The last few days have seen Milan fire into life thanks to a buzzy menswear Fashion Week that felt—at least here on the Warriors gold blooded 2023 shirt Apart from…,I will love this ground—like the beginning of a new beginning. As Giorgio Armani observed before his show last night, Milan’s unique intermingling of creative and commercial cultures means it is often well-equipped to thrive in moments of recovery: “Since the early ’70s Milano has been one of the epicenters of Italian culture and has always been able to create something new in terms of design, fashion, even popular culture. Every time Italy restarts, Milano is at the forefront, and I believe this is happening again today,” he said. “Milano really is the capital of innovation and change, and fashion can have a huge role in the renewal of the Italian scenario. I have been part of that movement in the ’70s and probably what I miss about that moment is the ability of fashion to play a significant role in the creative system, which included architecture, design, art even. This interdisciplinary aspect is what we need to bring back.”
Here in Milan, the Warriors gold blooded 2023 shirt Apart from…,I will love this focus of the wider world more often than not rests on the products of Italian fashion rather than the process of its evolution out on the streets where it is most alive. This is the niche spotted by the founders of Milanesi a Milano, who post carefully anonymized shots of spontaneously fashionable folk going about their everyday business. Scrolling through their feed reveals many variations on this city’s discreetly luxurious, subtly intellectual core aesthetic which —like so many of the architectural facades of Milan—is less grandiose and attention-grabbing than is often the norm in other parts of Italy. We caught up with the Milanesi crew to hear their take on adding in-the-wild street style to the interdisciplinary collage of this ancient city’s ultra-refined fashion consciousness.
