This week marks the arrival of Milan Fashion Week Men’s A/W 2024, promising a blueprint for how men will dress in the season ahead – from the richly sartorial to the boldly experimental. On the first day, all eyes were on Sabato De Sarno – the Gucci creative director showed his debut menswear collection for Gucci, infused with an easy sensuality – and Stone Island, the cult Italian label holding its own first runway show, despite being founded in 1982.
Elsewhere, JW Anderson will return to Milan to show a menswear collection no doubt punctuated with the unexpected – on Instagram he has teased budgie-shaped clutch bags – while Prada will attempt to follow its viral slime-drenched runway with another equally transporting show set. Shows and collections from Dolce & Gabbana, Emporio Armani and Giorgio Armani, Tod’s, MSGM and Zegna (among others), will round out the schedule, the latter closing the week on January 15, 2024.
