From plunging swimsuits, triangle kufi caps paired with hot pink flowery jumpers and garish chequered clown attire, Andrea Incontri didn't impress on the first day of Milan Men's Spring/Summer Fashion Week yesterday.
It started off well as Dolce & Gabbana showed a collection of sharp suits and forward-thinking printed tops. But then immediately after, Incontri's bizarre designs confused the mood.
It didn't get better as Versace showed a crazy collection of khaki sweaters and pants covered in strips of bright colour and 80s paint-splattered boiler suits.

Andrea Incontri's show took place right after D&G. While their models were handsome enough, the attire was not

Pushing the tribal motif dominant this season, Versace's models sported bright lashings of paint on their clothing and even their arms, legs, and chests.
In contrast, Jil Sander, as always, was rather more subdued. But while her new collection was more restrained, it didn't fail to push the envelope.
Similarly to Versace's paint-spattered designs, Jil Sander's Spring/Summer offering exhibited a Jackson Pollock-inspired knee-length overcoat. The jacket's white curlicues over heady black provided a dizzying vision in monochrome.
The minimalist German fashion house also featured a deconstructed black coat and shorts: the shorts are voluminous while the overcoat billows, putting one more in mind of an enrobed Hogwarts professor than an uber-serious fashionista.
The week didn't lack sophistication; Dolce & Gabbana, Les Hommes, and Bottega Veneta all impressed. But some of the collections on show certainly felt a bit larky. Are Donatella Versace and Andrea Incontri clowning around or do they seriously think their designs will translate onto the high street?

Go for gold (and coral)!
