The Pitti Uomo<\/strong> men’s fashion fair opened on 10 January and is currently in full swing in Florence, Italy, until 13 January. 789 exhibitors, 40% of whom are from abroad, are presenting their collections for autumn-winter 2023\/24. The 100th edition of the event also includes a host of events around the Basso Fortress, which dates back to the 14th century and has transcended many fashions. Among the highlights is the presentation of her collection by Martine Rose, the up-and-coming British designer and guest designer for the season. She chose a symbolic place to present her sales: the Loggia del Mercato Nuovo, the historic market in the city centre!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Milan Fashion Week will start on 13 January and will run until 17 January. The opportunity to discover the most creative visions of Autumn-Winter 2023-24 in luxury for men.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One of the most scrutinised shows will be that of Gucci<\/strong>, whose artistic director, Alessandro Michele, announced his departure last November. We are still waiting for the name of his or her replacement.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Among the other Italian houses, we will find the Prada<\/strong> collections, designed by Miuccia Prada<\/strong> and Raf Simons<\/strong>, as well as those of Armani, Fendi, and Dolce & Gabbana.<\/strong>\u00a0The latter will welcome the Japanese Tomo Koizumi<\/strong> to their show. A way for Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana<\/strong> to boost other talents, as they had already done last September for Women, with the collections of Matty Bovan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Finally, the Milan Week will allow us to discover the masculine approach of Marco de Vincenzo<\/strong>, the brand new creative director of Etro<\/strong>, who has already made his entrance on the catwalk in Women’s.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On the other hand, Versace<\/strong> is not on the calendar this season: the House prefers Los Angeles to present its collection on 10 March.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Italian capital will also allow several British designers to shine this season, such as the designer JW Anderson<\/strong>, but also the gender-fluid and flamboyant Scottish Charles Jeffrey Loverboy<\/strong>, who will make his debut in Milan.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n After Milan, it will be Paris’ turn to welcome the men’s designers from 17 to 22 January. With a tempting programme.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The comeback of Saint Laurent<\/strong>, absent since 2015 from the calendar, under the leadership of its artistic director Anthony Vaccarello<\/strong>, is highly anticipated. Another comeback in the French capital, but after a shorter period, since the pandemic: that of Emily Adams Bode<\/strong>, the eponymous New York designer of the Bode label.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Among the Anglo-Saxons, Londoner Grace Wales Bonner, who was named the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America)<\/strong> Men’s Fashion Designer of the Year in 2021 and was a guest at Pitti Uomo last season, will also be showing in Paris for the first time. While her compatriot Bianca Saunders will continue to show in the capital.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fashion Mode will also be paying attention to the Louis Vuitton<\/strong> show, designed by the studio while waiting for the appointment of a talent capable of taking over from Virgil Abloh<\/strong>, who tragically passed away at the end of 2021.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fashion professionals and aficionados will be delighted by the previews of the companies, both established and rising stars, that are now giving the La in Man: from Herm\u00e8s to Lemaire, via Paul Smith, Ami, Etudes, Rick Owens, Dries Van Noten, Casablanca, Ludovic de Saint Sernin…<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n On Sunday, Maison Margiela<\/strong> will have the honour of closing this beautiful Parisian men’s edition with some forty fashion shows and thirty presentations.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Read also >\u00a0Calendar for Fashion Week 2023-2024<\/a><\/p>\nItalians and British in the spotlight<\/h2>\n
