Menswear In Milan: A Bloody Mess
In a former life, I used to go to the menswear shows in Milan. But, judging from this week’s crop that demanded that headline “Bloody Mess,” I couldn’t help but think of an exchange from the 1950 movie masterpiece “Caged.” Hope Emerson, playing a woman’s prison matron, gets dolled up for her night off. She walks into the bullpen filled with her lady charges. When one of them reacts negatively to her outfit, she says, “The guy outside likes the way I look.” To which one of the girls, formerly a prostitute, quips, “If that’s what dames is wearing outside, I’m glad I’m in here.” If the above photos are what guys are wearing in Milan, I’m glad I’m in New York.
