New York Fashion Week : DKNY Fall 2008 Collection

Dexie Wharton — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 22:19:13 +0000

At New York Fashion Week, Donna Karan showcased her 14 DKNY Men’s Fall 2008 collection. She vowed one day to put DKNY Men in ties and gosh darnnit it, she did. She followed suit, no pun intended, with the layering trend for Fall. Wool over nylon, cardigan over jacket, etc. Tim Blanks thought the Donna Karan’s collection could’ve benefited from the red accents detailed on scarves but I digress. My reason after the pictures…

I love Donna Karan’s DKNY Men’s Fall 2008 Collection. The styles may be a bit boring for runway standards but they certainly transcends off the runway. I hate it when clothes featured on the runway doesn’t have a chance in the real world’s everyday life. I could easily see any of these suits ensemble paired with indigo jeans on any of you guys. The collection is relatable and not in the least bit superfluous.

If you look at the Giorgio Armani Fall 2008 Collection you’d see a “Regal” approach which he aptly used the word for. Witness the velvets, hats, high-collared shirts, 3-piece suits, and the uncanny influence of Cary Grant in the modern-era.

From the recently concluded Milan(D&G, Armani, Missoni, Versace) as well as Paris Fashion Week showcasing the 2008 Spring/Summer Men’s look , Men.Style has compiled their top 10 list of what will supposedly be the hottest trends for Spring 2008 in Men’s Fashion. Here they are with my own observations :

1. Hammer Pants. Yes, we’re talking about MC Hammer’s pants.
2. Neon Signs. Just please try not to blind somebody.
3. Sheer Modesty. Make sure you shave and do some abs workout, heh.
4. The Hockney Effect.
5. All Zipped Up. Try not to go over board.
6. The Shawl Thing. Making the formal suit a daytime option.

Dolce & Gabbana Men’s Wear Spring/Summer 2008 Milan Fashion Week

While VERSACE showcased solid colors of suits, jackets and pants with pastel accents in undershirts and suits. D&G’s Spring/Summer 2008 collection focused on prints, military inspired look and accentuating the line with bulky scarves. Not only that, the Italian designer duo, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana also infused some beachwear in mini trunks style and bemuda shorts in bold floral prints and striped/print shirts as well.

Crocodile lace up shoes compliments the formal wear while wide-strapped sandals were paired with casuals.

I personally like the bold flower prints of the bermuda shorts. I’m guessing D&G is trying to re-introduce or at least make Men be interested again in swimming trunks after the recent James Bond movie wherein James wore a blue swimming trunks. I don’t understand the bulky scarves though. Who wears scarves during warmer days?
