MILAN (AP) – The line, long under-rated as one of geometry’s most basic forms, is getting a lot of exposure on the Milan menswear runway.
Designers are embracing stripes of, well, every stripe, and using them as a metaphor of sorts to clean up the line, that is the silhouettes, of the collections presented during Milan Fashion Week, in its third day on Monday.
For next summer, men can expect to be wearing stripes, both fine and bold, along with pulsating, radiating and curving lines, as well as simple checks, all creating optical effects that bely the simplicity of some of the looks. Lines are also being worked into the fabric, in chunky textiles that create an architecture of their own.
EMPORIO ARMANI
Giorgio Armani says he has done a wholesale cleanup of looks for his Emporio Armani collection for next spring and summer.
