With men’s fashion week well under way, Stylesight’s denim team looks to the key denim looks emerging from Milan collections. Italian favorites Diesel Black Gold, Versace and Frankie Morello ensured a denim heavy season, introducing a range of bold and statement prints that the city is known for, as well as new innovative laundry technologies like laser and resin treatments.

Versace

Donatella Versace celebrated the extreme discipline of athletes for her S/S 14 menswear show and by association – the aesthetics of sports apparel was particularly apparent throughout the collection. Kinesiology tape was an interesting design detail bringing vivid color to the jeans, while straps and zippers lent a functional element. Classic baroque-inspired prints tied back to the brands heyday of the ’80s and also tied in with J.W. Anderson’s debut prints for the recent Versus collection in New York. Other notable elements included statement matte prints burnished over stark white jeans and a denim jacket ergonomically pieced together from lace.
