And we get plenty of that with “HA HA HA,” a title that nods to the co-designers’ initials and is more obviously the traditional signifier of laughter and joy. Styles’ ‘70s-inspired wardrobe, full of bright pops of color, flared bottoms, and bold patterns aligns perfectly with Michele’s current design language for the fashion house. The two friends even attended the 2019 Met Gala together. Styles also became the face of the Gucci Tailoring campaign in 2018 and starred in various ads. Styles has blossomed into a modern day fashion icon in his own right known for his androgynous style and Gucci’s creative director Alessandro Michele has been dressing the singer for countless award shows and concerts since 2015. During Milan Fashion Week, Gucci revealed its latest collaboration to the world, a 25-look collection with Styles titled “Ha Ha Ha.” The partnership shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise. Harry Styles’ funky “Music For a Sushi Restaurant’’ has been slowly burrowing its way into our brains with each passing play, but the 28-year-old British pop star isn’t only creating new music. But with this collection, Prada and Simons help us by offering their simplest proposition. And as we ease back into “normal” life, the paradox of choice can be a struggle when you consider getting dressed again. If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that the state of the world affects what we wear, whether we notice it or not. Each look was paired with a black cowboy boot that curved upward, or a black sneaker covered with a splash of colors. The line was accentuated with gingham jackets, which lent the items a new context, and striped knits. There was a focus on wardrobe staples like the suit, which was slim a washed denim, which was also close to the body (and included short shorts) and leather jackets and shorts with zipper details. Prada and Simons called it “an expression of curated processes” in the post-show release adding that the line is an expression of the design process, which involves complex decision making even with simple results. Despite the whimsical set, the collection was pared down. Titled “Prada Choices,” Prada’s Spring/Summer 2023 men’s collection was presented at the Prada Foundation, a multi-room space designed to look like a mocked-up house made entirely of raw edge paper and accentuated by long gingham curtains and a floor covered with strips of brown paper that evoked a childlike spirit. Here are our highlights from Milan and Paris Men’s Fashion Week. Reese Cooper, Bianca Saunders, Airei, and so many other young labels also rounded out the show calendar. Nigo returned to Paris to present another standout collection for Kenzo that celebrated classic collegiate style while Thom Browne returned this season to reimagine an iconic womenswear staple. KidSuper’s first presentation on the official calendar was actually an art auction that supposedly pulled in over a half million in sales. In Paris, Louis Vuitton presented another posthumous collection designed by Virgil Abloh’s team that included a surprise live performance from Kendrick Lamar. And designers like JW Anderson, who is British, opted to present in Milan for the first time. Milan also served as a platform for young designers like Dhruv Kapoor, who debuted his first live runway presentation and became the first Indian designer to present at Milan Fashion Week. Beloved Belgian menswear designer Raf Simons continued to collaborate with Miuccia Prada to help steer Prada’s menswear offerings into a more modern and youthful direction. Williams of Alyx unveiled an exciting range of garments, including an innovative new footwear collaboration with Nike, during a high-octane show that teased a new song by Yeat. In Milan, Prada, Alyx, and Zegna were highly anticipated. After an exciting run of collections at London Fashion Week and Florence’s Pitti Uomo, Milan and Paris followed with a packed schedule of presentations and shows after many brands opted for virtual outings because of Covid.
