Milan Fashion Week is starting off the year in the correct way by setting the trends for fashion. The fashion extravaganza started on January 13 and will continue till January 17.
This year, the menswear Fall/Winter 2023 lineup saw young designers as well as heritage fashion houses bringing a new take on Italian style and defining key trends that will be big this year. The men’s fashion week opened with the much-awaited Gucci show, following the departure of its Creative Director Alessandro Michele in November 2022, Fendi’s play with silhouettes and accessories, Marco de Vincenzo’s debut menswear collection at Etro, and many others.

For Fall/Winter 2023, creative director Massimo Giorgetti took a different direction that was inspired by an imaginary fashion-forward university. The show opened with men walking in autographed varsity jackets, joggers, berets, colourful gym tracks as well as V-neck sweaters, cardigans, neckties, crossbody bags and huge backpacks.

DSquared2 creative directors Dean and Dan Caten took a maximalist take on the Fall/Winter 2023 menswear collection. From colourful cowboy boots, flannels, fringe-detailing and leather coats to graphic denims, the collection was heavily inspired by Western rodeo. Other items such as embossed coats, sweaters, collared shirts, matching black leather sets and tank tops with graphic statements were also part of the showcase.
