Milan Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2024 has just wrapped up, let’s dive into the heart of style and sophistication, and explore the highlights from some of the most iconic brands that graced the runway this season.
Stone Island
Fendi
Emporio Armani
Emporio Armani, the brand that consistently epitomizes Italian elegance, did not disappoint. Giorgio Armani presented a collection that paid homage to sailors and maritime themes. The designs included sailor hats, structured sailor coats, and tailored pieces adorned with sailor motifs. The show concluded with a series of models in bejeweled or embroidered capes and tailoring.
Armani boldly revisited the iconic ’80s fashion era, introducing a line of biker-style jackets, suits, and trench coats with a distinctive broad-shouldered silhouette. This design choice harkens back to the spacious and standout styles reminiscent of those worn by Rick Astley in his famed music videos, marking a daring and nostalgic move in Armani’s collection. Each piece exemplified the brand’s commitment to quality and style, perfect for the man who appreciates the finer things in life.
Prada
Prada, always a trendsetter, took a slightly different route this season. Their collection was a nod to vintage styles, but with a modern twist. It was all about reinventing classic looks with an edge, creating a blend that was both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Their use of unconventional materials and patterns made their collection one of the most talked-about at the event. Prada presented a collection that explored the dynamic interplay between different environments, specifically the contrast between office settings and outdoor elements. This theme was evident in the collection’s tailoring, which Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons reimagined with a unique blend of classic and sporty influences, borrowing aspects from the world of swimming.
The show itself was a testament to Prada’s ability to challenge and redefine conventional fashion narratives. This collection marked yet another chapter in Prada’s long-standing tradition of pushing the boundaries of fashion, blending traditional elements with unexpected, contemporary twists.
JW Anderson
JW Anderson’s collection was a true spectacle of creativity. Known for pushing boundaries, this year’s collection was a mix of avant-garde and practicality. Inspired by Stanley Kubrick’s movie “Eyes Wide Shut”, JW Anderson’s collection included dramatic elements like knitwear with bulbous ruffles, while also offering more wearable pieces such as oversized chore jackets paired with simple trousers.
MSGM
Massimo Giorgetti gives MSGM some edge and taking the unpreddictable route by framing his show in improbable locations. This time MSGM staged the show at the Porta Venezia metro station. MSGM’s collection collaborated with architect Franco Albini. The designs included eclectic graphics inspired by the metro walls, with a focus on simple yet impactful designs like sparkly tinsel knits, wide trousers, and boxy suits.
Zegna
Last but not least, Zegna presented a collection that was the epitome of modern luxury. Zegna showcased a range that highlighted the versatility of cashmere, symbolizing innovation in menswear. The collection was characterized by layering, but with a renewed sense of generosity, creating relaxed and enveloping shapes that were neither constricting nor shapeless. The designs emphasized modularity, allowing for mixing and matching of tops, bottoms, underpinnings, and accessories to create a personal canvas.
Their focus on fine tailoring, luxurious fabrics, and a muted color palette resonated with a sense of understated elegance. It was a masterclass in how minimalism can make a powerful impact, ideal for the gentleman who values simplicity and sophistication. Closing out Milan Fashion Week, Zegna’s collection was well-received for its focus on quiet luxury. The brand has been a favorite among those appreciating this understated style, much like Brunello Cucinelli and Loro Piana.

A thin edge of seduction and the consumerism fetish is thoroughly blurred in Acosta’s art in the use of both light, and dark tones. Bold lines serve as a fashionable juxtaposition of a peaceful dream-like state and a vivid color, representing action and presence in the moment.
