Continuing to brazenly fuse an abundance of elements, MSGM‘s A/W 2019 Men’s Collection presented at Milan Fashion Week not only ticks all the boxes of the savvy millennial, but also appeals to anyone older with a rebellious streak. Full of energy, colourful, and infused with a solid dose of street cred, the range of looks accentuate elements borrowed from motor racing culture, tailored silhouettes and Italian post-punk. All-over flame prints are like an engine fired up, knits read More Speed, and Turbo is prominently printed on T-shirts and caps. As said, colour is key, and MSGM‘s creative director Massimo Giorgetti applied Leopard print fleeces, but these are worn over zebra print nylon-zip ups, both in blue and black. Kways are saturated in 90s vivid shades, and a red eco-leather blouson is embroidered with the iconic Madonnina statue that adorns the majestic Duomo in Milan. Meanwhile, black & white scenes from popular 1980s Japanese football cartoon Holly & Benji are woven as jacquards for coats. Tailoring is done the quirky MSGM way, featuring double-breasted wool blazers cut boxy on the body, elegant double-breasted wool coats worn under the exaggerated shape of an eco-leather padded jacket, and the whole look is in a subtle beige hue. Versatile body bags can be worn in so many different ways, and leather shoes and square-toed boots are joined by the classic Fila Silva trainer that’s been given an MSGM update. Shown here are eleven looks from MSGM‘s A/W 2019 Men’s Collection that we particularly like. Show location: Coworking Space Milan, Via Calabiana 6 (Porta Romana).
Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
