sun on sand; Doric columns and PECS
more clothes for nobody
Yeah, maybe the title's a little harsh.
Realistically, though, what I see here are some casual looks that work as such, a few suits that don't look as though they were designed by a coven of Sicilian crack whores, and more than a few Sicilian men I wouldn't kick out of my bed.
(Being real for a moment, how the hell would any of these Sicilian men end up in my bed to begin with?)
I allow that Stefano and Domenico had a thematic center to this collection: they were viewing Greece through the filter of Sicily, which is certainly a valid conceit. However, the printed suits? Who wears those?
Many of the printed shirts (which I assume are intended as casual wear) are interesting enough as simple tees to wear around town or as beach gear, and while I don't necessarily like the length of the shorts, they're not offensive.
The tanks and swimwear are what they are: attractive shapewear, and again, not truly objectionable (though that conclusion may have something to do with the distractingly attractive models). Even the wide-striped slacks, taken as individual pieces, are something I'd wear (if they were available in a size big enough for my ample ass).
The suits in dark neutrals or in jewel tones are damn near comical. I can't criticize the white ones, because they have a very Suddenly, Last Summer vibe to them, and, frankly, I've probably had dreams of wearing suits very similar to them in my naïve teenage years (definitely a Tennessee Williams period of my disastrous youth).
In all seriousness, though, what in this collection is worth the prices that the boutiques will charge for them? Even allowing for quality of materials, what's going on here that's supposed to appeal to retail buyers who must consider shelf space that they need to fill with product that will really sell (before it ends up on racks at Ross or TJMaxx)?
Just thoughts that I'm having - repeatedly - with each additional mens' collection I see this year.
