The men's shows continue in Milan this week and fashion followers are feeling thrilled and excited with anticipation about the Fall season. Umit Benan is the talk to the town showing what many are calling "the most inspired collection." Benan's source of inspiration was America's original Wall Street psycho Patrick Bateman. Choosing models of an alternative sort, Benan showed true waist trousers with tapered, cuffed legs and in some cases long john pants with double breasted captain's jackets. Over at Moschino it was "mens sana in corpore sano" -healthy mind healthy body. Inspired by the uniforms designed by the Italian house for the Aironi Rugby Club, the models walked the runway in referee striped jackets and rugby shirts worn with blazers and rugby socks. At McQueen it was top-heavy proportions, with high collars, regal English accents and most notably models with a certain something. As Tim Blanks put it, "for all anyone knew the guys could have been from Kentucky or Kazakhstan, but dressed in McQueen, they were rough trade for Oscar Wilde..." Sexy!!!
