Roberto Cavalli Men's Spring/Summer 2012

With a few exceptions, I am not finding much inspiration in Milan this season. This  RC collection was not particularly avant-garde (nor was it expected to be), but it did deliver the usual glamorous opulence that one can expect from RC, albeit with a bit more simplicity this time around.

Gucci and Roberto Cavalli, Fall/Winter 2012

I've never lumped two fashion shows together on this blog, but maybe I should start doing it some more. Both Gucci and Cavalli share common features, most notably the renewed interested in the 70's vibe (colour tones, flared pants, peaked lapels, etc.), so I figured that i may as well hit two birds here.

Most Gucci men's clothing is actually pretty plain-looking, but there are always a few really ostentatious showpiece items that few men could pull off.  Just about every Cavalli garment is ostentatious, but that doesn't mean it's not tasteful or appealing.  The Cavalli stuff I've collected below is pretty stunning especially the navy tuxedo.

Roberto Cavalli, Fall 2009 Men's

Are you from a former Soviet country? Are you an oligarch who illegally made your millions in the last few years? Do you own your own Apache helicopter? Are you dating an Estonian supermodel? More importantly, do you want to dress like her? If so, this is the label for you.
