Italy-ALSHARQIYA  January 19: Silvia Venturini Fendi, creative director of the house, was keen on preparing a set of designs that would create a "new reality". It started from the classics of men's fashion to present pieces that are not linked to a specific time and depend in its concept on a new vision that takes into account the development of the lifestyle and the requirements of the modern man, in addition to the social conditions that the world is currently witnessing.
Variety, comfort and sobriety are the characteristics of this group that vacillates between creativity and reality, as it comes encrusted with new energy and some imagination.

The materials used in the implementation of these designs were luxurious and attached to them, and they attach great importance to comfort and freedom of movement. These materials ranged from wool, broadcloth, silk, and the wadded fabrics that adorned coats, jackets, and even shorts. Many of the designs were inspired by nightwear and home fashion, without losing anything of their elegance and sophistication.
The colors were neutral in a large part, ranging from beige and black through to light shades, but they were not without some monochrome designs that were distinguished by their strong, strong colors that are relatively strange from the men's wardrobe.

Some of the designs were decorated with prints and embroideries similar to children's drawings and signed by British comedian and illustrator Noel Fielding.
The new Fendi collection introduces a renewed look to menswear that it has modified to fit this new world that looks strange and natural at the same time. Check out some of the highlights of this collection below.

Milan-ALSHARQIYA   January 16: Moschino has chosen to present its men's collection for Fall 2021, one day before the start of Milan Fashion Week. The strangeness that marked this timing also affected the design of the group that presented it, which made it difficult to differentiate between the worlds of reality and fiction.
A collection par excellence presented by Creative Director of the House Jeremy Scott. The men's fashion included in Walidah came from long months that the designer spent in isolation and during which he continued drawing lessons, and his designs were influenced by two worlds: the old Hollywood elegance on the one hand and the spontaneity that accompanies hand drawing on the other hand.

Only 28 designs were included in this collection, which consisted of coats, suits, tracksuits, and even tuxedos that seemed to have passed down to us from the 1940s. The brushstrokes that usually decorate impressionist paintings are evident on costumes and accessories that had just appeared from the oil paintings. The décor surrounding the costumes evokes views of a city steeped in darkness as if it were an old police movie.
Global health conditions prevented Jeremy Scott from presenting new ones in the form of a direct show, as usual, and he was satisfied with presenting his uniforms in compliance with the protective measures against the spread of the Corona epidemic. The audience followed his collection on fashion websites and social media.

Classic cuts and artistic touches appeared clearly in the designs and were in harmony with the sporty character that was evident in the costumes, military shoes, and large bags. These designs have captured the attention of fashion critics, who have praised Jeremy Scott's innovative idea and executed it in an elaborate manner that blends reality and fiction. Check out some of the looks from this collection below.
