Magliano’s Downbeat Chic for Spring 2023 Has Cinematic Qualities – WWD – Pen 18

Luca Magliano should consider moving his fashion show from Milan Fashion Week to the Cannes Film Festival. Directors like Jim Jarmusch or Chloe Zhao might just as well combine the fascinating storytelling with the designer’s downbeat chic to the compelling story.

Some of the men walking the catwalk with their raised Perspex looked as though they had gotten out of the shower to answer the door, pulled up an all-nighter or maybe even slept on a park bench. One fellow, eyes down, was walking in a large gray T-shirt with an “I” and a broken heart symbol.

Press notes refer to recycled scarves and “shirts made from old shirts”, which explains the old, out-of-date quality for many garments. Yet it was hard to tell whether was repurchased and recycled, or just to look old, and beaten.

The fashion pack passed rusty wheelbarrows and heaps of weeds on their way into the show venue, an abandoned electrical substation with broken windows and decades of dust in the corners.

But while the display had a gloomy, dystopian air, make no mistake that Magliano has the definite hand stitching and terrific color sense, sliding cocoa brown together with dusty purple, or olive with fiery red. Here’s a collection that calls for a re-watch.

There’s a new grunge king in Milan, and possibly a budding costume designer.

The Dutchman secured three more penalty corners but failed to breach the Indian defence.

India secured a PC in the 16th minute but Harmanpreet Singh’s flick was saved by the Dutch custodian.

India had their chances, but Visser scored a brilliant performance in front of the Netherlands goal.

India secured a penalty corner in four minutes from a hooter, but once again missed the opportunity to put up their best performance for the second day in a row.

Çanaku Men’s Spring 2023 – WWD – Pen 18

In 1991, Viola Valentino, the then-famous pop star from Italy, came out with a hit song titled “Romantici,” or “The Romantics,” which summed up the willful and dreamy inclinations of the youth of the era.

Among them, designer Jurgen Kanaku’s Albanian parents were fleeing their country to Italy. Tales from that journey have been the designer’s primary source of inspiration since founding his brand after years as a buyer, combining a post-romantic aesthetic and a vintage flair.

As her fashions gained steam and were picked up by musicians such as menskins for public events, her tailoring intensified for spring, yet with lots of retro twists, such as the double-breasted suit in gem blue. Done with slightly flared pants, green or mustard yellow.

A pin-striped number with wide lapels and a retro twist read New Romantics, while cropped and cropped sartorial pieces were just too much, including an emerald green tuxedo jacket cropped at the hip.
