the new men’s spring-summer 2010 collections, the much awaited fashion event, which anticipates the trends in the matter of men’s clothing and accessories for next spring-summer 2010. The most important Italian designers and fashion houses interested in taking part in this special celebration, have already given their assent to the Chamber of Italian fashion and are getting ready to

Men’s bags are taking the fashion world by storm this season – no longer are they a dull and purely practical accessory, but men are being given choices of style, materials and design that have never existed before. Stylish young men at the forefront of fashion will know exactly what will suit them and what to avoid, but how does a man, who has never until now though

New York designers played it fairly safe for their Fall 09 menswear collections. Gone were the extravagant dandies of past years and in their place we saw rugged American road trip casual styles in denim and leather or no-nonsense business man chic in charcoal or black. The overall silhouette stayed …

It wasn’t very long ago that men were expected to keep everything they needed in their pockets. Keys, wallet, phone: all would have to find a home in a jacket or trouser pocket. The only permitted accessory for work was a uniform briefcase or attaché case, boxy, boring and black or brown. For casual carting around of equipment a sports bag with a sporting logo showed its manly purpose with no style achieved or intended.
Yet in 2009 it now seems that men have almost as much choice as women when it comes to bags: messenger bags, tote bags and there were even some men’s clutches shown on the catwalk by top designers for autumn/winter 2009/2010.

Last Sunday, January the 25th, Paris Fashion Week switched off its reflectors on the men’s autumn-winter 2009/2010 collections presented by the most famous French fashion houses and emerging designers. As you already know, this important show was preceded by another fashion event, Milan Fashion week where many world famous and Italian designers presented their own collections. Because of the closeness of these two events, fashion journalists and critics have had the opportunity to analyze and compare both these “fashion weeks” in a very detailed way and many criticisms have been made of both the events.

Before discussing this subject, let’s see in more detail what was proposed at the Paris fashion week by French designers:

Many of the top, world famous fashion houses took part in this show and it would be almost impossible describe each of them in detail. So we have decided to concentrate just on those designers who, more than others, have prioritized the usage of prestigious exotic leathers in the making of their masterpieces or have re-proposed the use of handbags and suitcases for men too, because, in our opinion, they are more relevant to our business and to our projects than the others.

From January the 17th till January the 20th, Milan was once again the center of one of the most important fashion events in the world: Milan fashion week, which this year was concentrated into just four days in order to allow journalists and designers to fly to Paris and take part in Paris fashion week, which started already on January the 21st.
This edition of the Milano Fashion Week saw the participation of about thirty-eight important labels, which presented the image of a classic, elegant man, a business man who takes care of himself and of his look.
